- About Me:
- My first novel, Night Stalker, was also my first sale. "A dandy read," wrote author Tony Hillerman. It went into three printings and became the flagship for the sub-genre "Woman in Jeopardy" at Kensington Publishers—strong heroines pitted against evil opponents. Reviewers have said of my villains: [Night Prey] "Luce's portrayal of a psychopathic mountain man is chilling..." [Night Game] "The villain is evil personified." In addition to five published novels, my short story "Shattered Crystal" appeared in Alfred Hitchcock Magazine and Treadmill Tales (audio). E-reads Publications reprinted Night Passage in e-book format and POD. Nonfiction publications include two articles for Writer's Digest. One article, "Writing Suspense That'll Kill Your Readers," was reprinted in the 2002 The Complete Handbook of Novel Writing (Writer's Digest Books). A former senior editor for a small romantic press, I am currently working on a new thriller. I'm also a fiction instructor for Writer's Digest's WRITER'S ON LINE WORKSHOP. www.imagerystudios.com/carol

One More Time
I got the proof for Killer Career, and wouldn't you know it, I just had to find stuff that I wanted to fix. It'll cost me a bit more, but it's worth it not to be bugged about stuff I know is wrong. Okay, it's just little stuff, but little stuff sometimes means a lot.
So, a little more delay, a little more money, but hopefully all will end well. That's what matters.
It's no fun being a picky person. (G)

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.

Still, this book was a test to see if I could learn how to market. I think I am passing the test, but I'm not passing the sales test.
Glad your friend liked it. Tell more friends!
