I actually went to his website and found a blog post that spells out exactly what he does to prepare a novel. He usually starts a new novel while waiting to hear back from publishers on nearly finished titles.
He starts with collecting notes from a plethora of sources to base his work on and when he feels he has a story worth telling, he fills in a simple version of the story arc and begins making note cards with chapter notes, which are then assembled in order to create the best possible flow. Once that is done, he starts his chapter outlines and claims the rest of the book will take care of itself.
