- About Me:
- I began writing stories as soon as I could read. As a child, I preferred reading to playing outside. I wrote poems and stories and was a “stringer” for a teen magazine when I was in high school. I was a journalism major in college.
Christine Abbott (Erny) and I bought the rights to Deadly Ink in 2005. Our first conference was in June 2006 and was great fun (and a lot of work!). We formed Deadly Ink Press in 2006, announcing it at the conference. Also new this year are our novel contest, David G. Sasher, Sr. Award and Ida Chittum Award and Awards Banquet.
I’m single and live in northwestern NJ with my cat, Rippy. I have three adult children, two grandchildren, four adult “step-children” and eight “step-grandchildren”.
I still love to write and currently have three works in progress. All mysteries, of course.

Memorial Day Thoughts
I grieve with all the families who have lost loved ones and at the same time, share in the pride and happiness of our memories. My Dad served in WWII in Europe. He never talked to me about the war. I never asked. I was 23 when Dad died, and busy with 3 toddlers. It wasn't until I was much older that I wished I had asked more questions, wished I knew more about the person my father was, the life he had lived.
This past year I lost my fiancee, Dave Sasher. Dave proudly served in the Navy

… ContinueI had 1,000 flyers folded, stapled and set to go out when I found two mistakes in it. So I'm reprinting them now and tonight will be folding, stapling, addressing, stamping.....after I get home from a writers group meeting.
The conference is only 6 weeks away. I'm pleased with our lineup and program, but I'm late getting the flyers out. I hope we'll still have good attendance. We usually do.
Dave Sasher always did the folding and s

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

PIVTR is always looking for fresh voices, talent and expertise.
My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. I am writing because my debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available, and I was hoping you might be willing to read it and post your comments on some of the book review sites like amazon.com. If you're interested, I'd be glad to send you an e-book version of the book. 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.
