“I am definitely not one of those 9-5ers that writes every day. I tend to write my books in my head as I am researching them. Once I know the research is complete (or as close as I can get to being completed) and the interviews have all been conducted, only then do I sit down to type out the manuscript. And, since I am a three-finger typist, I liken the actual writing process to Chinese water torture. As a result, I tend to finish my books rather quickly — usually over a 2-3 month period.”
