Conjure Man Status Report

I am now at 60,000 words of the first draft of "Conjure Man," my contemporary fantasy.
For some perspective, the word count for traditional paperback novels hovers at around 80,000 words. "Murder on the Orient Express" is 66,000; "The Hobbit" is 95,000 (although it feels like less); and "Fahrenheit 451" is only 46,118. More contemporary novels (especially bestsellers) tend toward length.
Anyway, I'm basically halfway through.My protagonist has discovered that there's a terrible secret, but he doesn't quite know what it is, yet.He's about to meet someone who might clear it up, if he weren't lost to booze and madness, adrift on a mega-yacht in the Mediterranean.There's also a question game involving demons and terrible penalties.And magical party drugs.
So...You know...

Fun.
