I sure could use some help

I’m very excited about the forth Cassie book coming out tomorrow! I hope you’ll read it and that you’ll enjoy it.  If you’ve been thinking about reading the books, but haven’t started yet, please know you can jump in anywhere! You don’t have to read the first three to enjoy this fourth one. You can start with this one and then if you want to know more about how Cassie and Tom met and so on you can go back and get that later.

 Now about the favor I want to ask of my readers. Most of us here in this section of blogland are spanko ourselves and by far most of us are in the closet about that fact.  It’s hard to spot other spankos in real life because we are fantastic at hiding our true selves. But have you ever wondered about a friend, maybe a family member? Maybe they’ve made a few comments that have made you wonder, but you didn’t dare bring it up? Maybe this book could help open a conversation. If you read Cassie’s River Living and like it, tell a vanilla.

Maybe the conversation could go something like this: “I had a friend on line (that would be me, so you’re not lying) suggest this book to me. I read it and I’m not exactly sure what I think of it all, would you read it and give me your opinion?”

I would love to fine a way to get vanilla’s to read one – I know that they might be horrified, but I also know many wouldn’t be and might really like the stories and the humor. It’s just that I have no way I can think of to let them know the books even exists, and that’s what I’m asking you to help me with. I think this would be the book to suggest, because in this one Cassie explains why this type of relationship works for her and Tom and how it can possibly work for others if that is something they are thinking of.

One of my friends and readers, Patty, was kind enough to print off some Cassie stories and take them to her book club one time. I was fantasied at what she discovered. Most liked the story and Cassie, but the room split along age lines about the idea of domestic discipline. Forty and younger were completely against it, while those over forty seemed to see it as an interesting possibility I say those under forty were still needing to make sure they had their full independence, while those who had fully achieved independence and confidence were more will to explore or at least contemplate the idea.  

Are any of you in a book club? Would you be willing to suggest something a little out there? Would you be willing to introduce them to a couple whose 50 shades of gray include their hair color? Do I have some brave souls willing to try this?  I just feel that there is enough love, humor and respect in them to generate a good conversation. No graphic sex scenes, but you still know that they enjoy an active sex life. I don’t want you outing yourselves, but if you feel you could do it safely, I would really like to know any comments you get back. And whether you tell another soul or not, I really hope you’ll enjoy this new book.
