Martha McGehee asked Leanda de Lisle:

I am devouring your books. Thank you for your beautifully researched and fascinating narratives. Could you tell me more about your research process? Do you visit libraries and archives? Do you speak to experts? Do you read manuscripts and, if so, where? I am interested to know more about the process of preparing research for a book. Thank you for being willing to discuss topics with your readers.

Nate
Nate asked Leanda de Lisle:

The bibliography in the Sisters Who Would Be Queen was one of the longest I have seen in a history book. How do you find so many sources for your books? Do you use other books' bibliographies? Are some of them recommended to you?
