Not, obviously, if you mean literally every detail. I had the high points in mind when I wrote Magician, and some sense of where I wanted to go with the Great Uprising. Originally Silverthorn and Darkness were going to be one book, but my publisher decided he wanted two.
Anyway, I usually know a couple of "high points" along the way, but in the main when I start a novel, I only know where it's going to end, and I find out things along the way as I write.
Best, R.E.F.
