About the Author

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

Running Word Count

REPORTING January 1st, 2026

Total is from January 1st to December 31st…

991, 500 words.

Well, just barely under Pulp Speed One. I needed to write 164 more words per week to hit it. So considering the year, I am pretty happy with getting that close.

This is my last update and after a time this will vanish since I am not doing any challenges with anyone this year. Got a different form of challenge going.

Yes, we do have the 2,026 words per day challenge in 2026. Sign up soon. Those beautiful trophys are way cool.
