About meI worked as a Branch Manager of a mid-size public library in a 13-branch system in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. I retired in March after 29 years and am doing some scribbling in the hopes of being published someday, mainly mystery short stories. I received a master's degree in English from McNeese S.U. in 2004, and now audit classes there from time to time since senior citizens can attend free.
About my libraryI have hundreds of books in bookcases scattered all over my house and in closets. My prized ones are the leather- bound ones from Easton Press, the slip-cased ones from Folio, and the signed editions from various authors I've been privileged to meet. I'm in Library Thing to find out exactly how many I have. It's going to take a while.

My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans/Baton Rouge. 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 the fictional town of Jupiter, Louisiana, 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
