About the Author

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over 200 novels and hundreds of short stories.

Running Word Count

REPORTING December 1st, 2025

Total is from January 1st to November 30th…

892,610 words.

Caught up a little in November, but still need a really good month to hit full Pulp Speed, but I will be close.

By the way, if you are working on averaging 2,025 words per day in 2025, by December 1st you would need to be at 676,336 and to hit it for a full year you need to be at 739,125 words for the year.

Yes, we will do 2,026 words per day challenge in 2026. Stay tuned.
