33,000 words ...

And the king is dead! So now the actual plot, the mystery aspect of who killed the king, comes into play.

So far things have gone well, if strange. The comedy aspect has been less than I'd have hoped, but the first scene that came to me for the novel did work, and was comedy, so I'm happy with *that* at least. Groundwork has been laid for a sequel, which is the first time I've ever done that. Both will stand on their own, of course, and I don't see going past two books, but at this point the second novel seems a sure bet, even if it will be a thriller rather than a mystery.

Now all I have to do is get the MC to actually start speaking to people, and things will be good.
