Tj asked Heidi Cullinan:

Love your work. How long does it usually take you to complete a book?

Heidi Cullinan Thank you for your kind words about my work. As far as how long to complete a novel? Oh, it depends. Bare minimum three months, sometimes as much as a year. Often I start concepts months before I actually put down words, especially in series books. Because I sell so much on spec, it's not uncommon for me to write the first third of a book, sell it, then table it until the deadline is closer. Part of my problem is I write such long books. Not only does that take longer, but they're more complicated so there's a lot of time spent making sure everything makes sense.
