p.s. Let me know when you post it. I'm going to adapt this topic for the column I write Sunday for the Sun's book page, and will post about it again then, so I can note your blog and any comments you get. Dave

Thanks for noting it on your blog. I can't believe you intimidated the store manager! Good for you. Here's the link to the Read Street post, which is a little longer than the one on Book Blogs: http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/books/blog/2009/03/is_spelling_ded.html

Hi,

My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. My debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available, and I was hoping you might be willing to mention it on your blog (or consider it for review). If you'd like to review the book, I'd be glad to send you a copy (in e-book format). 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:

Because I grew up in Connecticut, I'm all too familiar with the NJ Turnpike -- and the interminable holiday backups. Good luck on your holiday trip. Dave

Dawn, thanks for offering to note the map on your blog. If you don't mind, hold off for a couple of weeks. I'm getting ready to visit my daughter in France, where she's spending a semester, and I plan to create a new and imprved international edition. I'll be sure to let you know when it's ready.
Best,
Dave

Welcome. I've enjoyed reading your blog since I started one in May for the Baltimore Sun.
