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

Just saying hi! Haven't heard from you on the A/AA lit group. You didn't forget about us, did you? :)

Thanks for the friend request! Happy to connect. I appreciate your linking the Africa reading challenge on your book blog, but unfortunately, I can't reciprocate as I don't really blog on books. Time and all those excuses. But I've subscribed to the RSS feed of your blog, so I'll check in when I can.
Cheers!

Saw your post. Have I sent you a copy of my book, Dirty Little Angels already? Let m,e know, If not, I will.

Noticed you liked The Bluest Eye, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also southern and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:
