You want to look in the library:

Not everyone's book is there, but it is a good starting point.

Books written: 1 complete, 2 more near complete
Books published: 0
Granted, I think I might have to send out a query or two before I get published, but I'm still hoping for an agent to bust down my front door on a white steed claiming that there is no need for me to write a query or synopsis. ;)

I've written about five books (it depends on how you count). I've only seriously tried to publish one, which I am querying now. I am currently writing #6, I guess.

five novellas, fourteen short stories and the first novel in my fantasy series comes out in ...oh....THREE days.
But, I'm not excited. No really. ;)

Written and published? Fewer than zero, and getting fewer every day.

I've got my name on two books. Alas, neither are novels, nor did they require a lot of writing. One was a school diary for the W.I.T.C.H brand, the other was a book published to celebrate the 80 year anniversary of Winnie-the-Pooh last year. You'll also find my name in 5-6 other books, but only as the translator. Having my own novel published is still just happening in my daydreams.

I currently have completed 17, and am working on four more. 8 are self-published and actually made me some money
In my Chris Gallagher Series (mystery/police procedural), I have Eyes, Sugar & Spice, Teddy Bears Picnic, and Lies in the Rough,
In the Cabochon Series (mystery/adventure), I have Cabochon and Green Gold
I have two stand-alone's also published, Celtic Lament and Armpit, Alberta
Unpublished and either being edited or out on submission: Meadowlarks and Mourning Doves (stand-alone and being totally rewritten from scratch), Irreparable Damages, The Hanging Judge, Changing Partners, Mouths of Babes, and Angelface (all Chris Gallagher Mysteries), Pigeon Blood Red and Baffin Blues (Cabochon Adventures), Bhisti, and Victoria Seacress (full requested -- keeping my fingers and toes crossed).

None of my books are on shelves yet, but I've sold four: Evernight, Stargazer, Hourglass and Afterlife. They're a series. I've completed the first book and am very close to completing the second; the last two are outlined but still unwritten. I'll write Hourglass this winter and Afterlife about a year from now. How many of those you'd consider "published" at this stage -- your guess is as good as mine.

Ha, I'm with him in the publishing department.
I've written 6 novels, ranging from 100k-280k in word count, but I've only subbed two, and uh, obviously that didn't work out so well.

Oh, I forgot, I have one nonfiction guidebook published. That's not really a novel, but it's printed and it's on shelves. You'd think I would be thrilled, but... meh. :)

In my mind? Thousands.
In reality? ZERO

Written? Umm... eight, I think. Mostly YA. None published yet but the first is coming out this fall and four more are under contract with the same publisher.

Two, both historical fiction: Men of Bronze (set in 26th dynasty Egypt) and Memnon (set in 4th century Greece/Asia Minor). I have four others under contract (a historical fantasy trilogy and a stand-alone that is yet-to-be-determined).

Um, 15 novels. 1 of which is unpublished, though it was a finalist in a contest sponsored by HQN. All small to middle size presses.

That is, zero, naught, nil, none. It just SOUNDS better in my Alfie's native tongue, Icelandic. XD
I'm mid-way or less through my first full-length novel, though. But it may not be the one I publish first. It's looking a tad long. But never know! ;)|xX

Mine are here.

Three more will be coming in 2008 and at least two more in 2009.
Doesn't really mean a whole lot though as book stores are big and have room for everybody.
