“It’s raining again … Isn’t that a line form a song? I’m sure it is, but the fact is, as nice as it was yesterday, with a high of 17 C, it’s down to 5 C and raining again. Makes it hard to find joy in going out for a walk, but, hey, I’m not the Wicked Witch of the West. I may not melt. We’ll just have to see.
Today’s blog challenge letter is K. I’ll admit I struggled with this letter as it applies to my writing and was torn between killer instinct and kids–children, not baby goats.
I opted to go with both, and you’ll see why in a second. Killer instinct is defined as an aggressive, tenacious urge for domination in a struggle to attain a set goal. In some ways, I possess a killer instinct when it comes to my work. I’m determined to the point of obsession to provide the best possible story for my readers. I weight each word, each scene carefully to make sure it provides the visual impact I want for my readers. This is especially true as it related to my suspense novels and The Harvester Files series.
Each book’s focus is on finding a serial killer. In the first three, there are children missing, children who must be found, and our heroes and heroines will stop at nothing to kind them. Their killer instincts are focused on putting an end to a vicious cult leader and his evil plans, recovering the missing children, and finding love amid horror. In the fourth book, the newest one in the series, while the hero and heroine are as focused as before and once again there are children missing, this time, they also need to find and stop the original cult leader’s son, as insane as his father was, and even more dangerous, as he seeks to finish what his father started.
Killer instinct is more than a kill or be killed mentality. It’s an inborn need to see things through to the end, no matter what, and the only logical conclusion for anyone is success. You can find all the books in the Harvester Files series on my websitehttps://mhsusannematthews.ca/
That’s it for today. Do you have a killer instinct?

Living the Dream 
your books seem very interesting, but I have such a hard time reading now. I lose track of what I’ve read as my mind wanders to what I want to knit or write. Then I give up on finishing the book. Kudo’s to you on you writing your books.

Thanks. I find my mind wanders too, especially when I have too many things on the go at once. Multitasking is the bane of my existence. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
