The Face of A Lion - update

Here's where the book stands:
First draft 99% complete. About five scenes needing to be finalised, plus the very end.
First two chapters entirely rewritten and now c. 1000 words less.
I need to check for continuity of dates, references, etc.
Confirm all the historical references.
Ask for adivce on things I did not know I needed advice on - e.g. what snakes feel like.
Reread/edit for language, theme, story arc, etc.
Reread.
Query.
Perhaps by the summer...
