How many Dopers are published novelists?

[Surly Chick]

This thread got me wondering - how many posters here are published novelists? I know loads of us have had reference books, biographies, papers and such published but I'm interested in novelists and also how prolific you are. My search fu blows so sorry if this has been done before.

Mods, I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in IMHO. Feel free to move as appropriate.

I am. One (or two, if you count e-books) novel and around 40 short stories in pro markets.

Zuzu’s Petals writes YA novels. I read and enjoyed several of them.

I would like to read some other Doper-written novels if I could find them.

JFTR, you left out non-fiction books there (which aren't reference books or papers). And the only reason I point that out is that, of course, that I've published one. But not, sadly, any novels. Although it's not for lack of trying.

Our very own Eve, of course, who has written numerous biographies on silent screen stars.

Again, though, not a novelist. AFAIK, none of Eve's output was fiction.

Cal, you were actually the person I was thinking of when I wrote that so I don't know how I left non-fiction off!

I have two books -- one contemporary romance (published in 2002) and one romantic suspense novel, the latter of which was released in January of this year. On request from the publisher, I've revamped it for a teen/young adult audience and the new version will be my third novel when it's released later this month.

(I've also self-published an online serial for twelve years, but you probably don't count that!)

Paging pepperlandgirl! She's a successful romance novelist, I believe.

Is that a euphemism for "you need to add vampires"?

LOL! Well, it already has a werewolf in it, so none of that was necessary.

I have one fantasy novel published, and a second in the works.

You were one that I thought of reading the OP. I actually found Staroamer's Fate in our library used book sale a couple of weeks ago and bought it. I haven't read it yet, but it's in the queue.

I self-published a novel through Amazon, and also released it as a free serialized podcast (31 episodes). Partway through the second novel, and I also have a historical detection series in the planning stages.
