Jesse Phillips asked J.N. Chaney:

Thanks for your stories! How do you write so many books at once? When writing a book with another author how do you decide who has what role in the writing process?

J.N. Chaney Sorry for the delayed response. The answer is that each project is different and requires unique procedures to ensure the best book possible. Sometimes I am heavily involved in the writing, other times I am simply involved in editing. I try to figure out a good system with each cowriter that helps them feel fulfilled and also results in a great book. I write and edit every day, but I also have long collaborative phone calls where I discuss ideas with the other writers and work out problems that may arise. It is a very rewarding process.

While waiting for the next audio books for Ruins of the Galaxy and Exodus Ark, I decided to collect and read the paperbacks of Ruins of the Earth. As a writer who is also involved in a series, I'd like to know how much of the series ending you have planned out when you start the first book? And is the number of books in a series already set when you start? Thanks.

Dustin Goeke asked J.N. Chaney:

I'm fairly certain I own almost every (audio)book you've touched. As an Army Veteran I appreciate the details you tend to place in your books. But one thing has always nagged at me. How on earth do you manage to find the time to write all the books you do?!
