How many words?

I'm short of time at the moment because I am reviewing all the books in the Price series (for links to the blogs go to top right of this page).



I started wondering just how many words I was going to have to read half way through my task. All toe words probably don't even amount to one of Dickens' novels. He wrote in episodes for a newspaper and people waited spellbound for his next episode. What a memory. What a brain. My little books are really very modest, but I've had fun writing them. I will enter the amounts in the link list, but here they are and all the amounts are what showed up on the WORD counter some after revision, some before.

01 Friends for Life                   160247
02 Finch's Folly                         87713
03 Barn Dance                          95803
04 Bell Tower Blues                  93525
05 Too Many Cooks                   72618
06 Kelly's Secret                       78589
07 The Beachhut Murders        113645
08 The Spiritual Murders           74747
09 The Revue Murders             109468
10 Murder to Go                       74926
11 The Choral Killings               78063
12 Pensioner's Party                  83081
13 Lucky 13                              60047
14 The Dream                          64425
15 The monks of Grumpsfield    58099

TOTAL (approx.)                  1 274 994

ALREADY out of date!!!
