Hi there I'm Young Heejin from Philippines. I just got to finish Evermore and it's really great. I love the meaning of the Red Tulips! Is it really true? Because I believe it is. I actually want to have one myself. I guess we all do. Anyway I can't believe I found you here and it's such a coincidence that I also am a member of Ning so I added you as a friend. If you don't mind. Bluemoon is next right? I'll buy it too when I found one.
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.

Thanks :-) I'll try Laguna Cove...the guys in the group are pretty open minded. Not to mention the fact that one of the girls told them "why are books about girls "girl books" and books about boys for everyone???" She has a point :-).
You're welcome :-) I'm really looking forward to reading it. Hey, I'm doing a Teen Book Club next semester with a group of students in my community and I'm wondering which of your novels you would think would appeal to boys and girls the most?
