A warm welcome to author BA Tortuga returning to our blog today!
BA is talking about her new release “Soft Place to Fall”.
Welcome BA 🙂
Differences
Hey y’all! I’m BA Tortuga, resident redneck and lover of all things western.
So, I have to tell you, I’ve been writing cowboys for a long time, and for years I was writing Texas, because hello! Texan!
But six years ago I moved to New Mexico and I added the New Mexico cowboy to my skillset. *grins*
What? They’re different. Not vastly, but they wear different clothes, they sing different songs, they sound SO different, y’all. For example – the guys here? Don’t y’all. They yes, ma’am. They do not y’all.
In Soft Place to Land, Stetson is a New Mexico cowboy that’s caught between a rock and a hard place. His momma’s got Alzheimer’s, his ranch is fixin’ to get repossessed, and all Stetson’s momma wants in the world is to see Curtis.
But Curtis is a bull rider and on the road.
Not to mention that Curtis and Stetson broke up years ago.
Stetson is my New Mexican, and Curtis is my Texan, and I had to give them an opportunity to see the places where they matched, see if they were more important than the places they’re different.
I’ll be working that one out for awhile.
Much love, y’all,
BA
Soft Place to Fall Official Blurb:
Stetson Major and Curtis Traynor are about as opposite as two cowboys can get. Stetson is a rancher, tied to the land he loves in Taos, New Mexico, while Curtis is a rodeo cowboy whose wanderlust never could be tamed.
But now Stetson’s momma is dying of Alzheimer’s, and she can’t remember that Curtis hasn’t been Stetson’s boyfriend for a long time. Curtis’s absence makes her cry, so Stetson swallows his pride and calls his ex-lover.
To Curtis, Stetson is the one who got away, the love of his life. And Momma is his friend, so he’s happy to help out. Yet returning to the ranch stirs up all sorts of feelings that, while buried, never really went away. Still, the rodeo nationals are coming up, and Curtis can’t stay… even if he’s starting to want to, especially to support Stetson when he needs it most.
Stetson and Curtis want to find a place where they both fit, to be there to catch each other when they fall. But family, money problems, and the call of the rodeo circuit might end their second-chance romance before it even gets started.

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 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 heard the call of the high desert and lives in the Sandias. 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.
