Between The Reluctant Bride and this new novella Susan has demonstrated quite the talent for well-crafted western romances. As with all of her books, there are plenty of spankings,and plenty of twists to keep the story moving along. While the plot is a touch fanciful, the central characters are each very well-rounded and believable. … Continue reading Book of the Month: Elizabeth’s Flight
LSF Publications have selected another of my shorts for publication- this time in the Pop! series, featuring M/F paddling tales. Initiation was my first foray into the fraternity/sorority genre, a genre which I feel is much in need of a more realistic take on student life- something I hoped to address with this story. I still … Continue reading Pop!
Something a bit different this month in Bound to a Vampire Volume 1: Into the Dark Woods by Grey Francis. This is more a general BDSM novel than a spanking novel, and features heavy M/M content and more explicit sexual content than other novels featured here. But. . .there are vampires involved, so I'm happy … Continue reading Book of the Month: Bound to a Vampire Volume 1: Into the Dark Woods by Grey Francis
This month's book is Susan Thomas's The Reluctant Bride, the first western romance I've featured, I believe. Susan has mastered the depiction of a strong, empowered heroine struggling to embrace her need for discipline. What I found particularly poignant were the other women Ellen meets on her journey who quietly acknowledge and support her as … Continue reading Book of the Month: The Reluctant Bride by Susan Thomas
LSF have included one of my early stories, "The Guardian," in the first volume of the new anthology Fantasy Spanking Tales. I am positively giddy at being selected, and more so at seeing one of my little tales along side some of my favourite authors. From the publisher: This volume of Fantasy Spanking Tales … Continue reading I’ve been Published!
I've been waiting so anxiously for this one! Magic was the first of DJ's stories I'd read on his blog. I was so caught up in the world he'd created- as detailed and coherent as any I'd seen in mainstream fantasy novels- that the spankings seemed almost incidental. I remember the excitement of seeing a … Continue reading Book of the Month: Magic by DJ Black
As some of you have likely guessed from the lack of regular posts, June is flying by for me. More than half way through the month, I've finally chosen a book- Stacy goes to College by Frank Martinet (who some may know as Flogmaster). His stories were among the first I read after stumbling on … Continue reading Book of the Month: Stacy Goes to College
It seems I'm repeating authors already, but Sue deserves another mention for this one. Journey to Love is as captivating as any of Sue's fiction, and plays into her well-developed and truly enjoyable theme of a young British woman who chooses to enter an intimate, rural American community with a strong local tradition of loving … Continue reading Book of the Month: Journey to Love by Susan Thomas
Happy April everyone! Fittingly, on the first of the month I'm featuring the first book from Carly Burton, though some of you may be familiar with her stories from LSF where she contributes as Elorac (if you haven't already, I would highly recommend her "Royal Attitude Adjustment" series available there). Charlotte's Fulfilment is a light … Continue reading Book of the Month: Charlotte’s Fulfilment by Carly Burton
No new story from me today (or last week or the week before. . .I know. . .). Work has kept me extremely busy recently, and non-technical writing hasn't much happened (not even email and comment responses- very sorry for my absence, but it's nice to see you all seem to have been having a … Continue reading Bonus Book of the Month: Dana and the Drifter by Abigail Armani
