OPENING EXTRACT
THE BED: Steven is under pressure to sell more of the beds in the shop where he works. His wife Gwen comes in handy when she annoys him enough to spank her with his hand and a paddle right there in the shop in front of the customers. The beds go like hot cakes and Steven gets a pay rise, while Gwen...

THE CHINA TEAPOT: Dan and Laura pick up an old china teapot from a country craft fair. They later find that every time Laura gets spanked, something strange happens.

DIRECTOR'S CUT: Driving through the teeming rain, Charles hurries to the home of his father, hoping he will be in time as the old man is dying. His father imparts some surprising truths on his deathbed, and hands Charles his last will and testament. But wait - Something is not quite right here! It takes a rather special encounter between Charles and the housekeeper to put things to rights and it marks the beginning of an intense spanking relationship.

THE GARDEN OF DELIGHTS: The ultimate pleasure for Mr Taylor is being able to conduct Mrs Bishop through the winding paths of his wonderful garden. Planted with a multitude of red flowered specimens, he takes the greatest of pleasure in making her bottom reflect a similar hue - once a week!

HOW TO SELL A MERCEDES: Heidi is ambitious and, as she starts her first week as a sales person in the car showroom, a customer intimates that if she will allow him to spank her, in return, he will buy the Mercedes E-class coupe. Heidi cannot refuse such an offer, but gets much more than she bargained for.

A MOTIVATIONAL SPANKING: Lydia is encountering the very common pangs of writer's block, uncertain as to where her scene setting is leading. A coffee break is called for and, as she confesses her lack of inspiration to her helpful husband, he is the one to become inspired - with mutually rewarding results!

A JOB TO BE DONE: Only two weeks into the first term of the new school and Amanda is in trouble again. She is sent to the Head's study for punishment, and receives a dose of the strap, paddle and the cane. However, the Head is not quite who he pretends to be.

MAGDA MEETS HER MATCH: Until leaving school, the fearless teenager Magda has led a charmed life, but a new job in the city means she must lodge with Aunt Imogen. From the start, they are at odds and Magda sees no reason to obey foolish rules. However, when she decides to ignore a curfew on her first night, she begins to see what this move entails.

MRS BIGGINS' BOARDING HOUSE: Christina's parents insist that they choose her accommodation for her first year at college. Mrs Biggins is said to run a very orderly house and it doesn't take long for her new resident to deserve the consequences of disobedience and to understand why. She is not the only one, as she learns afterwards.

A PAIR OF SPECTACLES: Totally uninspired in the essay writing department, Olivia is forced to succumb to a severe tawsing during which her spectacles fall off. Threatened with the headmaster's cane, it is surprising how she becomes more motivated - and effective - although perhaps not for the same reason!

ROMANCE IN A FLAT: As night falls, the swirling sea mist eddies around the watching and waiting figure. In its own good time, it detaches itself from the surrounding landscape and, entering the cottage, finds her ready and compliant. She begs, he obliges and the morning finds them reconciled.

A PERFECT DATE: Greg is loving his first date with Amanda and pushes his luck on the way home, driving deep into the countryside. Just settled in the back seat, they are interrupted by an aggressive policeman who makes it clear that Amanda should accept his solution. All is not, however, as it seems.

THE SNAKE CHARMER: Steve has everything a man could want - nice house, car, well-paid job - but something is missing. When he encounters a mysterious snake-charmer, he is shown his heart's desire. But will he have the courage to accept it?

SPANK PUDDLE: Rosie jumps in a puddle and gets more than she bargained for - she jumps into the world of Spank Puddle. When she tries to get back for a repeat spanking, she is disappointed.

THE STONE MAIDEN: Fleeing a cruel and unjust belting from her step-father, Bryony goes to the ring of 19 granite stones nearby (the 'stone maidens') where she had spent happy days with her late mother listening to stories of local legends. At twilight, the stones shimmer and shift, becoming the 19 maidens of the legend. They dance and sing with Bryony in joy. Before the maidens leave, they each contribute a precious gift, the answer to Bryony's troubles ...

SYLVIA GETS THE SLIPPER: Sylvia's first day in a new job gets off to a painful start after she needs to borrow some clothes from lost-property. Mistaken as a pupil, she gets thoroughly slippered!

TRANSFORMATION OF A DISOBEDIENT DAUGHTER - PART 1: Robert and Gwen are due to go on holiday but are distracted by their unruly daughter Cindy who has just been expelled from school. Robert employs Miss Madigan to sort her out, which she does with the help of an ingenious spanking horse and a very heavy leather strap!

TRANSFORMATION OF A DISOBEDIENT DAUGHTER - PART 2: Cindy's woes continue. She washes up very reluctantly, spurred on by Miss Madigan's judicious use of a wooden spoon. She is then sent to bed without any supper. She later creeps out apparently unobserved for a pizza, but her attempt to purchase alcohol at a bar is frustrated by an uncooperative barman and the sudden arrival of Miss Madigan. A mouth soaping and slippering complete her unhappy evening.

The solution presents itself ...

Traditionally, all the girls have to endure a rite of passage at such a time, which involves a thrashing from Angus MacDonald. As custom demands, she goes the last mile alone to meet him.

Part 1 - The Key

Alice wandered round the house, disconsolately clearing up the debris from the riotous gathering of the previous night. Her head throbbed and there was a nasty taste in her mouth derived from an overindulgence of alcohol and nicotine. Outside, the midday sun was obscured by a bank of leaden cloud, and the wind gusted in fierce spasms as heavy rain teemed down relentlessly.

"Typical British summer," she muttered, and made her way to the kitchen where she swallowed a couple of soluble aspirin in a large glass of water.

Eventually, all the dirty plates and glasses were stacked in the dishwasher, dozens of empty cans and bottles were deposited in the recycling bins in the garage, and the vacuum cleaner had done its job on the Chinese rugs in the living room. Alice plumped up the sofa cushions and looked around the large elegant room. Normality had been restored.

Sipping a steaming mug of coffee, she sat in her favourite chair by the window looking out into the garden, its sculptured lawns and manicured borders sodden with the downpour. The rain lashed down onto the multitude of bobbing flower heads, strewing the paths with a plethora of discarded petals. The small graceful willows in the centre of the lawn bent and swayed as the wind whipped their delicate fronds to a frenzy.

Here she was at 30 years of age with a luxurious house, fast car, and thanks to her inherited wealth, a very comfortable lifestyle. Having a bubbly personality, charm, intelligence and good looks, she had friends and lovers in abundance and a hectic social calendar, and yet, in spite of all these things there was something missing from her life. But what the something was, she had no idea. All she knew was that she had been searching for whatever it was for almost a decade, and if she were ever lucky enough to find it, she would know instinctively.

Setting the coffee mug aside, Alice leaned back in her chair and mused through half closed eyes. Perhaps she would have the dream again, the strange and somewhat disturbing dream that hinted of tantalising secrets just beyond her grasp. It had come to her so many times that she was familiar with every little detail, and of late, had found that with practice, she could harness her thoughts to plunge her into her dream at will. Indeed, she now felt that she could dream better and more vividly whilst being awake. It required considerable focus and mental stamina. She had to train her mind to remain alert yet relaxed, and not allow herself to slip over the boundary into a dreamless slumber.

She attuned her spiralling thoughts and reclined in that unique state poised between sleep and wakefulness, and almost imperceptibly, the fragments of her dream coiled into a magical and recognisable reality. With a surge of euphoria she trod the old remembered way on narrow paths, skirting the base of undulating hills rolling by stone-walled meadows.

The Secret Spanking Society

OPENING EXTRACT
There had been rumours, years ago, but they were promptly dismissed by the police. Nevertheless, the gossip had not been entirely eradicated, for such things would always continue to titillate and excite, and generate a delicious frisson of fear during whispered conversations. And now there was evidence to suggest that the secret spanking society was active again.

When a new report appeared on the desk of Detective Constable Geena MacGuire suggesting that the activities had recommenced, she was determined to get to the bottom of things. If she could pull it off, she could maybe achieve that long awaited promotion. Detective Sergeant Geena MacGuire. It certainly had a ring of authority to it. Geena smiled to herself, imagining the kudos, not forgetting the big hike in salary a promotion would generate. But there were others in the Division with seniority. Geena frowned at the thought. Fiercely competitive, she decided she would do whatever it took to acquire the title of DS.

Picking up the file, she put it in her briefcase. It wouldn't hurt to do a bit of extra work at home, given she had a weeks leave to use up. The office door opened and Inspector Morgan strode in - all 6ft 5 of him.

"Ready for off, Geena?"

"Yes sir. I'm leaving in a couple of minutes."

"Going anywhere nice?"

"Not really. Maybe I'll take a couple of days out, but the rest of the time I need to crack on with decorating my house." Geena blinked. Inspector Morgan was not normally so chatty. Still, it was Friday, and she surmised he must be looking forward to the weekend. "I might even get round to doing something with the garden. It's a real mess."

"Oh well. Don't overdo it. We don't want you taking time off with a bad back, now do we?" smiled Inspector Morgan.

"No sir."

"Right. Enjoy your week off. Cheerio."

"Thank you Sir, I plan to do exactly that."

---oOo---

After two full days stripping wallpaper and applying another coat of paint to doors and windows, Geena had had enough. Even the prospect of bulldozing her way through the tangle of brambles and overgrown shrubs that was her garden, seemed a more pleasant prospect than decorating. However, once she got herself outside and assessed the amount of work needed to get things ship-shape, her heart sank.

Picking her way disconsolately back over the cracked stone path, she was distracted by the emergence of a group of tall flowers at the back of the border. Recognising them as Hollyhocks, she smiled in anticipation of the spectacular blooms that would appear in a few weeks time. The previous owner had staked the tall plants in the ground, using rigid garden canes and green twine. At the sight of the canes, Geena was reminded of the file in her briefcase. Sod the gardening, she thought, as she returned to the house. Pulling the file from her briefcase, she began to read.

A Chance Encounter

She saw that dreadful man again. He was lounging by the wall outside the blacksmith's shop, staring at her as she approached from the opposite end of the village. His dark reptilian eyes glittered and his mouth curved into a mocking smile. She shuddered, determined not to acknowledge him as she passed. He made her feel uncomfortable. When he looked at her, it was as though he was seeing inside her head, scanning all her innermost thoughts and feelings, processing her weaknesses, storing them up for use against her. The villagers suspected him of having dark powers, but were too afraid to shun him outright in case he turned them into toads or dung beetles. There was certainly something oddly disturbing about Arkham Maksim, and as Kay hurried past him she kept her head down, eyes glued to the rough road beneath her feet.

"Mmmm, what a pretty little thing."

His voice was an appreciation of deep chocolate velvet. He barred her way, standing over her, a tall vital presence. Breaking her resolve, Kay looked up into an intensely expressive face framed by sleek dark hair. His eyes were mysterious and deep and brimming with surreptitious knowledge. At such close quarters he was an outstandingly handsome man.

She gaped at him, her surprise mirrored on her face. He took another step closer, and his wide sensual mouth curled into an appealing, welcoming smile. He reached out with his right hand and caressed the side of her face with his long tapering fingers, and with his other hand he stroked her dark waving hair, giving it a little tug so that she had to tilt her head back. Her blue eyed gaze was swamped within the darkness of his eyes, so deep brown as to be almost black. They penetrated her, searchingly teasing out all her secrets and fears.

"And if I am not mistaken, you are still a virgin," he added, dryly.

Kay blushed furiously. "How dare you make such a remark!"

"Oh I dare," he replied suavely. "I dare do anything." His eyes flared and then narrowed a little. "Anything," he whispered, surprising her by delivering a sudden hard spank on her bottom.

Kay squealed, outraged by his behaviour. She was so stunned she was at a loss for words. Her face beet red, she pushed passed him and practically ran along the road. His soft laughter followed her.

"We will meet again soon, you and I. Of that you can be certain, Miss Kay Archer."

Kay marched on without a backward glance, bristling at the effrontery of the man, and feeling a slight unease that he knew her name. Still, it was a small village; it would be relatively easy to find out who was who, especially if one happened to be a sorcerer. She would go home to her father and put all thoughts of Arkham Maksim out of her mind.
