Most prolific author?

Shade

A friend and I were debating who is the most prolific Tarot author. If you count LWB companion books (and I do) I think that's Barbara Moore. Am I forgetting someone else? Is there a comprehensive list of the LWBs she has written? I checked Goodreads and I didn't see a number of them that I know she wrote (Dream Enchantress, Pagans Cats, Shadowscapes, etc).

I have a large enough sampling of books (although I don't track LWBs in my books database, but I do in my decks database) that I could probably give a reasonably accurate answer. But I have neither the time nor the inclination right now, so off the top of my head, including LWBs, I would say that Barbara Moore is definitely in the Top 5, probably in the Top 3 and quite possibly #1.

Ok so just based on Goodreads, their sites, and a little memory I came up with the below for the four authors I most think of as especially prolific. Am I missing anything?

Hi

For reference, Marcus has also written and/or significantly co-authored:

A New Dawn for Tarot: The Original Tarot of the Golden Dawn
Abiding in the Sanctuary: The Waite-Trinick Tarot
After the Angel (contains Tarot readings)
The Alchemy Workbook (not Tarot)
The Magister Vol 0 (the first of 11 volumes, including Tarot as an illustration of the initiatory system)
Tarot Inspire
Tarot Twist

There are 12 small books in the Tarot Life series, which we co-authored and further titles in the Gated Spread books, in addition to Tarot Shaman, including:

The Resurrection Engine
The Ghost Train
The Gates of Valentine
The Palace of the Phoenix
The Tarot Temple (Dream Work and the Tarot)
The Garden of Creation

We have forthcoming full books (80,000 words or more) "Tarot Edge", "Tarot & Kabbalah", "NLP Magick", "Secrets of the Thoth Tarot" and several other titles in the coming months, as we catch up from the couple of years research work for "Secrets of the Waite-Smith Tarot".

Does co-authoring "count" :p

We've also just finished writing the LWB's for a few oracle decks and have got a concise Lenormand kit coming out soon, "Easy Lenormand".

As Marcus is wont to say, "the worker is hidden in the workshop" :)

Is it only quantity you're thinking of, Shade?
She asked.
Arching her eyebrows pointedly.

I took a look at Lon Milo Duquette's bibliography, but most of his 33 books (authored and co-authored, though it looks like he's also taking credit for introductory statements he's made for others books) are about magic, not exclusively tarot.

I'm looking for raw output here. Cold, hard numbers ;-)
