So what does Cassie look like?

Cat asked:
If a movie were to be made about Tom and Cassie, who do you picture for their characters...oh and how about for the rest of the crew?


This is something I’ve wondered about myself for years. Cassie I’ve had in my head forever, not so much the others. The looks I have for them in my head could be portrayed by the following people, but in real life they aren’t all the right age.  Sometime you want to keep your own image  for the characters you read. I understand, I usually do, but if you want to know how I picture Annie, Sue, Tom and finally Cassie, scroll on down…

(And I'm still taking questions if you have any.)

Saturday Spankings, March 8

It’s been a long week, I’m very happy to see Saturday come around again. I like reading snippets and I like having a place to share my own. I’m coming to the end of the third Cassie book. I hope you’re enjoying getting to know her, Tom and their friends. Today’s snippet is from Cassie’s Tale, the second in the series.

When Tom finished a job he was in such a good playful mood he decided he and Cassie needed new spanking toys. This is something he’d not done before and Cassie was a bit surprised – two toys in particularly were not to her liking. Sadly one morning they ended up destroyed. Cassie assumes maybe her butt was simply too tough for them, or as speculated to herself…

Well, it was either my butt or my pruning shears, I’m not sure exactly which one caused the most damage, but as Tom came in from his run that morning, he found them each in about ten small pieces on the kitchen table.

I heard him laughing clean upstairs as he shouted, “Cassie what have you done?”

“I haven’t the slightest idea what you’re talking about,” I told him as I joined him in the kitchen. Spotting the carnage on the breakfast table I added, “Goodness, what happened to your toys? I suppose they fell apart from sever use. They just don’t make toys like they used to, sorry for your loss dear, but it’s not really my concern.”

“Malicious destruction, that’s what this is and it’s about to be your concern.” I laughed between yelps of pain as Tom applied the new spoon to my behind as he bent me over the counter. The man had way too much time on his hands.

Read Cassie’s Space or Cassie’s Tale to learn more about Cassie, Tom and the whole gang.

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.

Answers

I got a few question. Here are some answers.

Ronnie, from Heart and Soul, asked: I feel as if I've know Cassie, Tom and friends for ages and thoroughly enjoyed both books. 

My question - now you have the two books under your belt would you consider writing something different? Love,
Ronnie


Thanks Ronnie,

You’ve asked a question I’ve asked myself often. Right now I am completely happy writing Cassie. I have limited time to write and if I do want to continue Cassie I don’t have time to write anything else – I don’t even have as much time for Cassie as I’d like. Maybe, maybe when I retire.

I hope people don’t get tired of Cassie and Tom stories before I do.

Jan, from An English Rose, asked: What is the thing Cassie thinks she shouldn’t have been spanked for?

I laughed when I read this, Jan. Cassie doesn’t think she should be spanked for anything except for sex and fun! Cassie is not submissive, she realized Tom is the head of the family and has grudgingly consented to spanking in the marriage, because he is old fashioned and that’s simply the way it was going to be. But she still doesn’t think he should spank for anything real.

Question, was there a question?

March has always been question month on the blogs. I wanted to extend an invitation here  - I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have. If you’d like to know anything about Cassie and Tom I’d love to talk to you. Sometimes I get a question and Cassie shove me aside and answer for herself – she’s like that.

Saturday Spankings, March 1

I enjoy Saturday Spankings each week. I enjoy all your snippets and I appreciate you coming by to read mine. In this snippet from Cassie’s Tale, we touch on the difference between abuse and domestic discipline. Cassie has experienced both. Sue doesn’t understand the difference and occasionally flares when she knows Cassie has been spanked. 

“You are not fine,” Sue snapped. “It’s plain to see he beat the shit out of you.”


I don’t have the temper I used to, but asinine statements like that can push me over the edge, and it was with cold fury that I came back at her,
“I think you need to shut up. I’ve lived with a man who beat me and you all remember that time. Think about it, right now. Remember what it was like, remember what I was like.”


They all quieted as they remembered a time we all wanted to forget, a Cassie we all wanted to forget. I left them there for a moment, “All right, snap out of it, is that how you’d describe me now?”
    Gradually small smiles played on their faces and, grudgingly, Annie muttered, “I think you and Tom are the happiest couple I know.” Sue didn’t want to agree, so she said nothing.
