Marlene Matta asked Christine Feehan:

Hello Christine, I love your Dark series and got to wondering-- When you’re creating an extensive world like the Carpathians in your Dark series, research is a given—every author knows it’s necessary. But how do you decide when enough research has been done to back the lore you’re building fully? Do you ever reach a point where the questions stop, or is it always ongoing even after your world and lore feel established

Christine Feehan I don't think the questions or interest in the research stops but I do have to put on the brakes after a while. I love the research and can go down a rabbit hole on some subjects. LOL
I might do days of research and only one sentence, scene or paragraph will reflect that. You don't want to overload readers with information just because it's facinating though it can be very tempting.
Great question!
