At 5:31pm on August 3, 2009, Sandy Vaughan said…: i do wish they would stop blinking at me that i have new mail. i am trying to read your book. i like it. it reads like poetry. i may have to stop for a while ...in the middle of another book. but i just had to tell you. i only got into your book because of another email. i am so like a two year old! you know, the one hold something in each hand who finds something with sparkles and has to let go of something in one hand so he can pick it up? he just continues that way. hence, my blog name of hodgepodge.

At 5:04pm on August 3, 2009, Sandy Vaughan said…: rats...i cant find my place...where some reviewed your book and found a misspelled word....i found it so you can fix it... chapter 2 dive...should be "somewhere", not "somewhen"...paragraph starts with i walk between the worlds. not looking for it, just dislexic so when things don't make sense, i have to reread them.

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”

Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."

Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"

Book Synopsis:

The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.

Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.

The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.

At 11:34am on May 22, 2009, Gerry Chambers said…: Thanks for the ideas. picked them up last night. can't wait to get home tonight to crack the covers. thanks again.

At 3:16pm on May 21, 2009, Gerry Chambers said…: what is the title of one of your current books and is it worth a recommendation. i am heading for the bookstore tonight.

At 2:30pm on May 21, 2009, Gerry Chambers said…: I know I'm the same way. My wife thinks I need help. Maybe I do. I think in hindsight I should have a reading room added on to the house where I can pile or leave books anyway I want. The door would be locked when I wasn't there so the "mess" wouldn't bother anyone. I digress. Must have too much time on my hands. Does your significant other read a lot??

At 12:59pm on May 21, 2009, Gerry Chambers said…: Thanks a lot for becoming my friend. I'm very new at this blogging scene but have been a lover of all books for more years than I care to remember. Thanks again.

At 10:27am on February 21, 2009, Chris Tusa said…: Hi,

My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. My debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is being released from the University of West Alabama on March 1st, and is now available for pre-order from Amazon.com. I am writing because I was hoping you might be willing to mention it on your blog (or consider it for review). I've included a summary of the novel below:

Dirty Little Angels
Set in the slums of New Orleans, among clusters of crack houses and abandoned buildings, Dirty Little Angels is the story of sixteen year old Hailey Trosclair. When the Trosclair family suffers a string of financial hardships and a miscarriage, Hailey finds herself looking to God to save her family. When her prayers go unanswered, Hailey puts her faith in Moses Watkins, a failed preacher and ex-con. Fascinated by Moses's lopsided view of religion, Hailey, and her brother Cyrus, begin spending time down at an abandoned bank that Moses plans to convert into a drive-through church. Gradually, though, Moses's twisted religious beliefs become increasingly more violent, and Hailey and Cyrus soon find themselves trapped in a world of danger and fear from which there may be no escape.

Thanks so much,
Chris
