Profile Information
- Are you an Author, Reader, Publisher, Editor, Agent or Other?
- I am a reader, reviewer and now an editor of romance, romantica, para, fantasy, historical fiction and some modern fiction too! Also assorted Clifford, fairy tale and early reader books as I have small children. :-) I think fairy tales are what began my love of historical fiction and romantic heroes. I got married in a 'castle' (ok, the Excalibur in Vegas....that counts, right?) to a man wearing a kilt; so I figure they made an imprint!

I have begun reviewing for Coffee Time Romance. Check out my staff page under 'Heather'. :-) Several of my reviews are up and more are on deck. Also doing an interview there this month, check it out in February. I am still writing for World Voice News, but have run into a few techincal issues with them that they have yet to address (their tech support sux), so 2 of the articles I posted have not shown up yet. Bummer. BUT....fear not, talented writers, I am working on the glitch and hope to ha

Slides, Anyone?
I added a few slides of my books to my blogspot. I'm not sure yet if they should stay on or not.Do you have more trouble loading my blogspot with the slides up? Do you like them or are they too distracting?
A Christmas Tree Already
On the way home from work yesterday, I passed a house that already had a lighted and decorated Christmas tree up and showing by the window.Is it not too soon for that? In my mind, the day after Thanksgiving is when the Christmas Season starts. That's when it's fair game to put up a tree and decorations and start shopping. The way things are going this year, I'll be lucky if I get organized enough to decorate a few days before Christmas.
With our dog, Rascal, who lives up to her name, we'll probably go with a fiber optic small tree on top of an end table. One of these days I may pull put the larger tree from the box in the basement and set it up, but not until our doggy is a little more sedate. I don't feel like chasing her to get ornaments out of her mouth. I will be putting up knick knacks, lights inside and decorations on the walls, so it will still look Christmasy. No lights outside because for some reason we have no outlets outside.
While we're on the subject of Christmas trees and such, be sure to add holidays in your books. You can mention decorations and lights or Easter eggs and baskets, or even mattress sales in your descriptions to ground the reader as to the season.
Now, back to that tree I saw. What about you? When do you decorate for Christmas? What do you put up?
Winners and Losers at the CMAs and Life
I love country music and almost every country performer. While watching the CMAs, I enjoyed seeing the winners accept their awards. On the other hand, it was hard for me to see the losers do their best to appear gracious and for the most part succeeding.For every winner, there's a loser. In life and in books, it's the same way. How people react to their good and bad fortune shows what their characters are made of. You don't have to tell a reader who the good guy or bad guy is. Let their actions speak for themselves. The readers are smart enough to figure it out.
PS Can't finish this blog without saying - You Rock, Taylor Swift! You are one smart, talented teenager! Congrats on all your awards, especially, Entertainer of the Year!!!
CMA Awards Tonight and Twitter
One of my favorite shows is on tonight - the CMA Awards. If you're a country music fan, you're probably like me and will be glued to the TV 8pm EST, or in my case 7pm, in the flatlands of Illinois.Almost all my favorite performers will be there, except I hear that Rascal Flatts can't make it.
I'll be on Twitter during the show also. That's part of the fun of it - discussing and dissecting outfits, performers, songs and even commercials, kind of like I'm at a giant party with people who all go for the same thing and want to share.
What about you? What kind of music do you like? Do you tweet during a favorite show or event?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

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.

It's a bit overwhelming all the stuff she puts on the computer the first time. I'll have to read a bit at a time.

PS Good to know someone reads my blog sometimes!
Sorry for the lengthy pause in between emails. I got hit with massive technical difficulties on my site and within my book. I have repaired all of that and I'm redy to send you a copy of my book. Could you please resend your email to me? It got lost in the frantic struggle to repair all that was wrong on my site. Stress levels were epic for a couple of weeks LOL.
I have been offered a chance to meet with a documentary filmmaker, too. That's an interesting story in development. I might get a film made about me!
Sorry again for the lag time.
Take care,
Ken

Thanks for getting in touch. I'd love to have my book reviewed by you. I hope you like women's fiction with romantic elements. The Dowry Bride is a bit different from most romances because it is set in a more conservative milieu and starts out with a rather dark scene.
Let me know where to send a copy and I'll be happy to mail it to you.
Thanks again for your interest in my book and for offering to review it for your on-line publication.
Regards,
Shobhan
Sure, I remember that! I have my copy of POTE right nearby. I will have to put the sequel on my wishlist at Amazon so I don't forget about it. I haven't had time to get to the first one. Too many books were in line before it. But I can't wait to get to it again. It almost made being stuck in the Saudi Arabian desert with nothing to do, pleasant!
No. 130 degree heat at 95% humidity was never pleasant but I dug that book! LOL
Take care,
Ken
