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 went to college in Santiago de Compostela (in Galicia) and in Madrid. Then like Andrea, the protagonist of Two Moon Princess went to UC Davis in California.
So you can say that Two Moon Princess is my story.
I grew up in Spain. But I have been leaving in Pennsylvania for over 16 years now.
My friends and family are still there.
I am from Northwestern Spain (North of Portugal).
It is a beautiful area more similar to Ireland than to southern Spain.
Historically we also have celtic roots (although the experts do not agree in this one).
Most of the pictures were taken last July during a Roman reenactment.
The Romans founded Lugo, the city where I grew up over two thousands years ago. And we still have a complete Roman wall around the city.
The festival was great fun. Most people were dressed as Romans.
Maybe you can visit next year.
Both the pictures on my website and the ones in my profile are from Galicia (Spain) where I am from.
You can check Two Moon Princess if you like romance and fantasy.
You can read some reviews in TeensReadToo, Amazon or Goodreads.
Let me know what you think if you read it.
