I've essentially exhausted my usual beta, though he's been a rousing good sport about it over the years. 
So, I'm looking to torture someone else. I have a completed MSS that I've already sent on the query trail, but the word count (155K) is probably killing me quicker than my desultory prose.
The product involves vampires, military containment teams, some occult, and that inveterate star location of darkness, sunny Los Angeles. (Alas, Paris Hilton does not make an appearance.) I'm not really looking for line editing at this point, but am certainly looking for someone who might be able to tell me what to hack out. And oh yeah, maybe clue me in if the story is worth reading.
I'll happily beta in reverse, obviously. I can be quick about it, schedule permitting.
Thanks in advance...
