Chapter Twelve

I posted the first draft of chapter twelve last night. It was actually a fairly difficult chapter to work on since I now need to get into a different rhythm as the book draws to a close. Having had the luxury to take it slowly and develop characters it's a real change of pace to be working on action again...

I've got some ideas in my head for how to blend the two style a bit in chapter thirteen, and I may come back to chapter twelve (will come back to chapter twelve) with some major editing, since I can see its weaknesses...

Can't say much more than that on the blog - spoilers...

I'm pretty sure there are just two more chapters to go now - plus a prologue. The big remaining question for me is how chapter fourteen will end. I know what needs to happen but the closing paragraph will be crucial...
