first 20k words in next novel

The third novel of The Underworlds series is done and released, I’m getting into the fourth and maybe the final chapter of the series.

It will be a vastly different tale with a lot of things changing. Not all are ideas I had at first. I even got a new idea at 15.000 words in. An idea I really like that also fixed an issue I hadn’t got worked out in my thoughts. If it stays as I continue writing, that is
