Not sure if you remember me or not, but you reviewed my novel, Dirty Little Angels, a while back. I'm writing because I'm almost done with my new novel, In the Valley of Falling Stars, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in taking a look at it and giving me your opinion. I can send you a complete summary, but it's essentially about a mentally-ill man living in post-Katrina New Orleans who becomes convinced that his wife is pregnant with Jesus Christ. The book is still in process, but the entire book is sketched out, and I currently have eight chapters that I feel are done. If you're too busy, I understand. Just thought I'd ask.
Hope you're doing well,
Chris

My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans/Baton Rouge (I actually teach in the English Department at LSU). Anyway, I noticed your profile, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to read a novel I just completed. The manuscript is currently being circulated among some of the larger NY publishers, and my agent wants to get opinions from a few readers. Let me know if you'd be willing to read the manuscript and give us your opinions. Of course, if you're too busy, I'll understand. Just thought I'd ask:) I’ve included a summary below that we plan to include on the book jacket:
Dirty Little Angels
Set in New Orleans, 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’ 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’ 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 so much,
Chris Tusa
