At 1:02pm on March 4, 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 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

My latest discoveries are On Chesyl Beach by Ian McEwan and a super great detective novel, The Athenian Murders by José Carlos Somoza.

My linux machine doesn't have sound (incompatable sound card for linux) and my new computer (with the good sound card) had the sound goofed by loading the new flash player. I have tried everything to get the sound working again, but no good. I will have to bust the computer back doen to the bare operating system and restore the sound, then bring it back up to current. I may have to not watch any videos, so I can keep my super audiophile sound card working, so I can work on my operas! For now, I get no sound!

Thanks for your comment on my blog posting. Isn't it sad that someone would deprive themselves of reading pleasure? I hope to become dear friends Delphine!

Excellent Women by Barbara Pym

I just finished reading Excellent Women by Barbara Pym. She may not be the greatest writer of the 20th century, but I love her humor and her tenderness towards her character. So go ahead and read at least one book by Barbara Pym, you should enjoy it. Excellent Women is about the life of a very endearing spinster in a British village.

Opus Dei and freedom of speech

Opus Dei is suing friends of mine, a small publishing company. Easier to attack them than Dan Brown :-))))

Quand la puissante Opus Dei s'attaque à une petite maison d'édition.

LES PROTAGONISTES

Créée en 1928 en Espagne à l'initiative de José Maria Escriva de Balaguer, prêtre catholique canonisé en 2002 par Jean-Paul II, l'Opus Dei, prélature de l'Eglise catholique, est une organisation puissante, présente dans le monde entier.

Things People Say and Do at Book Signings

Saturday was a Killer Career book signing at Barnes and Noble in Schaumburg. I just love the way they do their posters, by the way. Very professional looking.

It was 70 degrees outside, which is an unusual temperature for November. Needless to say, not everyone wanted to waste such a beautiful day by pending it inside a book shop.

The usual assortment of customers did come by, some asking me questions about how long it took to write my book, how I got started, and how many books I'd written.
Some said they'd never heard of me. I've heard that one before. (g)

What was surprising is that three children, not at the same time or with the same party, asked for my autograph - two on the back of bookmarks, one on a slip of paper. That usually doesn't happen. Maybe it's the economy. I don't know if their parents put them up to it, or if they thought of it themselves.

One person asked about my book and then said she doesn't buy from Barnes and Noble, but online instead. Since she was in the store, I can only assume she was scouting there for books first. I don't know.

Oh, yes, a variation on the restroom question was, "Where are the dictionaries?"

Another took the time to show me some missing pages in one of the magazines.

What about you? What questions have people asked you at book signings? Anything that stood out at a book signing you'd like to share?
