I'm generally one of those girls that will be sitting around and decide at the spur of the moment to go see a movie, visit the mall, or whatever. Big changes rattle me though and we (kids and I) just had a HUGE lifestyle change.
We did live in a cute three bedroom house on a nice family filled street. We had lived there for almost two years and LOVED it. We had a big back yard the kids didn't play in and I had to mow. We lived right by middle school and elementary school. I even had my own laundry room!
All of the above came with a huge expense and lot of upkeep for me. I was so stressed out and needed to relieve some of that so I could sleep at night again and be happy. I decided we needed to move into an apartment.
Now we are in a two bedroom place. I have to haul the laundry to the laundry room and must listen to neighbor kids play outside my door all the time. Every time someone knocks on my neighbor's door, I think I have a visitor. But we have a pool, no yard for me to maintain, and we are on ground level! There's also lots of eye candy!
I know moving was the right decision but it still had me a bit scared at first. The first night here I went to close the bathroom curtains and found a giant tarantula on my bathroom window! I was sure it was a sign that we shouldn't have given up our house but I got over it.
We might have given up our peaceful house for a smaller place and neighbors but the important stuff is back. A happy life and a week later, I have no regrets and neither do my children!
What conveniences make you happy in your daily life?

About Us
We are the authors Sierra Wolfe, Tierney O'Malley, Wendy Ely, Alisha Paige, Mark Alders, Kate Davison, and Gracen Miller. Welcome to our blog. We hope to entertain and inform you. This is where we will share our writing journeys and life experiences, and maybe, share a bit of wisdom we pick up along the way. We hope you enjoy it!
About Gracen
Gracen is a hopeless daydreamer masquerading as a "normal" person in southern society. When not writing, she's a full-time basketball/football/guitar mom for her two sons and a devoted wife to her real-life hero-husband. She's addicted to writing, paranormal romance novels and movies, Alabama football and coffee…addictions are not necessarily in order of priority. She is convinced coffee is nectar from the gods and blending coffee and writing together generates the perfect creative merger. Many of her creative worlds are spawned from coffee highs. To learn more about Gracen or to leave her a comment, visit her website at www.gracenmiller.com.

About Kate
I like to read and write just about anything. But I am a sucker for a Happily-Ever-After. I need to know characters ride off into the sunset and all is right in their world. That's why I chose romance instead of another category. HEA's aren't always promised in other genres, though I do read them too.
Most of the time you'll find me at the keyboard, moving between the 5 projects I tackle at a time.

About Alisha
I write paranormal, magic realism, fantasy, erotic and vintage romance. I live in a haunted house built in the 50s and love to drink red wine and eat dark chocolate while sitting in the swing out back. I love to watch my children play in the sandbox while my dogs wrestle on the grass. Does life get any better? It's the simple things in life I cherish.

About Wendy
Writing is an adventure I started at a young age but never took it serious until last year. My focus is on contemporary romance and have two books coming out later this year. Besides writing, I run a childcare, attend college, and am a single mom. Life isn't boring for me!

About Mark
My name is Mark Alders. I live in a house. This house has a street in front of it which is a good thing because if it didn't I wouldn't be able to drive down to the shop and purchase the chocolate I need on a daily basis *giggle* Seriously, I am a mild mannered post office worker by day and an erotic romance writer (mainly male/male) at night. Not much else to say other than, like everyone else, I have bills to pay, a mortgage and family that I love and drive me crazy all at the same time. Oh, and I have a dog, too! See? Average Joe...execpet when I get down and write...then I let my imagination go to places I never knew existed and my characters invade my mind.
About Sierra
I have an Associates Degree in Nursing and work as a traveling nurse. Although, I miss my family and friends back in Missouri, I enjoy meeting new people and love to travel. Of course, I wouldn’t go anywhere without my wonderful daughter and two rotten dogs. Writing has always been a part of my life, but for many years, I thought it was only a hobby. Finally learning that I couldn’t live without writing my beloved stories, I decided to see where it would take me. Who knows where my next adventure will be? Either in nursing or writing, I will continue to look for new and fun places to explore.
