I'm taking part in The Blog Improvement Project to try and work on my new blog. Is anyone else playing along? How are you getting on and have you developed a regular feature a la week two?
First of all I have to apologize for my belated reply! I have not checked my profile page for about two months so your request to be added in my directory has gone unnoticed until now. I am really sorry for that and I have added you the very first moment I had the chance (a.k.a. a few minutes ago)
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.

I just joined Book Blogs. I've had three new releases in the last couple months and would love to be featured on some book/readers blogs. Will hold a contest for free book give-away.
