Hybrid - Shaun Hutson ... to be SO rich it would be obscene. And he IS a success - but there is a price to pay. Nothing lasts forever. As his writing ability begins to decline and publishers reject his books, he starts to drink. Sleeping badly, pacing around day and night, he gets a breakthrough. But is it? Pages of a novel pour out every night from the computer he's sure he's turned off and he doesn't remmber doing the writing.

“Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long.” Christopher Wards` career was in freefall, once a brilliant writer with more money and woman than he knew what to do with he now found himself without a publisher due to poor sales of his previous two books.
