Snow.
In Austin.
In February.
Like 2 inches.
Of snow.

Texan to the bone and an unrepentant Daddy's Girl, BA Tortuga spends her days with her basset hounds and her beloved wife, texting her sisters, and eating Mexican food. When she's not doing that, she's writing. She spends her days off watching rodeo, knitting and surfing Pinterest in the name of research. BA's personal saviors include her wife, Julia Talbot, her best friend, Sean Michael, and coffee. Lots of coffee. Really good coffee.

Color coordination
Or not.
It's icing outside and icky. So -- I have my red Pooh sweatshirt on.
With my rainbow Care Bear socks.
And my green Grinch pants.
I also have my Wizard of Oz coffee mug.
And my pink glasses.
I am ready to face almost anything -- so long as I don't have to go outside or deal with mean people...

Reviews -- Good and Bad
As y'all know (or don't, I don't know), I don't read my reviews.Emails? Yes. Each and every one makes me a little fluttery, but reviewers are a different animal. Julia will tell me, periodically, if there's something in one that needs high-dollar attention -- specifically mistakes, but otherwise, I find that focusing on reviews stymies my creativity. Honestly, once the book is done, I'm done with it, I'm in a different head space and, as one of those OCD people, I can start in a cycle of worry, if I let myself. Also, that's what my editors are for -- if I'm making a huge mistake as a writer, I trust in them to rein my in -- but in the writing process, nope. I just let things happen and experience the joy of having the best job on earth.
Don't get me wrong, I love the job reviewers do and I read reviews when I'm hunting something to read -- even the ones that hate the things I write. There are many times something that someone can't bear in a review is something that's a huge hot button for me as a reader, so I'll go buy the book (or, as in the case of last weekend, the whole blasted series and devour all four in one night!)
As a writer, though, I have to live in another world. ;-)

New book out today!
Y'all know I love my bullriders and I love Brazilians and threesomes and hot sex and...
Yeah.
Uhn.
What can I say? The editor's comment to me was "whoa-smoking hot". *is proud*
Balta loves Joa more than he loves himself, which is saying a lot. He knows that Joaquim loves him, too, but he also knows that sometimes Joa needs someone who can be more of a friend than a lover.
Which is where Raul comes in. Raul is new to the bullriding circuit, and needs their help. But he's also kind, fond of Joa, and smoking hot. Balta decides that Raul is just what he and Joa need to even out the balance of power, but will Joaquim and Raul be as easy to convince that they all belong together? Sequel to the popular Arcana, Doce.
