Christine is a writer, poet, blogger, single mom, home schooler, small business owner, and avid reader!
As a writer I am just beginning to write my first non-fiction book, which will be about me and how I continued to homeschool my sons even after I got divorced.
My poetry is usually dark and about loving the wrong people (mostly written after aforementioned divorce) or about my spiritual awakening.
As a blogger I have many websites that are extremely varied. Covering subjects such as
weight loss,
homeschooling,
alternative spirituality, and being a
Work at Home Mom.
I have homeschooled my two teen sons from the very beginning. They have never been to a traditional school, but they have had many social opportunities through out the years to make friends both at home and with other home schoolers. They have grown to be wonderful, intelligent young men that I am very proud of.
My small business is in the Transportation Industry. I purchase permits for oversized truck loads through out the entire United States and parts of Canada. I fell into this business through a friend about 8 years ago, and started my own company in July of 2008. It's been an amazing experience, and although we're still very small, we're growing and making enough money to support us!
Finally I am an avid reader of all books great and small. I read classics, fantasy, sci-fi, self help, psychological, thrillers, mysteries, romance, DIY, and everything in between! I also have been able to instill this love of reading to my sons.

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. My debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is being released from the University of West Alabama on March 1st, and is now available for pre-order from Amazon.com. I am writing because I was hoping you might be willing to mention it on your blog (or consider it for review). 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.
