She has no idea how she ever gets a book written, but nevertheless, she’s written forty-something of them so far, and may be closing in on the number fifty, but she doesn’t know and has no time to count them. She does know that number 25, Dream Man, was the first to hit the New York Times List, and every book since then has also made the list.
