Novel vs Novella Vs Novelette

Ever wonder how many words it takes to make a "book"? The consensus seems to be 55,000 is the minimum. Much less than that and it's a novella. Even fewer words and it's a novelette. If you can’t get past 7,500 words, you've got a short story.

I'm happy to say that I just passed the 60,000 word mark with Endangered Species, my second novel in the Sleeping Dogs trilogy. My Muse is working overtime!
