I posted the following question.
Personally I think that being an editor working with Diana during the Final Frenzy stage of finishing a book must be quite nerve-wracking. Diana has described that stage as "mainlining rocket fuel", "holding the ends of a high-voltage cable", etc. What is it like from your end?
We'll see if it gets an answer.
Diana has said that she edits each chapter as she writes and then fits all the pieces together. What types of things did you change when you went through The Scottish Prisoner and Written in My Own Heart’s Blood?
