Her first book I Win You Lose took her all of two months to write and it took her that long because she lost both her grandmothers one right behind each other and she was totally stressed out and her focus wasn't on writing at the time. With her second novel, My Man My Abuser took her longer to write to due to she kept stopping because she was getting emotional on some of the scenes her character was going through. After she completed her manuscript, she then give it to a couple of test readers to get their input on it, then she'll send it to her editor for her to do her part. Once she gets it back, she make her corrections, do a final edit and then she'll leave it alone for about a week or so.
