30 books since 2012???? Is that a typo?
If correct, the author would have to have written one book every 60.8 days, give or take a day for Leap Year or something. -shakes head in bewilderment-

Lots of noodling couples and shirtless men, take that however you like.
Oh…I see. :/
My books average 80K words. When I’m on my game, I write 3-5K words per day. I can do five or six books a year, plus short stories. Granted, I write genre, not literary fiction, but I’ve written about 30 books and book-length short-story collections since 2011.
Non-fiction takes longer because footnotes and bibliographies slow me down a great deal.
Ugh…I write sci-fi and I’m doing well if I manage one book a year.
Don’t you ever burn out at such a pace?
