Mistress Suffragette : Diana Forbes
Mistress Suffragette
Sex and Suffrage Movement Collide in Diana Forbes’s debut novel, as her spirited heroine, Penelope Stanton, navigates the pleasures and perils of the Gilded Age.
A young woman without prospects at a ball in Gilded Age Newport, Rhode Island is a target for a certain kind of “suitor.” At the Memorial Day Ball during the Panic of 1893, impoverished but feisty Penelope Stanton quickly draws the unwanted advances of a villainous millionaire banker who preys on distressed women—the incorrigible Mr. Daggers. Better known as the philandering husband of the stunning socialite, Evelyn Daggers, Edgar stalks Penelope.
Skilled in the art of flirtation, Edgar is not without his charms, and Penelope is attracted to him against her better judgment. Meanwhile a special talent of Penelope’s makes her the ideal candidate for a paying job in the Suffrage Movement.
In a Movement whose leaders are supposed to lead spotless lives, Penelope’s torrid affair with Mr. Daggers is a distraction and early suffragist Amy Adams Buchanan Van Buren, herself the victim of a faithless spouse, urges Penelope to put an end to it. But can she?
Searching for sanctuary in three cities, Penelope will need to discover her hidden reserves of courage and tenacity. During a glittering age where a woman’s reputation is her most valuable possession, Penelope must decide whether to compromise her principles for love.

A Spanking For Lydia : Sigrid Katrinsdatter
A Spanking for Lydia
The erotic story of a young actress and her actor husband, and her first loving, disciplinary, over-the-knee spanking at his very firm hand. …
Lydia makes the mistake of walking home alone past midnight through Hell’s Kitchen after a theater performance, and arrives home to a frightened, upset husband, determined to not back down on an earlier promise to spank her if this ever happened again…
Read how the well-suited and adoring young couple find a compromise to his determination to correct her dangerous behavior by giving her a very sore bottom, and her equal determination to not submit to the somewhat terrifying prospect of painful physical discipline and loss of personal control.
See how the two come to a loving reconciliation, even though Lydia does indeed consent to ending up with a sore and stinging behind at her husband’s hand.
Sigrid Katrinsdatter is a pseudonym for an author who is a real-life “spanko.”
Happily married for 20 years, with two beautiful daughters, the woman behind “Sigrid” has a decidedly alpha personality in every other aspect of her life other than spanking (where she is a contented “sub”), is a trial lawyer specializing in criminal defense, enjoys cats and dogs, and struggles with her attraction to and simultaneous discomfort with themes of domestic discipline in other authors’ works, as someone who believes wholeheartedly in female equality and full female agency.
Yet readers will note “A Spanking for Lydia,” makes clear DD appeals to her viscerally on some level as a fantasy, when administered by a dominant but clearly devoted and loving alpha male.
Sigrid hopes to launch the characters featured here — Lydia and Charlie — into a romantic series of spanking short stories and novels.

Katie’s Journey into Submission : Tom Speed
Katie’s Journey into Submission
Have you ever journeyed into the deepest recesses of the mind – deep in the darkest shadows where the cracks and crevices reside – where passion, desire, need and fantasy meet? Do you like what you see? That is where we met Katie on her Journey into Submission. She has these desires, needs, wants and fantasies and doesn’t know how to appease them. Her remedy while in pursuit of these ideas is to research BDSM on the internet when she is not taking care of her daughter and working at the local restaurant. She is a pretty blonde with beautiful blue eyes that reach into one’s soul, and if one looks, hers is bare for all to see.
She moved from her hometown after a fall out with her family and set up her and her daughter’s life in Florida. She has been working as a waitress, has a nice apartment, a small car, and is happy on the outside. At night and in her dreams, she lives out her fantasies. She is kidnapped, tied up, and spanked or…..well you can guess. But by day and after work she begins reading everything she can get her hands on about the lifestyle called BDSM. She purchases tape, ropes…and other things and learns how to self-tie – but it just isn’t living up to her fantasies.
Then in walks ‘the one that got away’. Of course, he doesn’t know that he got away, but it is when she notices his bracelet that shows he is in the lifestyle that things get interesting. Her fantasies take an even more personal flight into the realm of bondage and punishments with him as her training DOM, and guess what his business is that he is setting up in her small town? Well you will have to read the story – yes there is drama, angst, pain and pleasure as well as a vicious Domme. Will Katie’s dreams become reality, or will the regular life drama take away any chance of happiness.
‘In her bed, Katie tries to stop thinking about bondage and spankings. Tossing and turning, she flips her sheets on and off. Finally, drifting off to sleep, she is startled when a young man walks over to her and pulls her quickly to the edge of the bed. Pushing her wrists behind her back and holding both of them tightly, she realizes her struggles are useless; he’s just too strong. Her nakedness makes her feel very vulnerable while he wraps white cotton rope around her wrists, binding them tightly together. She pulls and yanks on the bonds, but he has tied them too tight. She struggles against him and moans, but it is useless as he ties her elbows, until they are touching, fusing her arms as one.
Katie’s excitement is obvious to the intruder as her cheeks turn bright red. Smiling to himself as he attaches a spreader bar to each ankle pulling them about shoulder width apart. She moans as her desire to be bound increases, while her mind is in turmoil. Katie tries to figure out if she wants to be tied and fight her intruder, or is she frightened and needs to get away, before something bad happens. She feels the tight rope around her wrists, making her groin tingle like never before. What was happening to her? Is she really enjoying this feeling of helplessness or did she need to fight against her bonds and her attacker. She has to get free, or did she…..’

The Regnum Event : Roger Scouton
The Regnum Event
Sarah Thompson and her brother Germaine are competition level BMX freestyle bikers.
On a warm, spring, weekend day of their senior year in high school, while biking along the river, they make contact with a starship. However, the chance meeting was anything but chance; the alien had been observing the twins for some time.
The alien, Novo by name, is a Watcher. He travels the universe watching events and, without direct intervention, attempts to move events in as positive direction as possible. He wants Sarah and Germaine to travel with him to a distant planet where the king is dying, leaving his untested son to lead the battle against intergalactic invaders.
Novo wants the twins to use their bike skills to compete in the annual race involving bikes that fly. All the twins have to do is observe how the prince handles himself in the race and report whether they think the prince has the character to lead his people in war.
The entire assignment will be completed during the time the twin’s mother thinks they are at a BMX summer camp.
Of course, things don’t alway go as planned.
What is the magic of the Magic Fingers? : Michael Lambert
What is the magic of the Magic Fingers?
Parents often know just when to yell at their children, but it is difficult to know exactly when to sit and speak quietly. And if you do, what should you say in those rare moments that could help positively shape the child’s future?
This book brings each finger to life as it becomes a king, knight or other colorful character that exemplifies honesty, tolerance and other attributes necessary for a well adjusted child.
The intention of this book is for a parent and their child to enjoy the adventure and beautiful scenery before bed, and introduce the concepts of good character to the child in a fun way, and at a time when the child is most receptive to such information.
But the most valuable thing is for the parent to commit to spending a certain amount of private and quiet time with their child. Perhaps even holding each one of the child’s fingers while reading about that finger’s character within the book.

You Know What I’m Sayin’? : Daniel García Ordaz
You Know What I’m Sayin’?
This book is a celebration of language: Hispanic, Chicano, Tex-Mex, African American dialect, All-American Latino. The first half is poetry influenced by my growing up with hip-hop and rap and my American experience, traveling around the U.S. The second half is poetry influenced by growing up in the barrio and my Mexican American experience, traveling around the U.S. and Mexico. In the middle is the borderlands–part poetry, part theatre.
The first half is mostly in English and the second half is mostly in English with some tri-lingual (Spanish, Tex-Mex, English) poems thrown in.
My journalistic article and work from this book has been taught and assigned as required reading at campuses around the country.
El Zarape Press presents its first collection of poetry by the eclectic Daniel García Ordaz, The Poet Mariachi, “the voice of the Rio Grande Valley” (Texas), an emerging voice in Latino literature. You Know What I’m Sayin’? is a celebration of the common experience of language and culture transfiguring time and place and juxtaposing the politics of urban hip-hop America with the lyricism of rural deep South Texas, a retelling of ancient history sung by a contemporary voice. With an introduction by Fulbright Scholar Dr. Debbie Cole, a linguistic anthropologist. Mainly English; some bilingual (English/Spanish), Tex-Mex and pieces. Hispanic/Latino themes as well as All-American experiences relevant and appropriate for 3rd grade to college-level.
