My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. My debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available for pre-order from Amazon.com, and I am writing because I was hoping you might be willing to read it and post your thoughts on Amazon.com (or some of the other book review sites). If you're interested, I'd be more than willing to send you an e-book version by e-mail. 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.

I was out of town myself for a while. I have a little place about 2 hours north of my home. A friend of mine lives next door to my place and we spend some long weekends watching movies, having long discussions and generally relaxing. I bought the land from my friend a couple of years ago and put up a "women's retreat" I often take other friends with me. My place is always open to any of my friends who may need a place to "get away".
Life gets busy, cyber space takes time :>)

I met Mr Burke at an author reading. He is so like his main character. Have you by any chance, read his daughter's novels ? I haven't and I've not talked to anyone who has. I just wonder if she is as talented as her dad.
I do agree with you, nobody writes Louisiana like Burke :>))
Just joined this site. Don't see a lot of activity but.....
I see that you are a fan of James Lee Burke. I love his novels....one of the greatest mystery writers !
