DESERT ISLAND CASTAWAYS: B.A. Tortuga

Our favorite MM authors a.k.a. castaways are asked, what books, songs and luxury item would they take to a desert island?

This is a monthly series inspired by LezReviewBooks.com’s ‘Desert Island Books’, which in turn is based on BBC’s ‘Desert Island Discs’.

Let’s welcome our June castaway, B.A. Tortuga

DESERT ISLAND BOOKS

Jumping, Landing and Taking by Julia Talbot – So, this book was inspired by the first gift I gave the author. I fell in love with her as she was writing it. I married her 11 years after she published it. 😀

Bent by Sean Michael – Jim and Marcus are my favorite all-time BDSM couple and I adore them.

IT by Stephen King – I am a huge King fan, and this is my favorite book of all time. I read it when it came out, and I can discuss this story for weeks. Ask me. 😉

Beloved by Toni Morrison – I read this in college, and it damn near killed me with its power. I still have may original copy.

Magic’s Pawn by Mercedes Lackey – I actually love the entire series. It’s my ‘I need to cry’. 😉

Sagebrush and Lace by Sugar Lee Ryder and JD Cutler – Lesbian cowboys, y’all. Seriously. *grins*

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott – I have loved this book my entire life. In some ways, I am Jo March, if Jo was an OCD lesbian desert witchy woman…

Keepers of the Cave by Gerri Hill – This book has it all — FBI agents in love, it’s set in my hometown, the suspense is wild, and… Just go read it. 

The Stand by Stephen King – Stu Redman is my hero. Nuff said.

The Dark Half by Dean Koontz – This is the book the encapsulates my adoration for horror novels with the foils covers — readers from the 70s and 80s will understand. There’s voodoo, a cop, demons in a locker — EVERYTHING.

ABOUT B.A. TORTUGA

Texan to the bone and an unrepentant Daddy’s Girl, BA Tortuga spends her days with her hounds and her beloved wife, texting her grandbabies, 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. Following their own personal joys, BA and Julia heard the call of the  high desert and they now live in the New Mexico mountains. BA’s personal saviors include her wife, her best friends, and coffee. Lots of coffee. Really good coffee.

Having written everything from fist-fighting rednecks to cowboy daddies to werewolves, BA does her damnedest to tell the stories of her heart, which is committed to giving everyone their happily ever after. With books ranging from hard-hitting BDSM, to fiery passions, to the most traditional of love stories, BA refuses to be pigeon-holed by anyone but the voices in her head.
