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!

Simple Advice for the Frustrated Writer
With each new ebook reader, comes more excitement. Ebook sells for electronic press authors continue to climb. Big publishing houses now offer ebooks when ebooks were once snickered at by the higher powers that be in this crazy world of writing. And it is a crazy world. Believe me. What other industry do you see run by people who choose to make their living off of writers...I'm talking about big time publishing houses here....not the small press..but many houses operate under businessmen with zero writing skill. They hire agents and editors with college degrees, but many of them are not writers.....yet they make a larger percentage off the royalties than the writer. And this is true across the board. What other industry exists like this? Writers truly work for peanuts, generally struggling until a huge backlist exists. Don't ask me to break down a writer's time in pay per hour. I don't think those negative numbers exist. Yet there are those of us out there who plug away, writing day after day. Living more off the fan mail, the wonderful email sent from a reader than the all mighty dollar. We write because we can and we write because it gives us joy. Very few of us go into this wanting to make money..though a few of us make tons of it. We enter into this world to enrich our own lives, to share with others and to give the simple gift of a story to the world. This is what we must remind ourselves when the numbers get to us. Or when we tire of the same fifteen authors' faces staring at us in the book store from the back cover. We know there's more than fifteen authors out there. Right? That's why I love indie book stores, they carry a wide selection. The marketing, the politics, the jacked up royalties will all get to us at one point or another. Just do what makes you happy. Write.

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.
