At 9:00pm on March 4, 2009, Chris Tusa said…: Hi,

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.

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

Thanks so much,
Chris

The difference between the Harris Mystery and other mysteries that you read about every day is that the Harris Mystery is REAL. Enjoy.

At 3:36pm on November 21, 2007, Paula Harpster said…: I just added a photo also, and if you can view it, you will see that we are also different species - but we can still pretend!

Yum. I am willing to try the new martini flavor. Sounds different.

At 3:31pm on November 21, 2007, Cheesehead said…: well, it all makes little sense now that I have a real pic posted! So much for the heiress theory...the only thing I stand to inherit is 2 more cats, half a motor home, and more little debbies and poptarts than will fit in my half of the former! (motor home - not the cats! Although one of them is quite a glutton.)

so glad to hear that you might make it to the beach in 08! I have a new recipe - lychee martinis! Very yum.

At 10:31am on November 15, 2007, Paula Harpster said…: We must have been separated at birth - I always knew I was adopted. Do you think we are heiresses? (did I spell this right?)

It is clear that good looks run in the family!

Can I be virtually real, or really virtual? Oh well, maybe not.
