About the Author

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

Running Word Count

REPORTING September 1st, 2025

Total is from January 1st to August 31st…

654,090 words.

August turned out to be a great month a I hoped it would, but again not so much for words. I gained a little back on Pulp Speed One word count, but still slightly under. About 12,000 under or so for the Pulp One pace. Easy to catch up.
