As with The Ghost Writer, it involves (and requires) on-going, countless hours of exploring historical details, maps, and societal conventions of various time periods (remember the time travel element).
Seemingly insignificant details need to be accurate, like the varieties of trees in England, tableware manufacturers (and patterns) in the 1800s, and train and ferry schedules.
Traveling to the setting of a story is an added bonus and adds another dimensional layer to the on-going narrative. It also (hopefully) conveys a solid, believable sense of place and setting through personal experience and observation.
As the series unfolds, enjoy story-related blogs with background information and interesting research bits that may/may not end up in the finished version of the book.
