Rose asked Diana Gardin:

You came out with three (?) books in 2015 - all quality works - how do you write/edit/publish them so quickly? How much time do you spending writing each day?

Diana Gardin Hi Rose! Um, that's a great question. The three books I came out with last year, EVER ALWAYS, FALLING DEEP, and LAST TRUE HERO were very high quality because I have a very high quality team around me in my publisher, Grand Central Publishing. It takes a village, no matter you're self-publishing or traditionally. I've done both. This year, I have a release in March (traditional) one in May (self-published-THE LILAC SKY), and one in July(traditional), and that's just what's on the slate so far!

It takes me about a month to draft a manuscript. And then it takes about another month (I can do it in two weeks if I'm on deadline) for beta readers to read it and give me critiques, and then for me to revise.

Thanks for checking in, I'm always happy to answer questions!
