Welcome to Saturday Spankings. First, I wish you all a Happy New Year. Today our snippet from Secrets on the River takes up later in the morning of the day Annie disappeared. Cal advised Andy to check with her doctor and the bank. He finds out Annie is suffering from an ulcer and that she withdrew a large amount of cash from the bank. As Andy and the men go back to his house to look for clues, Cal encourage to women to think of anything that’s happened in the recent past that might seem unusual.
Cassie asked, “Lily, who gets the mail at Annie’s?”
“Mostly I do. Why?” she answered.
“I was just wondering. Cal asked if she’d gotten a letter or a call or anything that had upset her. I don’t think anything we’ve done could have her this shaken up. She’d just tell us.”
Lily sat thinking. “No,” she answered. “If she got a letter, I ain’t seen it.”
“No mysterious phone calls?” Sue asked.
“I wouldn’t know what calls she mighta gotten on her cell phone,” Lily pointed out. After a moment, she said, “We did get one call on the house phone a while back. They was asking for somebody neither me nor Miss Annie knew. But that was a wrong number I reckon.”
“I don’t suppose you can remember who they asked for?” Cassie prodded.
“Lemme think… some funny name.” Lily pondered a bit, before remembering. “Somethin’ August...”
Cassie and Sue both sat down their coffee cups abruptly and together said, “Amanda Augusta Dillworth?”
“Law, yes!” Lily answered, looking at them in amazement. “How’d y’all know that?”
Cassie was trembling when she answered. “That’s Annie’s real name. I mean the name she was born with. She said she always hated it and changed her whole name when she married Andy to Annie Leigh Holmes.”
Lily’s eyes were wide as she told them the details. “When that call came in, I told them I didn’t know nobody by that name and I ask Miss Annie. She say she never heard it neither. But ‘bout a half hour later I found her throwing up. I sure didn’t think the two things was connected at the time.”
Cassie looked quickly at her watch. “We have to get this information to the boys. Lily, do you have any idea when this call came in? Damn, who could it have been?”
“I got all that!” Lily reported excitedly. “I always keep a list of anybody what call on that landline. Even wrong numbers. I keep a notepad with the date and number and all if they give it. It was weeks ago, but that man did leave a number, I ‘member.”
“You’ve got to go get that number and give it to the boys and Cal. Go now Lily, this can’t wait!”
Sue looked sharply at Cassie who seemed more frantic than when they had first found out Annie was missing. “Let’s all go,” Sue insisted.
“No! I mean,” Cassie paused. “I just can’t. This has all been too much for me. I need to lie down and rest a bit,” Cassie told them.
Both women looked at her, uncertain if they’d heard correctly. “You’re too tired to help us find Annie?” Sue asked, incredulously.
Cassie reached below the table and laid her hand on Sue’s thigh giving it a slight squeeze. Sue caught on at once and said, “Maybe she’s right. You can move faster without us. I’ll stay with Cassie and you go on.”
Lily continued to look at them strangely. “You sure you two alright?”
“We are, Lily, truly. Please go find that notebook and get the phone number of whoever called,” Cassie urged. Lily nodded and left quickly to find the number.
“What?” Sue demanded the minute Lily was out the door.
Cassie held up her arm with her watch. “Annie just texted.”
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!
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.
And, of course, the links -
I am in the midst of changing publishers. At the moment only these books can be found on Amazon. I hope to have all the other back early in the new year.
