I just began reading your books a few months ago,please don't hate me truth be told I didn't hear about you until I found your book four months ago, but If I may ask, How long did you have to work, plan and think about the plot of your books? it is really quite amazing. Loved your Blood of Gods book.
David Dalglish
Not sure why I'd hate you for only recently discovering me, so yeah, don't worry about that ;-)
It's a little hard to answer how long it takes me to plot a book. Even as I'm writing one book, I usually have the next up on the work queue bouncing around in my head, forming the bones of the plot. So, when it comes to just sitting down and officially plotting out a new novel, it generally only takes me a few hours at most.
Of course, that's just the basic outline. I'll tweak and rearrange constantly, adding in new things and stripping other things out over the next few months. So to answer your question: about two days to four months.

Just finished the Breaking World series. I can't WAIT to dive into your other works. I saw the whole thing play out in my head with vivid detail. Portions of the book were visceral, and my excitement was elevated throughout the entire series. Great job to the both of you for your phenomenal creation and portraying it so effectively to your readers. My apologies if already asked, any talks of possible movie trilogy?
