We’d
like to welcome BA Tortuga to Smoocher’s Voice! She was kind enough to answer a
couple questions for us. Not an interview exactly just a couple of questions.
Maybe ones y’all wanted the answer to.
Having written everything
from fist-fighting rednecks to hard-core cowboys to werewolves, you are a
prolific writer. What inspires you to write?
I am a born eavesdropper and
I talk to EVERYONE. I could visit with trees and I honestly love to hear folks’
stories. I am constantly telling people, “that’s totally going in a book”. I
have a huge, fascinating, psychotic family of amazing characters. There’s no
lack of inspiration. ;-)
Do you have a favorite
series or character?
A favorite series? Probably
the Road Trip series with MJ and Sonny. Those were four books that make me
laugh, make me cry and pushed me, because I had to plot. Like things had to
make sense! My favorite character of all time has to be Coke from the
Roughstock universe. Coke is so real he hurts and he’s always right there,
begging for more page time.
Is writing across multiple
genres challenging?
I don’t have an issue
writing different genres. After all, I have the attention span of a caffeinated
gnat on crack. I write (and read) all the things. I love characters and I love
stories. I want to do ALL THE THINGS.
;-)
ALL THE THINGS!
Much love, y’all.

BA Tortuga:
Texan
to the bone and an unrepentant Daddy's Girl, BA Tortuga spends her days with
her basset hounds, getting tattooed, 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 porn sites 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.
Having
written everything from fist-fighting rednecks to hard-core cowboys to
werewolves, BA does her damnedest to tell the stories of her heart, which was
raised in Northeast Texas, but has answered the call of the high desert
mountains. With books ranging from hard-hitting GLBT romance, to fiery menages,
to the most traditional of love stories, BA refuses to be pigeon-holed by
anyone but the voices in her head.

Kiernan Kelly:
Kiernan Kelly lives in the wilds of the alligator-infested
U.S. Southeast, slathered in SPF 45, drinking colorful tropical, hi-octane
concoctions served by thong-clad cabana boys.
All right, the truth is that she spends her time locked
in the dark recesses of her office, writing gay erotic romance while chained to
a temperamental laptop, drinking coffee, and dreaming of thong-clad
cabana boys.
Sigh.
To date, Kiernan has over a dozen novels in print and
ebook, and a plethora of short stories in both formats.

Excerpt:
Denver was-- wow.
Denton had been stunning, making Blaine stare a lot. A
lot. Still, Dent had been off-limits, and he’d bet Denver was, too. No one
could be that hot and be like Blaine.
He was the weird one, the one brought into the pack by
a she-wolf who had already had a single pup. Blaine figured he was lucky no one
had killed him when he was a kid.
Everyone else was broad and wide, shaggy headed with
eyes like green glass. All of them came from the same line. Denver was the
spitting image of Denton, really. A little harder around the edges, a little
more wild. A shit ton more bruised.
The guys had been taking turns. Two a night, just like
clockwork, they’d come and challenge Denver. One at midnight, one at three a.m.
Greg and Vince went, then Carter and Caul, and finally Hank and Mike. Boom.
He supposed Denver was waiting for him, now. Blaine
sighed. He had no intention of trying to take the pack. God, the very idea made
his head hurt.
The real question was, were they going to just start
over, or was Denver going to get a night off, a chance to sleep before they
settled in town for tonight’s show?
