Jane Davis asked Jane Davis:

What would be your ideal environment and time schedule for writing your next book?

Jane Davis I have only ever written at my dining room table, which is definitely not an ideal environment - I don’t live alone and it is the highway to the kitchen and the bathroom! However, Stephen King describes in his book “On Writing” about how he used to write at a small desk under the eaves, and it wasn’t until he had his first office that he first suffered from writers’ block. So if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. In terms of schedule, I used to say that I aimed to produce a book a year every year, but the need to pay the bills and helping to care for my father while he suffered from dementia have meant that my schedule has slipped. For my last couple of books there have been two years between release dates. Of course, not all of that time is writing...
