It sounds like you've actually made considerable progress! Your decision seems a wise one -- I know how easy it is to get embroiled in detailed research that doesn't end up forwarding the story -- and the idea sounds intriguing. Looking forward to reading!
I really don't want to write a primarily historical novel
Me neither. I don't think I could write an historical novel. The Procrastination Monster is hard enough for me to battle when just working out the plot ... if I had the excuse of working out every tiny detail in my world, I'd never get beyond the first sentence. ;)
