- about me:
- I am live in Louisville, KY and have been a reader as long as I can remember. As a kid I would rather go to the Library then the toy store...that is one thing that hasn't changed, but book stores are a weakness. I have a book shelf of TBR books...not just a pile. I have a husband and a one year old (she is the photo I selected) so my time is limited! 50 books is going to be a challenge for me.
- books I want to read this year:
- there are lots on my blog, but here are some others...
Out Stealing Horse – Per Petterson
The Book Thief – Markus Zusak
I am the messenger– Markus Zusak
Little bitty Lies by Mary Kay Andrews reviewed

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.
