James Reasoner Reaches a Milestone
Rough Edges: #200:
"Today I wrapped up my 200th book, which happened to be a house-name Western, like #100 (although in a different series from that earlier milestone). When I started out in this business, I didn't know how many books I'd be able to write, of course, let alone how many I could sell. I thought fifty would be a lot. That goal got revised upward to 100, then 150. Now I don't really worry about things like that anymore. I'm just going to write until I can't anymore."
I've been in awe of James' writing abilities since I first started corresponding with him more than a quarter of a century ago.
Keep on truckin', James. I hope you write 500 novels. Or 1000.
