Q: How long did it take you to write the book?

Diana: About a year.

Q: What kind of research did you do, and how long did you spend researching before beginning the book?

We also did extensive prep research and continued to research throughout the writing and interviewed many, many experts in the field to check our assumptions and ensure comprehensive coverage.

Diana: Time management! There are never enough hours in the day. We lost a lot of sleep.
