How long does it take you and your sister to write a book? Is it hard writing in lockdown?

Hi there!
It has been hard writing in lockdown, particularly at the beginning. Stress and anxiety don't help creativity. Neither (if you're not used to it) does having to home-school children! But we got through it and met all our A Crown Of Talons deadlines. :)
As to how long each book takes, it depends a lot on the book and on what else is going on, but a rough estimate would be 6 months, give or take, for a completed first draft that's in a good enough state to send to our editor.
All best,
Kate & Liz
