Scenes From A Chaotic Mind: Guest post by Ana Blaze, author of The Best Man and a giveaway

Hi Tanya, thanks for having me over. I’m excited to share some of my writing music with you.
I rarely listen to music while I write fiction, but I almost always use music to prepare myself for writing. When I’m researching or taking a Twitter break, I choose music based on the mood of the next scene I plan to write. It helps set the mood. So, if I’m writing a cute first meeting between my main characters I’ll listen to a couple of light and cheery songs like With A Girl Like You by The Troggs or Enchanted by Taylor Swift. If I’m rearing up for some angst and unrequited love, it’s time for Rolling in the Deep from Adele or White Blank Page by Mumford and Sons. When things start to heat up, I’ll give Bruno Mars’ Our First Time a play or maybe Shiver, Shiver by Walk the Moon.

The Best Man by Ana Blaze

Blurb

Beth Chase is too busy planning perfect weddings to worry about the lack of action in her own love life. But if she was looking for a man, she wouldn’t be looking at Colin Pratt. Her boss swears that Best Man Colin is a quiet scholar and science fiction writer who couldn’t possibly cause a fuss at his own brother’s wedding. He’s clearly never met the man in question. Snarky, sexy and more than a little inebriated, Colin is the final obstacle between Beth and the last perfect wedding she needs to make partner. Of course, when she helps him into a taxi at the end of the night she has no idea that he’s only just begun to poke holes in her professional exterior. Colin might have the skills to seduce a romance professional, but can he convince her that he’s the best man to share her happy ever after?
