Just hi

Just stopping by to say hi.  I love the book I recently finished. I love everything about it - the hero, the heroine, the setting - everything. Hated to see the book end. Of course, I have to read through it again before it's ready for publication, but I can't wait to get this one out there. No title yet.

It starts like this:

        Demetri stood atop the roof of the old manor house he called home. Located in the small village of Woodridge Township, it stood at the peak of a high plateau, overlooking the small seaside town below. All looked peaceful in the light of the midnight moon, but with his preternatural vision, he could see the footpads haunting the dark streets, the night guards patrolling the wealthier part of town, the drunks huddled in the alleys, bottles clutched like lovers to their chests, the light skirts plying their age-old trade along the wharf.

He frowned when he saw a young woman creeping down one of the back streets. She stopped frequently to glance over her shoulder. He rarely involved himself in mortal affairs, but he found himself wondering who she was running from, and why.

He leaned forward as a man wearing a black mask stepped out of the shadows and trailed the woman. The stalker caught up with the woman a block later. Catching her around the throat, he slammed her up against the side of a building.

Moonlight glinted off the knife in his hand.
