Saturday Spankings - January 31


Welcome back to Saturday Spanking. I’m back to find more books for my Kindle. I’m also hoping some of you will give Cassie a try. I’m sticking close to where I was last week. Tom had his fill of Cassie’s bad attitude at the doctor’s.  Once he got her home, he was more than ready to relieve the itch in his spanking hand.
“Oh, no,” Tom said, holding me firmly. “I think we need to have a talk. You’ve been keeping health problems from me, you pitched a little temper tantrum last night, you wouldn’t talk to me, you were extremely rude to the nurse, and your language was not that of a lady.” He’d begun spanking as he talked and the swats were coming hard and fast.
I wanted to answer the charges – I wasn’t really hiding anything, I just didn’t think it was really important. I didn’t have a tantrum, I was just mad at him. He told me not to talk, he had said ‘not another word’ I assumed that included speaking with the nurse too. And he had told me to be truthful with the doctor – and in my mind telling him that not a damn thing was wrong was telling him the truth as I knew it! But while all these things were true, I didn’t imagine expounding upon them was the way to shorten or end the spanking.


Cassie’s Conflict is available now at
Blushing BooksAmazon and Barnes and Noble


Blurb : Cassie is one busy lady. The new country club/spa has opened and the whole gang is enjoying all the amenities. That is until a new club member, Clara, begins to ride roughshod over everyone.  The situation worsens until it becomes physical, but even that doesn’t stop it.

Cassie seems to find little conflicts everywhere she turns, but it’s not always her fault. Tom is over protective about her health, sending Cassie into a tantrum. In addition, a few things happen on the girl’s trip that lands Cassie, as well as the other ladies, in even more hot water.  Through it all Tom is there to love and protect Cassie in his own unique way.

I hope you'll give all the Cassie books a read.

Getting to know Celeste Jones

I'm so excited to have Celeste Jones here today. Celeste was one of the first authors I found in our genre, and I have loved her books since I found them. I've enjoy many of Celeste's books, but my favorite is probably Becoming Lady Amherst.  



I hope you'll getting to know more about…

Celeste Jones


Give us your basic bio, whatever you’re willing to let us know.  

    A recent life change for my husband and me is that we are now living full time in a motorhome, traveling the US and working at campgrounds and other jobs. Our total living space is about 400 sq. feet, unless you count the great outdoors.
   The campground jobs are mostly part time so I have plenty of time to write and blog, so no good excuse other than procrastination to not get more books out.
    I like to read in a variety of genres and often read non-fiction books for fun. I knit and crochet and also like to cook (and eat).

When did you first begin writing spanking stories? Tell us about it.

    A little over ten years ago, I was at lunch with my mother. She leaned across the table and said to me, "Have you ever heard of spanking, you know, like with sex?"
    Thankfully, I did not choke on my salad. She explained that she'd met a woman in a writing class who wrote spanking/DD stories and thought it might be of interest to me. I don't think she thought I'd be interested in spanking, but in the writing.
     At the time I was newly divorced and when I learned I could write short stories and get paid, I started typing.
     When I look back at some of those stories, I cringe at how bad they are, but that's how I got started. One summer I wrote a 4K story every week and used the money to pay for groceries.
     After that, I moved and life took over and it was several years before I thought about writing again. By then, ebooks had replaced most of the subscription sites like the one I was writing for, and I saw an opportunity to write longer books.



Do you remember the first spanking story or spanking book you ever read?

My mother's friend, mentioned above, sent me several of her stories to read and I was hooked.


How comfortable are you with people in your real life knowing that you write spanking fiction? Does everyone know, a select few, or do you try to keep it private?

How comfortable? Not very. Three of my closest friends know. One of them is very supportive. One is sort of confused, and the other seems to have an attitude of "that's nice, dear, but when are you going to write a real book" which I don't appreciate.

In many ways, I like the freedom that anonymity gives me, though it is often difficult when I think people must wonder what I do all day long.

Some people don’t like to be labeled in only one area, but do you feel your writing is in a particular category? 

I write historical and contemporary. I think the one thing they all have in common is humor. I just can't help it.

Do you think you might someday like to branch out and write something totally different (or do you), either within the spanking fiction world or something else completely?

Yes, I love all the options that are available now with epublishing.
   
How attached do you get to your characters? Do you know what happens after the book ends?

Some more than others. I particularly like Sarah McLean from Becoming Lady Amherst, maybe because that story was written in first person so I felt closer to her.


Describe your ‘perfect’ writing day.

I wake up with perfectly coiffed hair and settle in with my computer, a cup of tea and some nice baked goods. My characters are cooperative and I can clearly see the whole story in my mind, it's just a matter of my fingers moving fast enough to get it all down.

This has never, ever happened to me. But, maybe someday.


With so many wonderful writers here I can get confused as to who writes what. Would you list all the books you’ve published so far. I’m assuming your books can be purchased through Amazon and Barnes and Noble, but let us know where else they are available.

My books, in order of release from first to last:


Underwear Probation

Her Birthday Spanking

Coming To Terms

Lady Katherine's Comeuppance

Lady Katherine's Conundrum

Milestones

Becoming Lady Amherst

Laying Down the Law

Corrected By The Colonel




You can find links to all my books here, on my Amazon Author Page


Another thing I'd like to share is that every Friday on my blog I host Spanking Stories Book Club where we discuss a different spanking book each week. Even if you have not read the book, there are usually general questions based on the themes in the book. It's a great way to get to know others and find interesting books to read. Here's the link to my blog.


Thanks PK!

Saturday Spanking - January 24


I love Saturdays and I love being part of Saturday Spankings. I only hope enough people are drawn to my books to off set what I’m spending on all the great books I find though the Saturday Spankings snippets.

Last week we left Cassie and Tom at a doctor visit that Tom had made without consulting Cassie. Cassie ranted so much Tom had told her he didn’t want to hear another words and being the obedient wife Cassie remained silent even as the nurse tried to do a workup. Tom was not pleased…

Tom got up as the nurse left and looked me right in the eye, “You better get hold of yourself, girl. You fainted last night and I want you checked out – I expect you to answer Richard’s questions fully and honestly. I’ve had enough of this behavior, it stops now or you are going to feel the remnant of my displeasure for the rest of the afternoon.”
I didn’t respond and Tom sat back down. I know my doctor well – I have no objection to regular checkups. Although he is very thorough, he also knows that Tom can be a worrywart. He swung into the room with a smile on his face. “Good to see you, Cassie. What’s wrong today?”
“Not a damn thing,” I answered truthfully just as Tom had instructed me. 
“Cassie!” Tom came to his feet as Richard roared with laughter.

Seems Cassie can’t win even if she does what Tom says!

Getting to know - Patty Devlin

I'm so happy to have Patty Devlin here today. I had the honor of begin able to post one of her stories for a Fantasy Friday, over at my other site New Beginnings. I'm happy to read here in her answers that she remembers that fondly too.

I hadn't realized how many books Patty has written. I've read many of them and I loved them. Her writing are very much to my taste.  Patty is well know already, but I hope you will enjoy getting to know her a little better. 




I give you...
Patty Devlin 

Give us your basic bio, what ever you’re willing to let us know. 

I have always loved to daydream and write. It just comes naturally to me. I love to read so I devour books. Sadly, for the longest time I had a hard time finding the good books, the ones that had sexy dominant men in them. The books where the men weren't afraid to spank a girl if she deserves a few well earned swats. The books that had those scenes were very few and far between. 

So, what is a girl to do? I had to add the often-needed spankings to the stories... in my daydreams…
I love to write anyway, so I spent a lot of time writing real books that I had to edit the spankings (in my mind) out of because they weren't socially acceptable. 

So, when I found Blushing Books, I fell in love. I found books that I could read. Yeah, spankings! And I found a place to send my spanking books!


When did you first realize that you were interested in the idea of spanking?

Young. I was a child and daydreamed about the cute neighbor boy and an uncle who really wasn't. (an uncle, that is)

Are you in a relationship that includes spanking? How would you describe it?

My husband and I have played around with Domestic Discipline for years. Now he spanks me for fun and for punishment.

Were you spanked as a child? Whether yes or no, do you think this affected your interest?

I was spanked as a child, but I'm not sure it affected me like that. I really disliked my father. He drank and so was very mean. The spankings he gave me were often cruel and even uncalled for. I don't know if that somehow plays a part as I desire my man to be very loving and kind, but firm.

Did you, do you, or might you use spanking with your own children?

We do spank our children. Not often, and obviously nothing like I am spanked. Most often we use crueler punishments like taking away technology draws. A spanking would only be used if the crime was dangerous and warned previously. I seriously can't remember the last time one of them was spanked.

Do you remember the first spanking story or spanking book you ever read? Tell us about it.
Yes, of course. It was Whitney My Love by Judith McNaught. The Duke of Claymore spanks Whitney for a dangerous and selfish incident and them lovingly comforts her afterward.


7. When did you first begin writing spanking stories?

My first was almost fifteen years ago. But it was deleted by accident and I never went back to it. It's been like five or so years this jaunt.


8. How comfortable are you with people in your real life knowing that you write spanking fiction? Does everyone know, a select few, or do you try to keep it private?

I am very afraid of the public (small town) knowing and speculating, forming rumors as they will, but all of my closest friends and sister or cousins know.


Some people don’t like to be labeled in only one area, but do you feel your writing is in a particular category? 

I like to keep my books clean, simply spankings, some spice but no actual sex scenes.


Do you think you might someday like to branch out and write something totally different (or do you), either within the spanking fiction world or something else completely?

I do write under other names, but I like to try to keep it separated.


How attached do you get to your characters? Do you know what happens after the book ends?

A book ending can be very traumatic for me. Sometimes I actually go through a funk of blues while I try to think of my next love. When I go back and read an old book I often get emotional all over again.

12. Describe your ‘perfect’ writing day.

Ha. These days it's any day that I get to write for about 2 hours uninterrupted (and my muse actually visits during the time).


13. When did you first begin publishing? What caused you to jump in at that moment in time?

Well, I'd have to say that it was after my story on your Fantasy Fridays had such positive feedback.


14. With so many wonderful writers here I can get confused as to who writes what. Would you list all the books you’ve published so far. I’m assuming your books can be purchased through Amazon and Barnes and Noble, but let us know where else they are available.

Books by Patty Devlin


Choose one of the two men, or take the return ticket and head home. It wasn’t much of a choice. Celia had worked and studied so hard to have a school of her own. And she had known that they might be a little upset. She knew exactly what they had wanted. It was stated very clearly in the advertisement and she could probably read and write better than anyone one of them. 

Jackson sure never planned to marry, and how could he when his name would be a disgrace to his bride? So why had he fought so hard to keep her from marrying the other man? He could have shrugged it off and gotten out of there, but he just couldn’t do it. The new schoolteacher needed someone who would stay on her tail and teach her a lesson or else she’d run right into danger.

But, he’d have to be honest with her and tell her about that no good scoundrel who had sired him. She at least had a right to know he was a bas—illegitimate, that the man who fathered him had left his mother alone to fend for herself. Then if Celia could handle that, well, they could work the rest out. Besides, there weren’t any other good choices and she simply couldn’t be without a husband.

Caroline couldn't follow through with the mail order marriage she had agreed to, so she switched places with the woman next to her on the train. Anxious to get home, she had more reason to hurry when she received a wire relaying a family emergency.Traveling with the Union Pacific across the mid- west was a long, hot trip and Caroline's temper flared at the man who took responsibility for the railroad. Her temper wasn't the only thing flaring - her bottom also felt the heat when Royce Ashby had had enough of her bad humor. A man's patience could only take him so far and it was quite obvious to him that Caroline was in need of a keeper. He knew he was up for the task.

Liz will do anything to get away from her evil guardian, and she was prepared to disguise herself as a boy and look for work as a ranch hand. When Caroline, a stranger on the train next to her, sees through her "boy" disguise, and begs her to take her place as a mail-order bride, Liz doesn't hesitate long before saying yes. It's got to be easier than working on a ranch, and as a married woman with a new name, she'll be out of her guardian's clutches forever. 

Wade Malone has been looking forward to his new bride for months, but when "Caroline" finally arrives, things don't exactly add up. For one, "Caroline" was supposed to be twenty-five years old; the woman who came off the train doesn't look a day above sixteen. He has a strong aversion to liars, particularly in a wife. But he's also a man who keeps his promises and whoever the woman is at his side, he's made a commitment.

That doesn't mean he's not going to handle his new bride very firmly indeed. Then, against all odds, Liz starts to fall for the no-nonsense rancher and his family. How will she ever keep him from finding out the complete truth about the switch? 




Charlie gives the cop who pulls her over for speeding and reckless driving the performance of a lifetime, telling him that her mother is in the hospital on the edge of death.

Trooper Vin Loveanu wants nothing more than to pull her out of the vehicle and comfort her, but has to settle for sending flowers to the hospital, only to find out that the mother is not a patient. Further investigation turns up an obituary for Charlene's mother from four years before!

Charlie’s lies, abominable driving and strong family ties continue to bring the two together. She can’t run away far enough or fast enough and maybe—just maybe she should be running to Vin—not away, even if it meant a trip over his knee.
(Included in the With Hearts Aflame Book Set.)




Joy hitches a ride headed to the Double R ranch looking for work. She is desperate to find a place to stay before the snow flies; however, she isn't prepared for feelings the large, sexy and entirely dominant man, who finds her, stirs up deep inside her. Living on the road has been hard and with her past, she should stay and beg for the job. But running is easier than dealing with her fears and these new feelings, isn't it?

Nick is used to being in charge, after all he has been the one taking care of his brothers for years. He knows just what Joy needs - and he's more than willing to put her over his knee and give it to her. Nick is also used to people leaving. He is not used to having a chance to change it. Can he find her, convince her to trust him, and bring her back? Will Nick be able to bring Joy into his home and his heart, and keep her there - for good, not just for Christmas?

This title is also contained in the "Naughty List" box-set collection. 





Tyler and Darcy's relationship is a complicated mess, even by modern day standards.

Sifting through Darcy's emotional baggage, on a regular basis, coupled with the responsibility to a son who isn't his own, can weaken even the strongest of men.

Drawing on his innermost strengths, Tyler resolves to put an end to the endless destructive patterns in their relationship and make Darcy an offer that will not be refused.

A resolution that lasts to death do us part...





He was rushing her! Everything was happening too fast. He wanted her to move. He wanted her to go to his fight in Las Vegas. He wanted her to fit into his life, but who was she anyway? She was a nobody from nowhere, and he was handsome, successful, he was going places! One day, he was going to wake up and realize that she didn't belong in his world. And that was going to break her heart. 

Tyler didn't understand her. He knew she loved him. He knew they belonged together, but her self-destructive behavior was going to tear them apart. He knew only one way to deal with that, and it involved a strong arm, a naked bottom, and a good, solid paddle. But what would it take to get her to believe in them?



 Choices Book Trailer


It hadn’t taken Jessie long to figure out that Gabe was the one for her. After all, she'd practically begged him to marry her. Now that they were married, though, Gabe had started laying down rules and asking Jessie to start making some tough choices. What's a girl to do when she has to choose between her credit cards and a spanking?

But really, Jessie soon wonders, who lives like that nowadays? She loves Gabe, but is it worth it? When Gabe asks Jessie to stick with it for a year and see if it doesn’t make their marriage stronger, she knows that she has to make some hard decisions. What will she choose, and what will her choices cost her?




In Harder Choices, (Choices Book 2) Jessie is settling into her DD marriage. Things should be easier but Jessie is still struggling with making the right choices. It seems she has harder choices now such as when to use her free spanking pass, or if she rather him use the belt or the dreaded bath brush.

For those customers who have been asking for more "pure" DD stories, this series is for you.




From Patty Devlin comes the third installment of her domestic discipline trilogy, "Choices." In "No Choice Left," Jessie loves Gabe with all her heart. She has come to realize that she loves the rules and guidelines her firm husband has put in place in their old-fashioned marriage. But still things can get pretty confusing. Sometimes a girl just needs time to think before making choices. Jessie makes a bad choice and runs away. So she has no choice left but to submit to a spanking from Gabe to prove how much she loves him.
