Genre: Urban Fantasy for adults
There are no vampires, werewolves, or zombies -- I know, what else is left...a few things. It's in first person (woman), past tense. It takes place (for the most part) in a New England seaside village. The book has been revised and looked over several times, so hopefully the majority of mechanical errors have been purged.
Word Count: 64K – short I know, I'm hoping the feedback might help me see where I can expand.
Feedback: I'm looking for feedback about characters (do they work, are they likeable, are they logical, are they consistent). Does the plot have holes? Is it hard to follow? Are there weak or underdeveloped area? Are they places where I drone on? How's the pacing? That kind of stuff.
I'm also open to the little things (I'm needy) like grammar, awkward sentence, sucky dialog, did I glom onto some word and use it over and over?
I'd also like to know if something stood out as done well as this always takes the sting out of the other stuff.

PM me for a sample. Indicate how much you'd like to see (1000/2000 words, a chapter). I have no problems if after you read it you decide it's not for you. No need to give a reason – maybe you cringe at reading about seaside villages or have an aversion to the fall.--We all have out things. ;)
I have posted a link in my sig to some flash fiction pieces I've written, if you want to check me out first.
If I left anything out, just ask. I've wanted to post this for a week or two, but kept chickening out. But I can't move forward without new eyeballs looking it over.
*I have nothing against vamps, w-wolves, and Z's. They are just not in this book.
