I am a part-time resident of Saugerties; a full-time television producer and writer, occasional fiction writer, and big fan of literary writing. I’ve been coordinating a reading series at the beautifully renovated Inquiring Mind/Muddy Cup book store and coffee shop in Saugerties. Readings will take place on the last Sunday of each month. I’ve communicated with some of the people on this list and some of you are scheduled to read in the series. I would love to hear from others who would be interested. Frankly, the challenge so far has been sorting through the incredible talent available and putting together a coherent series. But I promise to do my best to do justice to as many Hudson Valley writers as I can. So let me know if you’re interested … and if you have a suggestion for good pairings and combos of writers, feel free to let me know.

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.
