Episode 50: My Quest to Write 50 Books

In this episode I talk about one of my major goals for the year: publishing 50 books (total) by the end of the year. I think I can do it.

I also talk about a project in the pipeline that’s uniquely up my alley…you’re going to laugh when you hear it.

I also talk about an update on The Good Necromancer series as well as how I’m preparing for law school classes this semester.
