Saturday Spankings - April 19

Happy Easter and welcome to Saturday Spankings. I’m excited! First I have all next week off and second Cassie on the Move comes out next month. Check below for the new cover. My eight, (okay nine – but I’m trying) sentences today are from this new book. Tom and Cassie often cross swords when Cassie doesn’t share with Tom that she is not feeling well. After Cassie’s passes out and has to spend the night in the hospital, Tom confiscates her keys until “he knows she’s feeling better”. Cassie put up with it for a few days, but her frustration is mounting. At breakfast a few days after she comes home from the hospital that frustration boils over.

“ Give me my keys, I’m not your prisoner.”

“I’m assuming you’re well enough to discuss why you hid the fact that you weren’t feeling well from me,” Tom said quietly.

I knew it wasn’t in my best interest to continue being hateful, but I’m afraid that didn’t stop me. “ Good grief, Tom, I’m in my sixties, if I tell you every time I have an ache or pain we won’t have time to talk about anything else.” I was definitely releasing some inner frustration and Tom did not like my tone.

He asked, “Are you sure this is the way you want this conversation to go?”

I’d gotten up to take my dishes to the counter and I turned back and yell at him, “I don’t want this conversation to go anywhere, I want my damn keys!”

I know, I know – I’d yelled a bit, and cussed just a little, but I did not break the glass on purpose, it was just that everything seemed to happen at once. When I sat my plate down, maybe a tiny bit hard, my glass fell into the sink and shattered.

Hmmm… may not be the best way for Cassie to get what she wants.

Blurb: Cassie on the Move

 Cassie’s on the move and loving life. Through paint ball game in the woods and water park adventure she’s gets to know her new neighbors as the new house is renovated. 
     Cassie is traveling too, from trips with just the girls, to conventions, vacations, and cruises with Tom and friends, she's always ready for the next adventure. But when Cassie begins having dizzy spells Tom thinks a slower pace is in order. Getting Cassie to slow down and take care of herself proves to be quite a challenge. A challenge Tom is more than determined to take on.

If you're not familiar with Cassie and her friends her are her first two books. They can be found at Amazon and Blushing Books.

Blurb: Cassie’s Tale

Cassie continues to live life to the fullest, from wheeling around in her new sports car to mastering the art of riding a motor scooter with no hands, she manages to keep Tom on his toes. The fly in the ointment is that Tom’s firm wants him back for a project and Cassie wants him all to herself.  When Tom takes the job, Cassie is left lonely and bored – never a good combination for her.

 Left to her own devices Cassie makes some poor decisions, frightening Sue and causing Tom to lower the boom. Tom's new schedule for Cassie, including her getting a job, leaves her little time to get herself in trouble – yet she still manages.

Blurb: Cassie’s Space

Meet Cassie, a former wild child, who meets her match, and creates the match of a lifetime. To nearly all who know her now, Cassie is a vivacious, sweet southern lady, who is the epitome of grace and proper behavior. Look a tiny bit closer and you’ll see that Cassie has another side – the one whose language could make a sailor blush as she drinks him under the table.

 Thanks to her loving husband Tom, who even after thirty years of marriage, never hesitates to put Cassie over his knee when she strays too far from his view of ladylike behavior, few people other than close old friends know this side of Cassie exists.

 Cassie and Tom show that love and passion are not the sole property of the young. Love and passion grows and changes with age. While aging may bring on challenges – the love and passion between these two people only grows stronger.
