On this Superbowl Sunday, I am devoting my blog to not those hulking beasts of the gridiron, but those hotties Down Under who make my blood boil and mouth water.
This. I'm talkin' about this!
Let me introduce you to the gentlemen of the AFL - The Austrailian Football League - Austrailian Rules Football/Footy.
OMG!!! I'm having a meltdown. Granted this picture was taken back in '04-'05 so I'm not even sure if all of them are still playing the game, but dammmmmmmn, who cares.
Above and beyond the luscious factor, these guys are top-notch atheletes who can do some really amazing things with balls. *wink*
I'm not kidding they kick the ball sidewise from mid-field while running and make it through the goal. On a really bad day they might get a "behind" - those are the posts beside the goal and are still worth some pointage. I've seen an injury occur on the field and the game doesn't stop - oh, no - they just run over the guy while the ref yells, "Play on. Play on." - Now, these are men.
It's Feb. and I'm already getting antsy. What if Setanta doesn't carry AFL this year? What will I do? I'm getting very upset by my lack of finding them on the schedule amidst the soccor. Ughhhhh. I don't want soccor. I want something with the cool kicks and sprints of soccor, but with the speed of hockey and toughness of rugby. Only AFL fits the bill.
Thing is, I'm not one to generally watch sports. I will watch the Olympics and rugby with my hubby. I used to be an NFL fan back when Don Shula's Miami Dolphins dominated the gridiron, but I lost a love for the game when that era came and went. It just wasn't the same. But honestly, in American football there is too much stopping and going. Each time a down is made the entire defensive and offensive lines have to regroup and line up to put the damn play back into play. Not true for the AFL. When you pay your ticket and enter the stadium, you get more bang for your buck from the get-go. Non-stop action. Even watching it on tv, you get that. It's just amazing. I'm not going to go into any of the rules or how-tos here, because I'm still trying to figure them all out as I watch.
However, I will leave you with a final thought.
Have a great Sunday!

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 Tierney
Hi! My name is Tierney O'Malley, contemporary and paranormal romance author from the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

I'm excited to join this blog and hope to share you fun and meaningful posts. :D Click here or go to my website http://tierneyomalley.com to learn more about my books or contact 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.

Please and thank you, Kat! Teehee! I believe I like Australian rules. :-)
Aussie rules is the best! My family and I go for the team Essendon (the guys with the black and red uniform)
We live near the off-season training ground of one of the teams and Essenson played...and won! Great family day out as the guys put on a BBQ for all the familys that attend. Very good community spirit and they really treat the kids well, letting them practice with them and kick around the ball.
Great post Kate. Now I am just about ready to get my team colours out the wardrobe. Season starts soon :-)
Double yum!!! Drooooollll! Man, I wish we could watch these guys play. Wahhhhh!
