A few fun numbers

In the last 4 years, I have produced:
17 stories for anthologies. 5 of them with Naomi.
Only one of these has not yet come out. 2 are out of print.

20 short stories between 3000 and 20000 words. 11 of these are with Naomi.
16 are out. 2 are out of print.
One is not yet subbed, one is subbed. One is in edits. One is awaiting a Dec 24 release.

7 novels, 5 with Naomi.
Three of the novels have not been subbed yet. All of them need more work.
One of them is in edits.
One is submitted.
Two are out.

That's some serious words.
