Lynnette Smith asked Cheryl Bolen:

What do you think is the average amount of time you have to spend on research for each book?

Cheryl Bolen My answer may surprise you, Lynnette. After writing 33 historical romances and probably a hundred articles on English historical topics, I rarely have to research anymore. That is because I've spent more than twenty years educating myself about a narrow period in English history and have an extensive library of research books. Added to this, I've been to England on about a dozen trips, some of these for several weeks at a time.
