A New Cassie Book!

It’s time, it’s here and I’m ready! On the River, A Cassie’s Family story will be out in January. January 8^th I’m being told, but I wouldn’t count on that precisely. I haven’t put out a book in over a year and I’m very anxious. Here’s the first look at the cover!

 

Many of you are familiar with Cassie and I thank you for interest in the previous books. This is a new series, with the same characters you enjoy. All my books can be read as a stand-alone book. I think I do a pretty good job of getting you caught up as far as who’s who quickly. 

 

For those of you unfamiliar with my books, I’d say you’re going to find much of what you’d expect. I enjoy reading and writing about a good spanking and you’ll find plenty in this book. You’ll find some hot sexy scenes as well, a little more difficult to write but I enjoy reading them once they’re done. But what you’ll find in my books that you don’t always fine in spanking stories is the love and fiercely loyal friendships the women share.

 

Cassie, Sue and Annie have been friend for more than half a century. Allie, Jenny and Lane are bonding just as strongly. I love blending the generations. The older couples show that deep love and romance can last a lifetime. The younger couple share the fiery passion of new love and it’s all pulled together with humor and friendship.

 

I’ll be posting an excerpt here before long and you can be sure I’ll be posting the link as soon as I know it’s out. If you want to get to know Casssie and her family a little better, I’d like to invite you to come to my other blog, PK Corey’s Reading Room. I share a snippet each Saturday for Saturday Spankings. I’ll have something up from this new book this coming Saturday.  Here are a few from other snippets you might enjoy.

The punishment 

What a girl needs 

 

I’m excited – I really hope you like this new book as much as I do!

Still waiting - and an interview

I love Christmas – and of course I’m still waiting on it! January 5^th is Christmas this year and I’m like a five-year-old peeping up the chimney every few minutes. We have had some Christmas already. We spent Christmas Eve with Nick’s family and it was a good one. I think everyone is doing all right.

My sister and BIL came on Christmas evening and I fixed dinner for them and one of Mollie’s old friends. Mollie will be flying cross country mid-January to be in this girl’s wedding. We had a great time, too much food, but it was fun.

I’m hoping some of you got some Amazon gift cards and I’m taking today to remind you of Cassie’s latest book, Cassie’s Life. Having it come out right at Thanksgiving wasn’t my preferred time. There’s a lot going on then. But if you have a little time now and maybe a gift card to use I hope you’ll give it, or any of my books, a try. If you’re still not convinced check out what Ella had to say about it. If you’ve read the book, or plan to, and if you like it, I hope you’ll consider leaving a review on Amazon. You can do it anonymously if you like.

Meanwhile here is an interview I did for Blushing when it came out.

When did you know you wanted to be an author?

It was a long fight. I loved making up stories in my head, but writing them? That sounded like work. You must know grammar, spelling, tense, even how to type! All I wanted to do was make up stories. But my characters wouldn’t leave me alone. They insisted I sit down and write their stories. Nearly a dozen years ago, I finally gave in.

What is your writing day like?

It’s great now that I’m retired. I get up, eat a bite of breakfast while I watch GMA and check my blogs and my emails. Then I make a cup of coffee and head to my sun room/ writing room. I gently shove the cats far enough aside to get to the key board and have at it. Often I’m staring into space or even have my eyes closed as I watch and listen to a scene unfold in front of me. Then I simply write what I’ve seen and heard.

Why do you enjoy writing series?

Many of my characters have been with me most of my life. These imaginary friends of mine didn’t go away when I grew up. I know them, I love them, and I still find their stories interesting. As a reader, I love series. I love getting to know a character, their friends, their whole lifestyle and see how they react in different situations that life throws at them.

When you finally win that big lottery, what’s your first purchase?

I want that beautiful mountain cabin. I want a large deck with a view down into the valley. I want to enjoy the cool mountain breeze in the summer and to sit inside by a big fire and watch the snow come down in the winter. I think this would be the perfect spot for my husband and me to live out our days.

What do you love most about books?

To reference Star Trek – it’s the closest we’re going to come to a combination transporter/holodeck. With books, I can go anywhere, be anybody, do anything. I can have a new adventure every day, or I can go back and relive a favorite over and over. Books are magic.

What books would sit beside Cassie’s Life and the Cassie’s Space series and the Cal’s Law series on a shelf at the bookstore?

My books should be firmly between ‘How to Improve Your Marriage’ and ‘Fifty Shades of Gray.’ I think a little spanking could improve many humdrum marriages, and that more people should give it a try. I’d want it next to Fifty Shades because that’s the only title many of the readers I’m looking for have ever heard. While Fifty Shades hasn’t been listed under great literature, the stories certainly intrigued many people and got them to consider reading spanking stories. I think they would like my characters and their lifestyle very much.

There are many different types of books even within the spanking genre, what is your favorite?

I enjoy most spanking fiction. I’ll read about spanking in historical stories, cowboy stories, paranormal stories, science fiction and occasionally stories about sex clubs with dark dungeons. But my all-time favorites are the stories that could really happen. These are the stories I enjoy reading and writing. I like exploring how spanking could be incorporated into a real marriage. Could this be your neighbor’s life style, maybe your boss, or maybe even you?

Whether you are reading my books or ones by someone else – please read!

Ideas and a dubious purchase

I have no doubt I’ve ask for help along these lines before, but I’m doing it again. Maybe we can all help one another. Christmas is looking us right in the eye. I enjoy Christmas very much. I like decorations (not quite yet, but soon), I like buying for my loved ones, getting together, hearing carols – I like it all. My problem is that my brain is completely worn out trying to think of things to give my loved ones.

I can’t be alone in this. Do you all have problems too? I have a wonderful husband and a grown son and daughter. Mollie will be easy for several reasons. One she’ll share a list with me as long as my arm and even without suggestions she has a new house. But the guys live in the big city in a tiny apartment and everything will have to fit in their suitcases or I have to mail it to them.

I’m not expecting you to come up with my Christmas shopping list – but could you think back over the past five year or so and tell me the best gift you got for your husband and if you have them, your grown kids. I’m just trying to get a sea of ideas started. You can leave a comment or if you have a blog tell me there.

Mine are:

Nick – Kindle, camera

LJ and Collin – toboggans with wireless speaker built in, Apple TV

Mollie –  Apple TV, stuff (toilet paper, paper towels, dish washing and clothes washing pods, over the counter medicines, tissue, shampoo, kitty litter) as she says these aren’t exciting, but they cost a lot. She’s buying the house and has no roommate, so I guess so.

Now on a slightly different note, I know you aren’t supposed to buy things for yourself right before Christmas but I needed a new

backscratcher – no, not for that. I needed it to scratch my back. I have a bamboo back scratcher and beside doing a lousy job scratching my back, Nick sees it as a great implement. I hate it, it’s all pain and sting at the moment of impact and none of the wonderful afterglow. So I try to keep that sucker hidden.

I found a great one! Best back scratcher ever! But do you think I should keep this one hidden too?

Don’t forget to give me your best gift ideas and remember to come by for some questions and answers from Tom and Cal tomorrow at the Reading Room.

And one more thing, there will be a brand new Fantasy Friday this week - and my new friend's arm is only slightly bruised from my twisting it.

If you're curious, you can help me

I guess you all know this is my online diary. Occasionally it’s exciting, most of the time it’s, at best, ordinary. It’s where I come with great excitement when Nick spanks me for one reason or another. It’s where I come to complain that Nick doesn’t spank enough. I’ve talked here about spanking, marriage, kids, retirement, sex, friendships, spanking implements, butt plugs, sex toys, writing, desires… I could go on and on. I past my eleventh-year blog anniversary back in the summer. I’ve put up more than 2,100 posts and I’ve had over a million hits.

This isn’t, however, where I do my ‘advertising’ for the books. When I put up about my books here or the two or three other writers whose books I’ve told you about, I don’t think that’s advertising. Talking about it here is simply telling my friends about them. Even if you are not one of the friends I’ve met in person, the community here feels like friends. Whether you comment anonymously or even if you never comment at all, you are taking time out of your day to read here. I think that makes us friends.

I do have a ‘professional’ site, PK Corey’s Reading Room. Now that site feels much more like a business. Sadly, I’m not very business minded. I only post there twice a week. On Saturday’s I usually post a snippet from one of my books for the blog hop, Saturday Spankings. I’ll soon be posting snippets from the newest book, but right now I’m in the earlier ones. Then on Tuesdays I post for the Never-Ending Blog Tour, hosting another author and other’s host me.

I’d like to try something new there and this is where you all could help. On Wednesdays, I’d like to put up questions to my characters. I’ve already emailed some friends asking for questions, but now I’m asking everyone. All my characters are opened for questions – Cassie, Tom, Sue, Steve, Annie, Andy, Allie, Ryan, Lily and Drew as well as, Cal, Jenny and any other characters that have appeared in any of the books. Is there anything you would like to ask any of them? I’ll be hosting this over at the Reading Room and I’d love to have you come by.

If you do think of any questions you can leave them in comments or you can email them to me a elisspeaks@yahoo.com  I have other ideas, but I just don’t know what all might work. I’ve thought of having a Pinterest page for Cassie. I am going to try to use twitter and Instagram more, I have accounts but haven’t really used them. If I get the hang of it, I’ll let you know.

My life is wonderfully busy at the moment. I’m reading a real, hold in my hand, book, listening to another on my phone, reading one on my kindle, and beta reading one for a friend on the computer. I’m writing for two blogs, finishing the edits on this last book and heavy into the third Cal and Jenny book. And I’m loving every minute of it. I hope you’ll help with questions and I hope you’ll come by the Reading Room on Wednesdays. I can use all the support over there I can get.
