Hey y'all! I'll be scarce for a week; I'm heading to the wilds of Colorado to cool off, hike a lot, eat gluten free pizza and sink up to my neck in inspiration. There's nothing like a few days in a new area to make my muse wake up and demand adoration of the word count kind. :D
Y'all be nice while I'm wandering. I promise to bring back pictures and stories.
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.

Guest Blogger -- Julia Talbot
Boo! Hi, there. Julia Talbot here, taking over BA's blog for the day.
She kindly let me hijack her blog today to do a post about my new book, Under the Moon
Under the Moon is a werewolf tale about Jamie, who doesn't date other weres, and Ty, who thinks Jamie ought to reconsider. There's an annoying roommate, a German shepherd named Rufus, and some hot, bitey sex…
You can find it here:
http://www.torquerebooks.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=78_91&products_id=3228
As you can see from the cover, there's a strong roleplaying game theme to the book, and I thought it would be fun to give you some character stats from the book, gaming style. (All character attributes are based on a scale from 1-20, 20 being high, 10 being average.)
Jamie - Main character – Werewolf- Lone wolf type
Intelligence – 17
Charisma – 12
Strength – 8
Dexterity – 12
Sanity- 16
Specialities- languages, reading, ignoring his roommate
Ty – Main Character – Werewolf – Alpha male
Intelligence – 13
Charisma – 18
Strength – 15
Dexterity – 15
Sanity – 15
Specialties – being buff, wolf sanctuaries, dorkiness
Anton – secondary character – human – game master
Intelligence – 15
Charisma – 10
Strength- 6
Dexterity – 8

Grins. Man, that took me back. Thanks for hanging out, y'all, and check out Under the Moon when you have a chance!

Busy Week Coming Up!
Howdy, y'all!
This week is a busy one -- I will be hosting a Free Fic Week on my livejournal all week long, as well as hosting the Torquere Social LJ on Tuesday.
Wednesday, I'm tickled to have guest blogger (and my partner), Julia Talbot promoting her new m/m paranormal release.
Thursday I'm pulling double duty, posting at the Romance for the Rest of Us Blog and TRS' Rainbow Studio Blog.
Then Friday I'll be doing the Flashback Friday on the Romance for the Rest of Us Blog, and I'll be giving away a prize pack, including a signed copy of one of my older novels. :D
Why so busy? Hell, y'all, it's blistering hot here and Julia are fixin' to head to the mountains for a week, cool off, ogle river guide, hike, and feed chipmunks. Also, we have rooms in not one, but two haunted hotels (I've got a ramble about those planned for Friday.)
Y'all have a great week.
*kisses all around*
