- About Me:
- I write short stories. My short stories evolve from the messy engagements of personal and social relations and from the contemporary conditions, which shape them.
Though the characters and situations in these short stories are drawn from everyday life, happening in instantly recognizable places, they are capable to spring surprises even for those who are familiar with Indian life and culture.

DISGRACE : A Novel By J M Coetzee
--REVIEWED By NAVAL LANGA
I tend to resist invitations to interpret my own fiction. ---J. M. Coetzee
If you have deep love for extra beautiful literature, and if you have enough room for reading a novel twice, at least, then J M Coetzee has lot of things to offer. The winner of Nobel Prize in literature in the year 2003, J M Coetzee is a man of his own class, an engineer with his own set of tools. His novels are thick with real world and human miseries, at least up to the date he penned ‘Disgr… Continue

A TALE OF TWO CITIES : REVIEWED by NAVAL LANGA
It is quite difficult to write about the novels written by Charles Dickens, as you have to be one among the thousands of people who have done the job earlier. But I am so fascinated by the charm and attraction I felt while reading ‘A Tale Of Two Cities’ that I could not do without putting my efforts to show how I felt while reading this master piece.

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.

Thanks for adding me as a friend. I always write in an easy-to-read fashion. Most people (inclucing myself) are not college educated so we don't fancy $10 words!!
Warm Regards,
Carol
