When Julia came to me and asked me to play with her and Sean Michael in an off-shoot of her best-selling Bloodrose series, I admit I freaked out a little bit. <br /><br />Me? Write BDSM-y stuff with the Queen of Spanking and the creator of the Velvet Glove and Hammer? I mean, wow.<br /><br />Of course, they ganged up on me and I said yes. I'm proud of my contribution -- werekitties and a growly werewolf. ;-) Sean and Julia assure me I did just fine. <br /><br />Cereus: Opening will be coming out in early 2012; I'm already working on my piece for that one. <br /><br />I hope y'all have as much fun reading it and we did writing it. :DBA Tortugahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15057199309459214767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-57688102924705451522011-09-19T11:54:11.245-04:002011-09-19T11:54:11.245-04:00Hey y'all!

The project has grown and now includes thousands of videos from celebrities, politicians, and writers, a website where teens can get support, and a book.<br /><br />The fact is that everyone deserves hope, deserves a story, and deserves love, and I am totally behind the message that you can survive those hard teenage years and grow up to be the person you want to be.<br /><br />:D<br /><br />BABA Tortugahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15057199309459214767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-62950642174219617942011-09-19T11:41:31.418-04:002011-09-19T11:41:31.418-04:00Hi there BA,
