Again, my thanks for the posts.

The length issue is one I hadn't considered in depth, figuring that the bigger the better without giving any thought to it being too big. Last night I took a look at where the story was at around the 165,000 word mark and - lo and behold! - there is a natural cliff-hanger. Everything that follows could fit quite neatly into Book 2 with only a little bit of adjustment.

This also means that I find I've completed a significant chunk of Book 2 without even realising I was doing it, giving me a good launch into getting started on the next act of the plot.

Much appreciated all.
