- About Me:
- I am a student at Michigan State University who is about to graduate with a degree in human physiology. I will be attending pharmacy school in the fall, eventually hoping to work in a hospital and university concurrently. I have always deeply enjoyed more artistic aspects of life, despite my scientific career focus, and I am looking to expand my writing skills and interests. Eventually (very long-term), I hope to write a publishable novel. For now, I am looking to develop my skills by writing and critiquing short stories.

- To just name a few: Milan Kundera, J.M. Coetzee, Kurt Vonnegut, Fyodor Dostoevsky

Monica
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 here or on Amazon.com ( or on some of the other book-related 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.
