Hi guys!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we're welcoming back Rachel's Random Resources as we set our sights on another Historical Romance out now via Harlequin Books! I, for one, would have LOVED to sign up for a review of this one to share with all of you, but alas...I still haven't perfected that CREATE TIME formula yet, and my calendar is a bit overbooked at the moment to realistically squeeze it in. NO worries...that's what WISH LISTS are for! Anywho, my wish list add could be your next must read, so let's get this party started as we introduce today's title in the spotlight (then chat with the author!)...

He seems determined to protect her from the unknown enemy pursuing her across the Scottish Highlands. But, bitterly hurt by his past betrayal, she needs answers. Why did he abandon her? And how can she keep her heart safe now, when the connection between them is as strong as ever…

~~~ GUEST POST with Author Jeanine Englert ~~~
Thank you, Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers, for hosting me today for a guest post on your blog! I’m so excited to be here to celebrate the release of my latest Harlequin Historical/ Mills & Boon book, The Lost Laird from Her Past, which is book two in the Falling for a Stewart series.
As a writer, I’m often asked about my writing process, so I’d thought I’d share with you five things about my writing process that you may not know with you today:
I am a pantser through and through. I know and understand people that can plot a novel all the way through before starting it, but that has never been my process. Even when I attempt to plot my books, the story always changes as I write each chapter and my characters start to have their own way in the story!
I write my novel out of order. Although I always “see” or envision the first scene of the first chapter first of each book I've ever written, the rest of the chapters come to me sporadically and not in a linear fashion at all, since they come to me out of order. I tend to have to go back and edit chapters, and then I piece them back together.
Music is a huge part of my inspiration. I create playlists for my characters and use music as inspiration for different chapters and scenes in each book. I will often pick out images of characters and places as well and put it into what might be called a book “dreamboard” or a book “moodboard.”
I edit from the end of the book to the beginning. This is one of the best pieces of writing advice I've ever been given from a fellow writer. After I finish my book, I edit it from the end to the beginning so that I can better see and address any inconsistencies in characters, scenes, or plot lines.
I also listen to my book several times as I write and edit chapters. One of the only ways I can catch errors when I write is to listen to the scenes and chapters using the “read aloud” feature on my laptop. It also helps me to hear repetitious words and odd sounding dialogue. It doesn't catch everything, but it catches a lot!
Thank you so much for having me on your blog today! It has been amazing spending some time with you. Please feel free to drop a comment or ask questions if you like. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about my writing process or my books.
Please also feel free to follow me @JeanineWrites on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram or you can drop me a note on my website at www.jeaninewrites.com.
Wishing you all health, happiness, and many love stories for the rest of 2022!
