I have been a wife and mother for over twenty years. Now I am becoming my husband's lover, too.
We owe it all to my fellow bloggers who gave me the courage to come out to my husband as a spanko.
I do feel like this is a New Beginning for us.

Writing Spanking books

I’m guessing that if you take the time to come read my blog, then many of you have read some of my books. I find myself at an impasse and I’m hoping some advice from here can help me find a good direction. 

I love writing and by far I love Cassie and writing her stories the most. She has not stopped talking to me, there are still
stories I want to tell you, but I don’t know if I should do another Cassie book. The last one – which I loved didn’t sell well. Not a real problem, because I’d hate to try to live on my income as a writer. But does the fact that it didn’t sell well say that people are tired of her stories or that many newcomers don’t want to invest in a ten book series? I also feel that the ending of the tenth Cassie book was an excellent place to end the series.

I loved writing this latest book, Returning to Us, for the Corbin’s Bend series. It gave me a chance to stretch. I have the slightest beginning to a one book about a disgruntled teacher (something else I know well), but I can’t decide where I want to focus my energy.



I keep coming back to the River. I mean I have invested a lot of myself there and wonder about starting a new series, an On the River series, with alternating leads. I mean I have Cassie, Sue and Annie. I have Allie and Ryan. I have Allie’s friends Jenny and Lane, and Jenny has a mother-in-law and three sisters-in-law who are all in spanking relationships! And I have Lily’s opinion on all of them. That just seems like a rich a pool to give up.

If I began a new series I would have to begin with these people as unknowns and build them up again for newcomers, but not take so long as to bore those who already know them. It’s an interesting dilemma.

So I’m really asking, which would you be more likely to read, a book with brand new fresh characters or more from the people you know at the river? I’ll probably go with whoever is talking loudest in my head, but I’d love to hear your thoughts. And please, to my usually silent readers, if you have read any of my books please give me your thoughts too. You can email me at elisspeaks@yahoo.com if you’d rather not leave a comment.

He made me think. And I HATE that!


I’ve been writing to Nick each week as he asked. So I’ve been putting some thought into what I’ve needed to say. There’s been nothing earth shattering so far – the holidays, babysitting, enjoying guest – I haven’t sat around contemplating TTWD. But evidently, Nick has been.

He emailed me a request. He’d talked about it before but this time he worded it in a way that had me doing some of this deep thinking that I don’t like doing. I can come up with hundreds of things I do or don’t do that I think would give Nick ample reasons to spank me. I don’t like to cook or clean, I get to bed late, I ignore clean laundry (that he’s washed) and don’t get it put away, and there are dozens more.

But this request encouraged me to turn the tables. He asked for me to think of things I would want him to change or do or stop doing if were the disciplinary. Part of his email read:

I now offer the opportunity for you to address issues that I need to consider (realizing that it may be difficult to think of anything(funny man)).  If you are able to think of anything, pick a day sometime this month and give me a heads up of a day or two to get in a listening mindset. Hopefully this will allow you to experience the difficulty in judging exactly how you think it should be handled, and perhaps the awkwardness of being judge and jury. And it will give me issues to consider towards becoming a better husband.

I saw what he was getting at. So I gave it some thought. Although Nick is far from perfect, there was very little I could think of that I would judge a ‘spankable offence’ if I were the spanker in the family. I finally came up with one thing he does that bugs me, but after that one I was down to searching for anything! I found one more, on rare occasions he rinses out his cereal bowl and leaves a cheerio or two in the strainer. Good grief! My husband gives me carte blanche to ‘correct’ anything I don’t like about him and that’s all I can come up with?

While I can spot my own faults quite easily, I now realize that looking at the one you love and try to point out their faults or things they should change doesn't come so naturally.  I guess it all boils down to we just don’t bug each other too much and we’re both very understanding of the other.

This all reminded me of an incident that happened over thirty years ago. We’d been married about three years, when I came home from my college class one afternoon. Nick gave me a funny look and asked, “Do you have anything to tell me?

I gave him a bewildered look and answered, “No, why do you ask.”

“I got a call from the Jerry Springer show today,” he told me. 

“They said my wife had something important to tell me. They said she wanted to tell me on the show and that they would fly us to Chicago and put us in a nice hotel for our stay.”



I was dumbfounded. “What did you say?” I asked. 

“I told them, no thanks. We weren’t interested.” 

“Why did you do that?” I nearly whined. “Now we’ll never know what I was going to tell you!” 

We both laughed and that was it. But can you imagine the furor this could have caused in some marriages? We just weren’t worried. We never did find out if it was really the show or if someone was pranking us. Perhaps we’re just too laid back.

I couldn’t remember the name of the show that had called so I text Nick. He reminded me it was Jerry Springer and added, ‘Did you remember what you were going to tell me?’

I told him, ‘Nope, sorry, but I’m still trying.’ Oh, well.

Nick did get me thinking. Nothing’s changed. But I took the time to stop and think. If it was the other way around I know I would never be able to do a good job as judge, jury and … spanker. Not with someone I love as much as I do him. So I think I’ll cut him some slack. I’ll enjoy our play time and let the rest of DD just sit there on the periphery. It’s there if we should ever need it, but I don't think it will  come into play too often.

Excellent Weekend

*If you get the chance please go by here. A dear friend is giving me a shout out and you can read an excerpt from the new book.

It’s been quite a weekend. Mollie flew to the big city where they're predict snow and bitter, bitter cold. She doesn’t listen to her mama. This means I’m babysitting for the cat and the pup. So her travels have been on my mind.



Second, the book came out! It’s Returning to Us, a Corbin’s Bend book. It’s doing well and I’m really excited. It’s always exciting as I hold my breath to hear what others think of it. I hope many of you will give it a try.



The third, and most exciting, thing this weekend was a visit from Katie T herself! She was in my neck of the woods and stopped in for a visit. She got to meet Nick and Mollie and all the critters. We went out to eat – because I’m not about to cook for someone who knows how. And of course we went wild and got into worlds of trouble just like Cassie and Sue and Annie… 

Well, maybe not exactly. But I did show her my little town. We went all over and  hit all the exciting places. When that twenty minutes was over we went to lunch. 




Later that afternoon, when Mollie asked what we were up to I was able to thrill her with stories of me drawing and Katie T knitting. But just so we don’t seem totally dull, I will report that we bestirred ourselves long enough to go to the gym and walk on the indoor track for two miles.

Maybe we’re not wild and crazy but we did have a wonderful time together. We discussed all manner of spanky things and it is fun to be able to discuss that topic with someone who understands. 

Now, please, everyone go read a new book!

Fantasy Friday - Another World

I'm so happy to be able to continue with Fantasy Friday. When I stopped posting every week I was afraid it would die out completely. But thanks to readers who still send me wonderful stories it continues! I love this story and I'll let the author introduce herself.
My name is Adrienne. I've been married to my hubby Jeremiah for almost 10 years.  We have two sweet kiddos.  I've had a variety of professions, but right now I'm a teacher at my kids' school.  I've loved Sci-Fi since the first time I watched a re-run of Star Trek (the original) years ago.  I'm also a spanko.  To me it seemed only natural to combine the two into a story.  This one's been chasing around my head for quite a while.  I know you might not be "into" Sci-Fi, but maybe you can derive a bit of satisfaction from the story anyway.  :)  Thanks for reading!


Another World

Mom, when did you first fall in love with dad?”
Allie cut her eyes to her husband and suppressed a giggle.  Phillip grinned in return.  Allie sidled over to her husband and sat down on his lap.  He gave her a peck on the cheek.  Even after nearly thirty years of marriage, Phillip and Allie acted like newlyweds.
“Well, Harmony,” Allie answered with a twinkle in her eye, “I fell for your dad the first time he ever put me over his knee.”  
Harmony furrowed her brow. She was well aware that her father spanked her mother.  She could not, however, imagine how spankings could be endearing.  “How could dad’s spanking you make you fall in love, Mom?”
Allie grinned mischievously. “I didn’t say anything about spanking.”
For the first time in the conversation, fourteen-year-old Marcus chimed in.  “You mean that there was a time that dad put you over his knee but didn’t spank you?  How is that even possible?”
Phillip grinned and goosed his wife’s sides, making her jump and giggle.  “She tricked me.”
“I did no such thing, Phillip Matthew,” Allie said with mock indignation.  
“C’mon, guys.  One of you tell us, please?”
Suddenly stern, Phillip said, “Marcus, Harmony, you both have homework to attend to.”  
“Yes, Sir,” both kids intoned.  They knew better than to argue with their father.
“Come here you two and kiss me, then get up to your rooms,” Allie beckoned.  “We will have to tell you our story another day.”
As the kids made their way upstairs, Allie was starting to anticipate a quiet evening with her husband. She sighed contentedly as Phillip began to kiss her all over her face and neck.  “I love you so much, Phillip.”
“And I you, my darling, Allie.”  Their pleasant interlude was interrupted by a knock at the front door.  Moments later, the butler ushered a well-dressed man into the sitting room.  “Forgive the intrusion, Your Majesty.  An urgent matter requires your attention.  Your father, the King, asks for your presence in the main courtyard.”
Phillip stood and placed Allie on her feet in one fluid motion.  “Henry, my coat and hat, please.”  Henry had anticipated the Prince’s request and already had his winter garments at the ready, including the Prince’s boots and gloves.   Phillip smiled in acknowledgement of Henry’s timely and thoughtful service.  With a quick kiss on his princess’s cheek, he followed the messenger out the door.
Allie looked around her abandoned sitting room and harrumphed.  So much for her lovely night in with the family.  Oh well, at least they’d had dinner together.  Finding nothing immediately presenting itself for her attention, she acted on a whim.  Soon she was curled up on the oversized chair in the library reading through her diary from a bygone era.  She rang for tea to be brought in and she settled in for a cozy night with her memories.
From the time she could remember, she, Princess Angelica, the King of Zophar’s only daughter, had been groomed to be a peace bride between her own planet and Sentia.  Her marriage to Prince Phillip was to be the end of decades of conflict between their peoples.  For the first twelve years of her life she had grown up with her own family, her own castle, her own servants.  On her thirteenth birthday, she was shipped off to her new planet, complete with new culture, language, customs and family.  Even sitting in her idyllic space tonight she could still feel the terrible fear and loneliness that had gripped her young heart the day she’d first stepped foot on Sentian soil.
For two years she had been groomed in the finest finishing school in the Sentian capital, learning the language, customs, and history of her new people.  One of the most striking differences between Zophar and Sentia was the treatment of wives.  By both culture and law, Sentian wives were subject to their husbands and to their husbands' discipline.  The type, form, or severity of the discipline did not matter.  From what little she had seen and heard, even she knew that women here were routinely beaten simply for their husband’s pleasure.  
Allie looked up from the old book, old feelings again gripping her heart.  How she had loathed such a culture where women were so devalued. At the time she had not been willing to admit it, but the idea that she would be one of these wives had terrified her. How thankful she was for the changes she had seen in thirty years.
Allie shifted in her chair and flipped several pages of the diary.  Tired of reliving the terrible feelings of those first few years, she flipped to the entry regarding the day she had truly fallen in love with Phillip.
“I had my second outing with the Prince yesterday.  He seemed nice enough in a stiff, formal way.  Truthfully, luncheon was just awkward.  How I wish I could talk to Mom about it.  
After luncheon, we walked together in the park near the river.  It was actually relaxing, and I was starting to feel less awkward until I heard screaming on the other bank of the river.  I turned to observe a man holding a young woman by her hair, yanking her head backward. He began to drag her away by her hair as she screeched.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing.  I wanted to rescue the woman who couldn't have been much older than I am.  I turned toward Phillip, expecting to see outrage in his affect.  
I was shocked to see the look of unconcern, even boredom, on his face.  He motioned toward the path and said, "Shall we?"  I don't remember exactly what I said, but I remember insulting his culture, his morality, indeed his whole planet.  The thought of marrying this veritable monster made me want to scream or be sick.
But then he did something that changed everything . . . he ordered me over his lap.  He sat down on a bench—in the middle of the park no less—and ordered me to lie across his lap for a spanking.  I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.  I just stood where he’d left me and stared at him.  I think he thought I was going to bolt.  Truthfully, I thought about it, but where would I go?
Before I could figure out what to do, he changed his demand, cordially requesting that I sit with him on the bench.  I was scared to death, but I forced myself to sit with him.  He turned to me and said, “Princess, has your father ever spanked you?” I couldn’t speak, so I just nodded. “So you understand that getting a spanking on your bottom end will hurt but will do no permanent damage?”  
I was so angry I wanted to spit at him.  What did he think, that I was an imbecile unable to understand even basic concepts? Of course, I knew that spankings were painful not harmful.  I turned away from him, but apparently not before he saw the look on my face.  I don’t know what he saw on my face, but I know what I saw on his: rage (probably because he isn't usually challenged by 15-year-old girls).  He immediately shot out of his seat as though from a cannon and stalked off, followed closely by his bodyguard.  
I was alone.  Before our outing, the Prince had picked me up at school and had said that bringing my guard was not necessary.  Now, with neither vehicle or bodyguard, I didn’t know what I was supposed to do, so I stayed put. It was probably an hour or so later when I realized that no one was coming for me.  I didn’t know my way back to the palace.  I panicked.  I began wandering trying to figure out what to do.  It was starting to get dark and I was not dressed for the chill in the air. I had no money.  I sat down on a stoop and cried.  
A kindly older gentleman found me and brought me inside his shop.  It was probably not wise of me, but I told him who I was and that I needed to get to the palace.  He brought me a cup of tea and said not to worry.  After what seemed like hours but was probably not more than thirty minutes, my frantic fiancé rushed through the shop door and scooped me up in his arms. One of his men paid the proprietor as Prince Phillip swept me out the door and into his vehicle where he wrapped me in warm blankets and tucked me under his arm.  I have no idea how long it took to get to the palace.  I fell asleep on the man’s shoulder almost immediately.  I vaguely remember someone (I am mortified to think it may have been him) dressing me in my nightgown and slipping me into bed under a nice warm cover.  
This morning, I awoke to the sun streaming into the window and Prince Phillip’s sitting in a chair beside the bed.  He looked as though he hadn’t slept.  He noticed me stir and reached for the bell pull.  Then he touched my face.  “Good morning, beautiful,” he said, “How do you feel?”  
Allie’s stomach flipped again even thirty years later as she recalled the first time Phillip had called her “beautiful.”  She laid the diary aside and let the rest of the scene replay in her head.  
“I’m fine.”  She answered, bewildered.  “I was just a little tired and cold last night.”  She had wanted to add “because you left me alone” but decided not to ruin the sweet moment.  
“Princess Angelica, I was wrong to walk off angry and leave you alone.  It was foolish of me and dangerous for you.  Will you please forgive me?”
The girl sat up, sure she must be dreaming.  The high and haughty prince was apologizing?  To her, his future wife?  Instead of answering, she looked out the window.  She had no desire to forgive him.  She had been so afraid, alone, and helpless last night, and it was his fault.
A waiter appeared at the door.  “Excuse me, Your Majesty, breakfast for you and the lady.”  At the smell of food, Allie’s stomach had rumbled, reminding her that she hadn’t eaten in many hours.  
“Thank you, Thomas. Just set it on the side table,” the prince had replied.  “I’ll serve.” The prince had then buttered a biscuit and handed that and a cup of tea to Allie.  The girl bit off a chunk of biscuit and slumped back against the headboard, groaning appreciatively.  Phillip waited a few moments while Allie ate before again broaching yesterday’s events. He decided to ignore the fact that she had yet to answer his earlier question.  
“Princess," he said sternly, "You must never go with a stranger anywhere.  The man who helped you last night is very kind and has been friends with the royal family for years, but what if he hadn’t been? He could have kidnaped you or hurt you or worse.”
In a moment, the fire returned to Allie’s eyes and she turned on him.  “What was I supposed to do?  I was in a strange city, I was alone, I had no money, no contacts, no protection, no way of returning to you or the palace or even letting you know where I was.  What do you suggest I do instead of trusting a kindly stranger?  Sit on the streets and freeze?”  Her tone was caustic and accusatory, but she didn’t care.  By the look on his face, she knew she had hit a nerve, and it felt good.
Rage again boiled within Phillip, but he tamped it down.  There would be time enough to deal with disrespect.  “One issue at a time, old boy,” he told himself.
He took a deep breath and tipped his head in acknowledgement.  “I know that yesterday there was little you could have done differently due to all of the factors you’ve described.  However, in that situation, the best thing to do is to stay put.”
She raised her voice and practically yelled, “I did!  For an hour. No one came!”
Phillip knew she was about to cross the line.  He barked, “Princess.  You get over my lap right now.”
She narrowed her eyes and hissed, “You really think that after the disregard you’ve shown for my safety in the last two days that I would let you touch me?  No.  Absolutely not.”  She shook her head.  "If my father had any idea . . .”
Phillip's anger got the better of him.  He leaned toward her, his eyes flashing, and he nearly spat out the words. "What?  He'd call off the truce and send hundreds more soldiers to their deaths so that his little girl wouldn't get her bottom spanked?" He said the final word in a mocking, sing-song voice.
Allie sunk down under the covers and covered her head.  She felt utterly humiliated.
Phillip took a deep breath and stood.  He began pacing up and down the room, trying to cool off.  It was time to confront the issue they had been dancing around.  He knew that his words had been cruel and before he could lecture her, he would first have to apologize, even if he was having a hard time stomaching the idea of apologizing to this self-righteous teenager. 
Schooling his features and his emotions, the prince sat on the edge of the bed.   He reached for the covers and inched them down until he could see her eyes and nose.  Allie's fire had been extinguished.  Her eyes looked empty, hopeless. Phillip stood and cleared his throat.  He paced to the end of the bed to put some distance between himself and her heartbreaking eyes.  
He deliberately made his voice as gentle as possible.  “I apologize for losing my temper . . . again."  He gave her a crooked smile.  "I know that I have a bad temper, and for that reason, I have three promises to make to you that I’ve already made to myself and to God." He ticked them off on his fingers. "First, I will never spank in anger.  Second, I will always listen to your side before I decide on punishment.  And third I will only punish you when it will benefit you.”
Allie pulled the covers back over her head and thought about his words for a long time.  Allie knew that Phillip had been right.  She knew that if she called upon her father right now, he would indeed rescue her, but no doubt her refusal to fulfil the marriage contract would mean a renewal of hostilities.  How many Zopharians—and Sentians for that matter—would end up dying because of her choice?  Could she be so selfish to sacrifice lives literally to save her own butt?  She imagined her older brother, lying face down in the mud of a battlefield, lifeless.  She could not let that happen.  Allie felt hot tears dripping down her face. 
She knew she had to act, but her pride would not allow her to acquiesce to this insufferable man. When she heard Phillip moving away from her toward the other end of the room, she felt panicky.  She had to do something before he left and contacted her father to send her home, setting in motion those unthinkable events.  She pulled the covers off her head and asked, "Don't leave . . . please?"
Phillip stopped in the middle of the room, pivoting to face the girl.  
Allie tried desperately to think of something to say.  Almost before she realized it, she found herself accusing rather than placating him. She could not make eye contact and spoke so quietly he could barely hear her words.  "You were angry in the park yesterday.  And you were angry again just now.  Both times you wanted to spank me without any request for ‘my side of the story.’”  
He felt his hackles rise, and he wanted to tell her that his anger had been because of her insolence. But any such answer would just cause another fight, and whether she realized it or not, he wanted this truce between their peoples to last.  He answered very humbly the question she had implied, if not actually asked. "If I had spanked you in anger without listening to your explanation, I would have been violating the promises I have made."
His admission emboldened the princess.  She sat up. Her tone was a bit louder now, though still very soft.  "How would a spanking today have benefited me?  It seems like it would only have served to shut me up."
Phillip realized that her questions were meant to show him that he had not made a good start on keeping his promises.  She was right, of course.  He moved slowly back to the chair where he had been when she had awakened, and he sat down.  He abruptly changed the subject.  "I've heard that your family's name for you was Allie.  May I call you Allie?"
She laughed out loud and looked him straight in the eye.  "I don't know where you got your information, but my family calls me Lica."  She shrugged. "You can call me Allie, I guess. But you’re avoiding the question."
"Thank you, Allie.” He reached over and took her hand. To his surprise she didn’t pull away. Encouraged, he explained, “When I asked you to lie across my lap today, it was to help you calm down.  I've seen my father do it with my mother many times. Usually it happens when mom is about to become disrespectful and dad wants to keep her from crossing that line."
The princess looked at him askance.  "So spanking her makes it better?  You people have very strange customs."
Phillip shrugged. "I don't know why it works. It just does."
 Allie pulled her hand back and again looked out the window at the beautiful landscaping of the palace grounds, but her thoughts were in much less pleasant places.  “I have been spanked before and survived,” she thought.  “My duty is to marry and bring peace.  If spanking is part of the deal, it can't be helped.”  She let out a shuddering sigh.  Phillip noticed a change in her demeanor and immediately feared that she was going to call off the wedding.  He was surprised to realize how disappointed he felt at the thought.
A moment later, she’d gathered her courage.  “All right,” she whispered, determined.  She remembered even now the feeling of terror and humiliation she had felt as she slowly lifted off her covers and padded across the few steps to Phillip’s chair. She hesitated for a split second, but knew that if she didn't act quickly, she would lose her nerve. Quickly and unceremoniously, she flopped across his lap.  
Phillip’s stomach turned a flip as he realized what this woman, his bride to be, was doing.  The trust she showed in surrendering herself voluntarily to him made him feel immediately and intensely protective.  
For one heart-sickening second, Allie second guessed her decision, wondering if she had just made a terrible fool of herself.  Then she felt Phillip relax and put his hands on her back.  When his right hand slid down to her bottom, she shivered.  She felt him begin to rub her back gently with the tips of his fingers.  “I’ll take care of you, Allie,” Phillip whispered very gently.  And Allie began to sob—long, racking sobs.  She felt all the tension, fear, and loneliness of the last two years sloughing off.  Finally, for the first time since she had turned thirteen years old, she felt loved and protected.
Poor Phillip sat there in absolute confusion.  He hadn’t even patted her bottom.  What happened?  What was wrong?  He sat her up quickly.  “Are you ok, Allie?"  She didn’t answer.  Instead she grabbed the front of his shirt in her fists and buried her face in his neck, still sobbing, sniffing, and gulping big breaths. Phillip just put his arms around her, patted her back rather awkwardly, and let her cry.  It wasn’t until much later that he learned that his reaction had been exactly what she had needed.
“My Love, wake up. It’s late.  Time to come to bed.”  Phillip patted her shoulder.  She blinked trying to figure out where she was.  She heard her husband chuckle.  “Rereading our rocky start, were you?”  He was holding her diary.
“I certainly was.  And I’ve realized something.”  She stood and put her arms around his neck, kissing him deeply.  
When they broke the kiss, Phillip whispered against her skin, “What’s that, My Love?”
Allie looked up innocently into his brown eyes.  “You still owe me that spanking.”
“Hmmm.  Indeed I do.”  Phillip grinned and took his wife to bed.

Thank you Andrienne! I do love a good love story in every genre. And I thank you for helping me keep Fantasy Friday going. If there are others willing to help, if you're willing to write out that story that is swirling in your head, we'd love to read it. Send any stories to elisspeaks@yahoo.com

Back to the real world

And with a deep sigh, I come off the holiday high and return to the real world. I’m lucky that I am one who truly loves the holidays and the quiet of everyday life. Right now with all my family back to work but me, I’m loving the solitude of my writing room, a fire and a cup of coffee.

I remembered to write Nick this week. Okay, I barely
remembered in time, but I made it. He thanked me and said we’d discuss it later. When it was time for that discussion I was asked to wait in the bedroom – I like that. It gives me a little time to reflect. It had been an okay week considering we still had a full house and way too much food around.

Nick let me keep my clothes on for the warm up. I swear I’ve become a true wimp lately. He is a very understanding man, acknowledging that the holidays and all that comes with it could cause weigh fluctuations and interrupted gym time. But as he pulled down both pants and panties, he began pointing out that it was time to return to the real world where these things would no longer be ignored.

I agreed and between little yelps of pain. I assured I would be doing better the next week – keeping better records on my WW app, getting back to the gym and working on having healthier foods in the house. He began rubbing and I rolled over so we could continue talking. After a minute or two I reached to pull up my pants. Mistake!

“And who said this was over?” my sweet husband asked sharply, rolling be back to my stomach. “You’re always welcomed to ask if I’m finished but to just decide I’m through isn’t your call.” To punctuate this declaration he pulled out this fun little number to finish up.



I think I’ll be asking if he’s through in the future.

In case I don't get back here this week, we have a wonderful Fantasy Friday coming this week. Hope you'll stop by!

My new book is coming soon!

I have a new book coming out. It’s should be available by January 19. Most of you who read here know that my heart is truly in my Cassie books. She’s the friend I’ve had forever and being able to capture her and her stories in the books has been a great joy for me.

Since Cassie and Tom are in a long term, loving and very stable relationship I decided to try something else with Cal and Jenny. I wanted to explore the beginning of a domestic discipline relationship and I’ve enjoyed exploring their story.

This new book is different. This is a Corbin’s Bend book. I enjoy the series very much. For those who haven’t ever read any of these books, Corbin’s Bend is a town in Colorado begun by spanking enthusiast. The lifestyle is wide spread and openly accepted. 


I’ve had writing in the back of my head since I can remember. One piece of advice I’ve often heard was, “Write what you want to read.” That’s what I do. My book have sex in them – but it’s not an in-your-face anatomy lesson. My books are about couples in love who feel spanking in the relationship is something that can bring them closer.

Cassie is my long time imaginary friend, Jenny and Cal are characters I dreamed up. But in this book my long time readers will see Susan is much like me. I have given her many of my hopes and dreams, worries and frustrations. Anyone who has read here for more than ten minutes will recognize this. Some of the book comes directly from post I’ve written, but chose not to post over the year. Because of this you can imagine the book is very special to me.

Be assured, I’ll post the buy links here as soon as it goes live! 

And now if we can have a small drum roll for the cover reveal…
