Hi,

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.

If you'd like to read the first chapter before you commit, feel free to visit my web site:

Thanks so much,
Chris

Thank you, for the invite. This will be fun. Though I do have much going on so don't know how often I will be able to log on. Could you explain a little to me about this site? I understand the basic principles, but am a little confused as to the goal other than sharing our favorite books. Is there a goal of reading each-others pic's or do I have the basic gist down. Also not sure how I got invited to be on this as I am not sure I know any of these people. New to me but always open to meeting new friends.

must update more....

I really must get in the habit of updating as soon as I finish a book. I'm trying to remember everything I've read since....well, since Twilight actually. I'll be going through goodreads.com like a madwoman. Once that's done, I'll show a decent presence here as well....yay....
In the meantime, everyone go read "I Captured the Castle" if you haven't. WONDERFUL book.
