Savage Instinct is a tome and a half at 161,000 words and is still not finished. I started it in 2019 when I was writing a "how to write book with pics". I used this book as a guide for my writing process to offer real information. Step by step. I was 50,000 words in when I went to Australia on holiday and for my sister's wedding. The "How to Write a Book with Pics" sells well. Then I wrote two thrillers that didn't rank much, or I'm just not told. Who knows? I know of several sales in Japan and a few in the US.

Anyway, fuck that publisher. I signed a new contract, and they bought When the Walls Fail and they have the first option of Savage Instinct. I'm in two minds on whether to split the book into two or publish like King.

Anyway, the three storylines are converging now. I figure another 10-20,000 words, and then cutting and editing, then the publisher, and then I write another book.
