Saturday Spankings - Suspicions on the River

Welcome to Saturday Spankings. Today I’m beginning snippets from the next book in the series, Suspicions on the River. If you’re taking your time to come here and read let me explain that my posts for Saturday Spankings are a bit different. They won’t always contain spankings – I’m trying to promote my books and my books are a mixture of family, friends, spanking and humor. I try to show the tone of my books. I know my ‘snippets’ are sometimes too long and I’ll try to work on that. I know everyone is busy. But as this snippet starts off the book it’s a little long to help you know who everyone is. But I promise there are plenty of spankings to come.

Not wanting to wake him, Lily gave her husband, Henry, a gentle kiss just before leaving their apartment and stepping into the main kitchen of the house. She had just taken her first sip of coffee when Sophie joined her. 

“Law, child. What you doin’ up this time of the mornin’? It’s your first day of vacation. I figured you be sleepin’ late.”

Sophie laughed. “No way! I’ve been dreaming of being back here at The Landing since last summer. I don’t want to waste any of it sleeping.”

Lily smiled at Miss Annie’s great-grand daughter. Everyone had been surprised nearly two years ago when Annie’s daughter, given up at birth, had found Annie and contacted her. Annie herself had been the most surprised and delighted to meet her daughter, granddaughter and of course, Sophie her great-granddaughter. All these women looked nearly identical and Sophie, at age fourteen, already showed signs of great beauty. Her thick curly dark hair was pulled back from her face. And her dark, almost black, eyes snapped with happy excitement at being back on The Landing.

“Two weeks went by so fast last summer. But now, getting to spend the whole summer here! I’m just too excited to sleep anyway.”

“I ‘preciate the company,” Lily told her. “You want some juice? I can start you some breakfast in a minute.”

“Can I have some coffee? I don’t want anything to eat yet.”

“Your mama let you drink coffee?” Lily asked suspiciously.

“Sometimes,” Sophie hedged.

Lily laughed and poured her a cup, letting her doctor it the way she wanted.

“Miss Lily, can… may I asked you some questions?”

“Sure can. What y’all want to know, honey?” Lily sat at the island next to Sophie.

“I guess I should have learned all this last summer but I felt funny asking too many questions. Everyone at The Landing is ‘family’” she said using air quotes. “But is anyone? I mean Greatmom and Cassie and Sue talk about being sisters, but they aren’t really, are they?”

“Well, yes and no,” Lily told her. “They ain’t got the same mama and daddy. But they got the bond of sisters. They all met when they wasn’t much older than y’all are now. Them women been through a lot together and that makes ‘em family.”

“Sounds good to me,” Sophie agreed. “Now I know you and Mr. Henry live here in Greatmom and Granddad’s house, but in your own little apartment. You work at all three houses, right?” 

“I do, I look after Miss Annie and Mr. Andy and Missy and Miss Priss and their menfolk, too.”

Sophie grinned, “Why do you call Cassie and Sue, ‘Missy’ and ‘Miss Priss’?”

“Oh it just seem to suit ‘em. They can be rascals, you know.”

Not able to picture the old women as rascals, Sophie laughed. 

“You wait and see,” Lily told her.

“Okay. Back to my questions. Cassie and Tom live in the next house downriver, then Ryan and Allie and Christian are in the next house, right? And Ryan is Cassie and Tom’s son.”

“Right,” Lily nodded.

“But,” Sophie asked hesitantly, “is Ryan adopted? I thought I heard something about that last summer, but I didn’t want to ask.”

“He is,” Lily nodded. “But they didn’t ‘dopt him until he was growed-up. ‘Fore that he was just the boy who mowed their yard. But they all got real close and when somethin’ happened ‘tween him and his daddy, Missy and Mr. Tom decided to ‘dopt him. 

“Allie was ‘bout sixteen when Missy and Mr. Tom moved here and when Ryan started coming to work in their yard, him and Allie fell in love.”

“Well, that’s romantic, falling in love with the boy next door. Doesn’t Allie have a brother that plays for the Charlotte Hornets? Isn’t his name Drew? I love basketball! I want to meet him this summer. Does he ever come here?” 

“Him and Jackson are mighty busy. So there not here as much as we wish they were. 

“Who’s Jackson?”

“Jackson’s Henry’s boy. He and Drew got together when me and Henry got married.”

“They’re a couple?” Sophie asked, seeming somewhat startled.

For the first time, Lily felt uncomfortable. No one living at The Landing gave Drew and Jackson being a couple a second thought, but this was a young girl. Not having any idea how the child had been raised or her feelings along these lines, Lily wasn’t sure exactly what to say. So she just nodded. Finally, she asked, “That bother you?”

Sophie looked solemn. “You mean because they’re a bi-racial couple?”

Now it was Lily’s turn to be startled. “No. I meant … I thought ‘cause…”

Sophie let Lily fumble around for a moment longer before she began laughing. “Lily, you’re so funny! Black, white, gay, straight – nobody cares about those things anymore. I like being bi-racial, it makes me feel special. My best friend is black and her moms are a bi-racial lesbian couple. It all seems normal to me.”

Lily laughed along with Sophie. “Well, that’s the way we all feel ‘round here,” Lily told her, wishing she could agree with the child that no one cared about those things anymore.

“Okay, I just have a couple more questions. Still going downriver, the house after Allie and Ryan’s is Sue and Steve’s house. And then the last one belongs to Jenny and Cal. Did they ever get their house finished or are they still living in the cabin?” 

“They got a real nice house built. Finest sittin’ porch I ever saw. They took they time buildin’ too. Cal’s daddy and his brothers did a lot o’ the work. But they been in it for a couple months now,” Lily told the girl.

“Cal’s the sheriff isn’t he?”

“He is. He the youngest sheriff they ever ‘lected ‘round these parts. He only in his early thirties.”

That didn’t sound very young to Sophie, but she didn’t say that. “Okay, last question – for the moment – I know Jenny calls Cassie ‘Mom’ but Cassie’s not her real mom, is she?”

Lily laughed again. “That’s another one of them yes and no questions. Jenny’s real mama ain’t a very nice person. She real ugly to Jenny when she was growin’ up. Didn’t want her to marry Cal. It was a real mess for a while and Jenny don’t have no more to do with ‘em. And though it was a long time ago, Missy’s mama and daddy was the same way. So she understand Jenny pretty well and they kinda ‘dopted one another. Jenny calls Missy ‘Mom’ and I know Missy love her like a daughter.”

“That’s cool.” Sophie sat thinking. “So everybody on The Landing is family – but not many are really blood kin, right?”

Lily smiled as she thought. “I guess they ain’t much at that. Course you got baby Christian and his mama and daddy, Allie and her brother Drew. And you and Miss Annie, of course.”

“You mean I’m part of The Landing family too?” Sophie asked, feeling pleased.

Lily smiled and put her hand on Sophie’s shiny hair. “Oh child, you better know it.”

Suspicions on the River, 

Book Three

(a Cassie’s family story)

Cal and Jenny have a nearly idyllic marriage. There are rare trips across his lap for minor problems, but most of those trips are just for fun. Could that be changing? Pat, Cal’s former lover, has moved back to town and she wouldn’t mind giving it another try with Cal. She feels he can’t be serious about this little twit that he married so quickly. Pat feels that once Cal realizes she offers him a better option, he’ll choose her. But soon mysterious things begin happening to Pat. Is someone trying to run her out of town? Could that someone be Jenny?

Cassie and the whole river family try to keep Jenny occupied and out of trouble, but suspicions just go from bad to worse. Both Jenny and Pat want Cal and they’re willing to fight for him. How dirty will this fight get?

 Cassie’s Space series

 

These ten books introduce Cassie. She is my friend and has been since she wandered into my imagination fifty-four years ago. She is married to Tom, the man who loves her in a way that makes my heart nearly burst with happiness for the two of them. He loves her, guides her, protects her and when necessary, spanks the fool out of her. I’ve been told that their adventures are exciting, funny and realistic. Their love-life is passionate and fulfilling – but you’ll hear no graphic details, Cassie is a lady and giving too much detail would not be proper.

Cal’s Law series

 

Cal and Jenny are one of my younger couple. The spanking in their relationship began mere minutes after they met, and Cal hasn’t let up much since. There relationship has it’s struggles, but these two are meant to be together. They live in the same town as Cassie and Tom and there is a lot of interactions among the character of both series. Jenny is not as reluctant as Cassie to openly discuss her sex life, so you’ll find a little more spice in this series.

 

On the River series

 

In this, my latest series, everyone is around – all the characters I’ve grown to love over the years are living on the area of the river that they call The Landing. Their lives, their adventures, even their spankings sometimes intertwine. By this time in the series, I’m just typing as my characters tell me what’s happening. And I love it!

These books do take you through time as it passes, but please don’t think you have to read them in order. Start anywhere. Just grab one and give it a try. If you are a spanking enthusiast, I know you'll enjoy it.

 

I’ll close today with a review on the latest book. This is one of the finest reviews I’ve ever had. 

 

Starting with the first Cassie book until now, I have never been disappointed or failed to wait expectantly for the next one.

Saturday Spankings - All's well ...

Welcome to Saturday Spankings. We’ve come to the end of Secrets on the River. Allie, having gone into labor on the boat, delivered the child with Jenny’s help. Now they’re safely back home.

Cassie sat in the chair Ryan had vacated. She held the baby watching his tiny face in awe. He was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. 

“Christian Thomas,” she said softly. “I’m your grandma.” At the sound of her voice the baby opened his eyes. He seemed to stare at Cassie a moment before closing them again. She touched the baby’s cheek and was surprised that he turned toward the touch and began moving his mouth.

“Looks like he’s ready to try nursing,” Ruth told the gathered group. “And I’m going to need to check Allie. If you’ll all step out you can come back in just a minute.”

Ruth came to tell them that they could go back in. Sue and Steve beamed when they saw the little one but declined to hold him. “Not this little,” Sue told them. “Soon, but not tonight.” She paused a moment before giving Allie a piercing look. “You promised me. You swore!”

Allie laughed. “I’m sorry, Sue! I had no idea. I promise we’ll have the boat professionally cleaned.”

Sue rolled her eyes, as she spoke sarcastically, “Oh good! That’s been my biggest worry all afternoon! I’ll tell you one thing—you are not allowed back on my boat for a full nine and a half months anytime you and Ryan have sex! I’m taking no chances!”

~~

Sue hugged Cassie as they left and whispered in her ear. “That’s the best baby I’ve ever seen!”

Cassie beamed back at her. “Do you want to call Annie and Lily or Drew?” she asked.

“I’ll call my boy,” Sue answered. “You call the girls.”

Cassie nodded. Tom took her hand and they walked slowly back to their house. “I’m so tired,” Cassie moaned. “And all I did was sit and hold Allie’s hand! I don’t know how those girls managed.”

“I’ll fix us something to eat,” Tom offered. “You go curl up on the couch.”

“That sounds great,” she agreed, “but I need to call Annie with the news.” She pulled her phone out and sat at the kitchen island. As soon as Annie answered Cassie asked, “Is Lily with you? No,” she went on, “just put it on speaker.

“I just wanted you two to know that we now have a grandson, Christian Thomas!”

Cassie grinned at the bits of sentences she was hearing on the other end of the phone call.

“It’s here? A boy! When was he born?”

And from Lily, “Sweet Jesus! How everybody doin’?”

“Allie and Ryan are fine and the baby is perfect—ten fingers, ten toes and dark hair. And he weighed in at six pounds, two ounces! Twenty-one inches long. Allie says everyone can come tomorrow afternoon.

“Okay, we’ll try to wait but it’s going to be hard,” Annie told her. “We’ll let you go now, but tell me, were you with her for the birth?”

“Well… Allie wanted to go out on the boat, so we all did.” Cassie increased the speed of her words managing to get the rest out in nearly one breath. “Then she went into the fastest labor known to mankind and we were past the bridge and the boat wouldn’t start and she had the baby before we could get back to the house and Jenny delivered him. Talk to you more tomorrow. Bye!” And with a wicked grin she hung up.

“Cassie Jane! That was cruel,” Tom scolded. “Shame on you.” He gave her a swift pop on the butt sending her toward the living room. She snuggled into a corner of the couch still chuckling to herself.

A few minutes later, when Tom brought her a sandwich and a glass of wine, she was sound asleep.

Cassie woke a half hour later, shaking her head and stretching, trying to come fully awake. She told Tom, “I needed that.”

“Good,” Tom replied. “Now eat something and tell me everything. I want a bit more detail than you gave Annie and Lily.”

So as they ate, Cassie gave him a blow by blow of the whole afternoon. “It was amazing, terrifying, thrilling…” she concluded. “I don’t think I’ll ever forget Christian’s birthday.”

“I was sitting here thinking while you were sleeping. I’m a grandfather—a grandfather!  Tom placed his hand over hers. “There is one new experience I’m particularly looking forward to,” he told her.

“What’s that, my love?” she asked.

“I’ve never before in my entire life been intimate with a grandma. I bet that will be interesting.”

Cassie stood and held her hand out to Tom. “Then you shouldn’t have to wait any longer.”

Everyone has secrets, but most don’t have major implications. When Jenny tries to keep her weekend activities from Cal, the repercussions of him finding out land only on her. But some secrets are bigger and more far reaching. You would think that as long as Cassie, Sue and Annie have known each other, surely they could have no real secrets from one another. But you’d be surprised. The full truth behind one secret may never be known, another could change the face of The Landing forever.

From steamy sex to both playful and painful spankings, the people on the river continue to live and love and marvel at all that are learning.

Health Update

 

I realized I hadn’t given a health update in a while.  Basically, we’re doing good. It turned out I only had to have five radiation treatments and they were over in early January. I have to go for more checkups over the next year or so, but I don’t mind that. All and all the worst part of my cancer scare, the only painful part, was removing the bandage after surgery. I’m now on hormone blockers for the next five years. I have a younger cousin who is going through all this and the hormone blockers are causing her a fit. The extreme hot flashes, which came with nausea and heart palpation, were coming at her about five an hour. They tried a different medication and they’re down to about five a day. I really feel for her. I’ve had none of these problems, but then I went through menopause twenty years ago, so it wasn't a big change for me.

I’m afraid Nick hasn’t be quite as lucky as me. With blood cancer, you can’t just go in and take the cancer out and be done with it. He’s doing chemo, twenty-one day on and fourteen off. He gets injection once a week and takes pills daily when he’s on. Early into the second twenty-one days he was terribly sick one night. But that’s the only time it happened. His biggest symptom is extreme tiredness. We really don’t know how long his treatments will go on – six months, a year, longer? No one seems to really know. But he’s hanging in there.

Overall, I’m delighted with our good health even as we deal with all this. Neither of us is hurting (not counting knees), we get up each morning cook what we want, go where we want and do what we want. Nick’s happy that he still feels like golfing. At the moment we are planning a trip out west this summer. This is Nick’s idea more than mine, I’m a home body. But I’ll go along and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it once we get there. Molly went to some of the places he wants to see last year and she’s been very helpful in telling us the hikes we can take and the ones we should avoid. 

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes you’ve sent our way. They are much appreciated and I hope they continue.

Saturday Spankings - It's time!

Welcome to Saturday Spankings! In today’s snippet from Secrets on the River, Allie over eight months pregnant, wants to go out on the boat to feel a cool breeze and to have the feeling of moving fast. She and the ladies, often go down river to a small waterside bar, cut the engine and listen to the music as they drift by.

As Sue got the boat ready to go. She suddenly turned to Allie and said fiercely, “You swear to God you are not going to have this baby on my boat?”

“I do Sue, I promise!” Allie answered.

But the best laid plans...

Allie’s eyes were wide with something between shock and panic.

“What?” Jenny asked.

“I don’t know,” Allie replied, barely above a whisper. “You know I’ve been having Braxton-Hicks contractions for months. They’ve been coming and going all day but, I don’t know. This feels different. It…” Allie’s eyes widened and she squeezed Jenny’s hand painfully. “Shit! That hurt. I think this might be the real thing.”

“Don’t worry,” Jenny told her soothingly. “We’ll start back now, but this is a first baby. You’ve got hours and hours. Don’t panic.”

“Well that’s a comforting thought,” Allie replied sarcastically, still keeping her voice low. “Don’t tell Sue I might be in labor. Just tell her to head home.”

Sue was watching the sudden fluttering around Allie. “Is she alright?”

“Yes!” Cassie nearly shouted. “But let’s get home. Now!”

Sue sprang to action as she noted the look on Cassie’s face and immediately turned the key. Nothing happened. She switched it several times with the same result.

“It won’t start,” she wailed. She leapt from the driver’s seat and turned to the younger girls. “Do something!” she implored.

Lane quickly took Sue’s seat, trying the key herself. Still nothing.

Jenny checked the gas. There was plenty. The looks she and Lane were giving each other were no longer calm and reassuring.

“Honey, are you really in labor?” Cassie demanded.

“No, I don’t think… OWW!” she moaned. As the pain subsided somewhat, she gasped out, “Well, yeah, maybe.”

Cassie felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She had felt nothing but joy and excitement since the moment Allie had announced the pregnancy, but now she was feeling raw terror.

Looking back at the others, Cassie watched both Jenny and Lane flipping switches and trying the key again. Sue was standing as far away from Allie as she could get. She looked as if she were contemplating diving overboard and swimming away from the whole situation.

“Honey, it’s all right. We’ll get hold of Ryan and have him come out in your boat and get you,” Cassie told her, trying to convey a calmness she wasn’t feeling at all.

“I just called him. He’s on his way to the house and I called Ruth, too. Now I need to get there!”

“Wait, I know!” Jenny shouted as she flipped up the seat beside Allie and pulled out a tool. She opened the panel behind the back seat and everyone heard her tapping on something.

“Try the key,” she called to Lane.

When the engine roared to life, Jenny nearly cried with relief.

 “Remember?” she looked at Sue. “This happened once before. Steve said the battery connection was loose and he just tapped it back on.”

Sue looked back blankly. “Are you alright?” Lane asked her. Getting no answer, Lane spoke sharply, “Sue, get over here and drive!”

Cassie worried if Sue was going to be able to handle this. She thought of going and sitting near her for support. But that thought had barely gone through her head when she heard Allie gasp.

Everyone was silent, gaping, until Jenny spoke up. “Everything’s okay, your water just broke,” she told her. Cassie was amazed at how steady Jenny’s voice sounded.

Lane rapidly began opening seats and pulling out stacks of towels.

“This… isn’t… right,” Allie gasped. “The contractions aren’t coming and going. They’re…” she paused, closing her eyes, obviously in pain, before going on, “… just getting stronger.”

“I found a first aid kit,” Lane called.

Not counting on much help, Jenny reached for it and popped it open. “Okay, I do need this,” she said enthusiastically.

“I hope you found a damn obstetrician in there,” Sue nearly shouted.

Everyone has secrets, but most don’t have major implications. When Jenny tries to keep her weekend activities from Cal, the repercussions of him finding out land only on her. But some secrets are bigger and more far reaching. You would think that as long as Cassie, Sue and Annie have known each other, surely they could have no real secrets from one another. But you’d be surprised. The full truth behind one secret may never be known, another could change the face of The Landing forever.

From steamy sex to both playful and painful spankings, the people on the river continue to live and love and marvel at all that are learning.

Saturday Spankings - Annie in rare form

Welcome to Saturday Spankings! In today’s snippet from Secrets on the River, things on The Landing have settled down to near normal as they wait on the arrival of Allie’s baby. Annie seems back to her old self as everyone gathers at her house for coffee and muffins.

*Note to readers: I finally, finally have the rights to all my books back! I’m working to get them all back out on Amazon. I finally have all the On the River books ready to go and you’ll find their links below. Please follow my links. I haven’t  gotten my old publisher to take the old ones down completely and some are double posted. Just follow my link. Suspicions on the River has a new cover – which I think is beautiful, but the book has not changed. I’ll begin posting snippets from it in a couple of weeks.

Allie had no sooner taken her seat, than she was struggling to rise again. “Just sit!” Lily commanded. “I’ll get whatever you need,” she insisted.

“Great,” Allie agreed. “I need to pee. Have at it Lily. This baby thinks my bladder is a kick ball or something to stand and bounce on.”

“Well, I reckon that’s all on you after all,” Lily told her, laughing. She brought the hot peach muffins to the table and refilled Cassie and Sue’s coffee cups. “You want any more of my delicious green tea?” she asked Annie, before filling her own coffee cup and joining them at the table. Annie wrinkled up her nose at the offer and pushed the sugar to Lily as the rest eagerly reached for a muffin.

Just as Allie came back into the room, Lily seemed to choke. Then she spit the coffee back into her cup and raced to the sink. Turning on the faucet, she took in a gulp of water from her cupped hand and spat it into the sink. She did this twice more before taking another drink and swallowing it. All the ladies watched in wonder.

Straightening up and wiping her mouth, she turned to Cassie and Sue with fury in her eyes. “I’m gonna switch you two myself, see if’n I don’t! When did you even have time to put salt in the sugar bowl? Y’all ain’t never gonna grow up!”

Shaking their heads Cassie and Sue began sputtering, fear in their eyes. They cried out, “We didn’t do it!”

“Lily, I swear it wasn’t us!” Cassie managed to get out. Sue vigorously nodded her agreement.

“Done told you two I ain’t puttin’ up with no more your foolishness. I’ve a mind to call Mr. Tom and Mr. Steve right now. They get y’all fixed!”

“It wasn’t us!” Sue insisted again, quickly looking at Cassie to confirm that she hadn’t done it without including Sue.

“Lily, I promise. It was not us!” Cassie cried.

Lily hesitated a moment, fire still in her eyes. Looking away from Cassie and Sue for the moment, her eyes lighted on Jenny.

“Unh-uh, don’t look at me! I haven’t even been here in days,” Jenny said firmly.

Lily’s eyes went suspiciously to Allie who held up both hands. “I’m innocent.”

Annie could hold back her laughter no longer. “I did it, I did it! I got you and you and you!” she said triumphantly pointing at Lily, Cassie and Sue. “I not only got Lily, but you two look like you’re about to wet your pants!”

Everyone watched Annie in surprise. She was positively gleeful.

Hands on her hips, Lily demanded, “And why you feel the need to ‘get’ me? Miss Annie this ain’t like you.”

“I’m guessing that tasted just as good as this tea! And you were the cause of Andy,” dropping her voice to whisper the ‘s’ word, “spanking me when you pitched a fit and quit talking before Elizabeth’s visit. And I have a million reasons to get Cassie and Sue. This was so much fun! Now sit, I’ll get you a fresh cup and the real sugar,” she told Lily. Lily sank into her seat shaking her head as Annie trotted off to get Lily more coffee.

While she was away from the table, Cassie reached over to grab Annie’s plate with her untouched muffin on it, placing it next to Lily with a raised eyebrow. Lily grinned, then nodded.

Annie set Lily’s coffee and the sugar bowl before her then took her seat. “Where did my muffin go?” she asked in surprise.

“You don’t get none of my muffins,” Lily told her.

“But… but you said the peaches were perfect. Lily, they’re my favorite,” Annie said, giving her a pitiful look. Usually this could get her anything she wanted from Lily. Cassie and Sue had always felt sure that Annie was Lily’s favorite. But it didn’t work this time.

“You done good, kid,” Sue teased. “I’m proud of you.”

“Me too,” Cassie chimed in. “I have no doubt you’re still Lily’s favorite, but at least when you pull stunts like this, it keeps Sue and me in the running.”

Everyone has secrets, but most don’t have major implications. When Jenny tries to keep her weekend activities from Cal, the repercussions of him finding out land only on her. But some secrets are bigger and more far reaching. You would think that as long as Cassie, Sue and Annie have known each other, surely they could have no real secrets from one another. But you’d be surprised. The full truth behind one secret may never be known, another could change the face of The Landing forever.

From steamy sex to both playful and painful spankings, the people on the river continue to live and love and marvel at all that are learning.

Cassie’s Space series

 Cassie’s Space series

 

These ten books introduce Cassie. She is my friend and has been since she wandered into my imagination fifty-four years ago. She is married to Tom, the man who loves her in a way that makes my heart nearly burst with happiness for the two of them. He loves her, guides her, protects her and when necessary, spanks the fool out of her. I’ve been told that their adventures are exciting, funny and realistic. Their love-life is passionate and fulfilling – but you’ll hear no graphic details, Cassie is a lady and giving too much detail would not be proper.

Cal’s Law series

 

Cal and Jenny are one of my younger couple. The spanking in their relationship began mere minutes after they met, and Cal hasn’t let up much since. There relationship has it’s struggles, but these two are meant to be together. They live in the same town as Cassie and Tom and there is a lot of interactions among the character of both series. Jenny is not as reluctant as Cassie to openly discuss her sex life, so you’ll find a little more spice in this series.

 

On the River series

 

In this, my latest series, everyone is around – all the characters I’ve grown to love over the years are living on the area of the river that they call The Landing. Their lives, their adventures, even their spankings sometimes intertwine. By this time in the series, I’m just typing as my characters tell me what’s happening. And I love it!

These books do take you through time as it passes, but please don’t think you have to read them in order. Start anywhere. Just grab one and give it a try. If you are a spanking enthusiast, I know you'll enjoy it.

 

I’ll close today with a review on the latest book. This is one of the finest reviews I’ve ever had.
