Hi daemonaac

I was reading a review of "Mistress of the Art of Death" and it sounds like something I might enjoy.
You are on my top "most similar" libraries and I see you have it marked as Read.
What did you think of it?

Hi

Just a quick note to let you know that my new novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available. Thought you might be interested since you're from NOLA. I was born and raised in New Orleans, and the novel is actually set there. Here's a summary in case you're interested:

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.

If you'd like to read the first chapter, you can read it here:

Take care,

Dear daemonaac, we have more in common than the system shows because I've only just arrived and haven't listed even a tithe of my library. I see that you are wanting to read *Echo Maker.* Move it up!!!! I have friends who can't tolerate Powers and whose opinion I respect, but I LOVED THIS BOOK! I'd really like to talk about identity questions with somebody who read and appreciated it!
