Splintered Loyalties - 20% done

Splintered Loyalties is coming along nicely. This weekend I managed to trudge through a tough bout of writer's block (I'll revise that chapter again once I've gotten a few more chapters down). The opening chapters of a novel are generally the hardest for me to write straight through, since every question I answer presents two more, all of which need to circle back to the end of the novel. 

Anyway, I started off 2015 with Keevan and Bahjal's first fight (as a couple at least). It's easy to use the actions of the villain to increase the tension in  a story,  but this conflict was actually sparked by one of the rewards for the adventures of the previous book. A twist I didn't plan for, but settled into the story quite nicely.
