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.

Home from Venice!
Look for a chatty post with pictures in a couple of days when I'm not insane from jetlag. :D

Traveling
I love to go.
No, really. Give me the opportunity to travel somewhere, and I"m there. Rome, Barcelona, Malaga, Montreal, Ottawa, Cancun, Nassau, Cheyenne, Dallas, Galveston, Albuquerque, Santa Barbara, Kennebunkport, New Orleans, London. Let's go.
I love seeing things. I love wandering. I absolutely adore meeting people and learning things and exploring.
Wednesday I leave for a quick three days in Venice. No plans, just go, do, see, experience.
I guarantee I'll come home with book ideas. :D

The walking wounded
Man, I have torn my right quadricep and it's *sore*. Yesterday I tried to do some laundry and something popped and I considered dying for about 20 seconds.
Lord.
About to head to Venice next week to take the beautiful Julia Talbot for her birthday -- this is a big one, it ends in a zero. I have a ton of stuff to do first and a book release literally the day I get home.
Speaking of book releases -- I have 3 new covers that I'll upload onto my site today. They're stunning and I'm a little in love with them. :D

Wrangler jeans
Oh, how do I love them, let me count the ways...
1. Tight.
2. Really tight.
3. Ironed and starched.
4. Tissue-paper thin from age.
5. Spattered with mud.
6. Stretched over a Harley.
7. Stretched over a horse.
8. Straddling a bull.
9. Climbing over a fence.
10. Straddling another fine ass in a pair of Wranglers...

So, I'm a weird author
but you know, I don't mind dealing with edits.
Do I take all of them? Nope (listens to Kate and Chris scream in the background). Especially if it's a Texasism, I'll keep it, but for the most part, I really enjoy the chance to wander through a book for the (basically, hopefully) last time.
*grins*
Of course, Monday I lost 3 hours of edits to a corrupted file and now I'm starting over with 2 1/2 days less to work than I started with.
Damn it.
;-)

Giving up soy
So, yeah, I know this is supposed to be all about marketing and all, but...
In the last 2 years I've had to give up wheat, dairy, artificial anything, shellfish, and pecans.
Last week? The doctor took me off soy.
ACK!
Do y'all know how much food (especially that is safe for wheat-free/dairy-free people) has soy?
No more soy lattes.
And soy lecithin is everywhere and...
*hyperventilates*
Starbucks! ACK!

Man, Spring is Surely Over...
It was 95 degrees here, which means a few things. One, curtains all shut for the duration. Two, hello shorts and tank tops (it's been flip flop season for weeks). Three, no using the oven unless there is no other option. Four? Walk the dogs in the morning instead of the afternoon.
This means getting up 45 minutes earlier than usual. Yuck. Of course, it also means getting the dogs walked early and the possibility of a nap in the afternoon, but...
Man, it was hard to get up early today...
