In the Hopper -- June 2008

I did pretty well last month with reading what I'd planned... I'm the planner sort of person; I work best with a deadline, which is why the library works really well with me. On the other hand, reading books I own... not so much. Which is why Wilkie Collins is still on my TBR pile. :)

For Fun:
The Host, Stepehenie Meyer (though I may put this off)
Ever, Gail Carson Levine
The Mysterious Edge of the Heroic World, e.l. konigsburg
Woman in White, Wilkie Collins
The Fall ofContinue

Hi,

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 mention it on your blog (or review it). 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.

If you'd like to read the first chapter before you commit, feel free to visit my web site:

Thanks so much,
Chris
