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.

When is fall coming?
I'm ready for chili and football and Halloween and not having to walk the dogs at seven in the morning just so we all don't die.

Sara's Cowboy
So, Sara's Cowboy.
What can I tell you about it? Sara and Cal were the first het (m/f) romance I wrote. I did it on a dare from my dear Julia. I grew up reading an odd mix of horror and Harlequin and I love romances. I love them no matter what the permutation of lovers are. But I wasn't sure I could do it, write a man meeting a girl and falling in love...
Then I met Sara. She hit me with the force of a runaway freight train -- wicked and smart, modern and fierce. I loved her on introduction (although I will immediately admit to her being one of my very few non-southern/cowboy characters. I had to work *so* hard on keeping her voice!). Then there was Cal.
Uhn.
Cal was grumpy and short-tempered and a touch rough and... Yeah.
Suddenly Sara and Cal weren't a dare anymore. Suddenly they were a couple with a life, with a love affair.
Suddenly they were a story.
I couldn't be more pleased to have them rereleasing with Resplendence. They've lived under a shadow for too long and I'm pleased as punch that they're out and available.
Oh, yeah. There's more books in the universe coming, too...

Looking for hot weather recipes
with no gluten, soy, or dairy (I know, I know, food allergies suck).
It's a zillion degrees outside and I'm so tired of coconut yogurt as a meal.
Any suggestions?

I'm easy.
Just need caffeinated goodness.

Allergies, the studio, writing, and Billy the Exterminator
Point one -- my eyes itch. Fiercely. My nose is runny, my head hurts, and I'm super-whiny redneck. *grins*
I do, however have iced coffee, eye drops, and Dayquil Sinus -- so there's hope.
Point two -- Julia and I have been reorganizing the studio of doom. I swear, when we started this 'the teenager has moved out so now we have a room to do art in' thing, it felt like that room was huge.
HUGE!
Now there are 4 sewing machines, quilting frames, paint, tools, yarn, fabric, wood, needles, thread, roving, foam, felt, books, magazines, beads, altered dolls...
Whoa.
On the good side, there. I *should* have my latest quilt quilted this weekend and can focus on binding it.
Point three -- MJ and Sonny are on track for their release. I have Ace Porter stealing the het universe (I allow myself to work on one m/m, one m/f, and one m/m/f at a time. And the menage -- OMG!HOT. Think two Aussie alpha male cowboys and a girl who decides she's not waiting for attention any more. There is a strap-on scene of joy. *grins*
Point the last -- I am in love with Billy the Exterminator. I grew up with people just like him and just like the people he helps. He makes me laugh -- no. No, he makes me *hoot*. I'm stupid addicted. *grins*
(Although I am honest enough to admit that a goodly part of the watching enjoyment is seeing Julia Talbot squeal and shudder at the bugs. *eg*)
*kisses all around*
How are y'all today?

*wiggles toes*
Man, I want to be at the beach right now, the water lapping my toes, the sun beating down, watching mostly naked studs play volleyball.
:D
Of course, I also want to have a bikini body and that's not going to happen.
;-)
