At 9:30pm on March 8, 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

Switching Gears

Personal circimstances have forced me to switch gears in my writing. From novels only, I've been doing some short stories, first for our local chapter's mystery anthology and then for myself, to keep my writing muscles flexing while I deal with real life.

It's been nice to feel like I'm doing something, but also brings a certain level of anxiety along with it, too. What if I can't make the transition back to novels?

I know, it's paranoid. I've written eight novels from beginning to end, but I… Continue

My eighth novel, THE KEY is now available on amazon and at the discounted price! And I'm doing a giveaway. My sister made me these really cool bookmarks for the launch (that you can see here: http://www.paulinebjones.com/contests.htm and there are more on the way.) So, buy THE KEY, send me proof of purchase and I'll send one to the first responders until they are gone. :-)

My First Blog

Every time I log on here, I see a reminder I haven't added even one blog, so thought I'd better do that, if only to get rid of the reminder!

I'm an author, but I'm also an avid reader. I used to read more, when I wasn't writing, but I still browse for books when I'm between manuscripts. Or I dive back into my old favorites pile and browse and remember why I still love those books!

I'm a fairly eclectic reader. Right now I'm reading Colin's Conquest by Lisa Rene Smith.… Continue
