- about me:
- I was just looking through communities here on Ning, and found this place. On 43things, a lot of people have the goal to read so many books in a year, so it drew my interest.
I'm 32, live in Ohio, and grew up mainly in England. I live a very quiet life, at the moment, but it should be getting busier as the year goes on...
- Books I want to read this year:
- I'm working my way through the Golden Compass trilogy (all in one book, borrowed from a family friend). I just finished Happiness Sold Separately, which is the book choice for a book club right here on Ning. :)
I'm just going with whatever comes my way.

My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. My debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available for pre-order from Amazon.com, and I am writing because I was hoping you might be willing to read it and post your thoughts on Amazon.com (or some of the other book review sites). If you're interested, I'd be more than willing to send you an e-book version by e-mail. Just let me know. 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.
