Book excerpt: A stunning new collection of images and icons from the private world of S & M fantasy. The photographs are of women engaged in bdsm play - as dominatrices, bondage heroines, strict governesses, corrupt angels, and latex-clad Amazons.

Velvet Glove, Iron Fist takes the reader on a journey from 15th century Cuba to 21st century California, via Revolutionary France, Victorian Britain, Prohibition Era America and Nazi Germany. Along the way, the author finds uncanny parallels between today's anti-smoking activists and those of the past. Today, as the same tactics begin to be used against those who enjoy alcohol, chocolate, fast food, gambling and perfume, Velvet Glove, Iron Fist provides a timely reminder that once politicians start regulating private behaviour, they find it very hard to quit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lineville, Iowa, is your typical small town: box-lunch auctions, doors left unlocked, and plenty of gossip. So the last thing Lineville's inhabitants expect the summer of 1920 is murder. When snooty Sophia Vander Veen, part owner of the Mineral Springs Resort, is found murdered after the disastrous Fourth of July ball, not many people are upset. But Maude Lovett, a self-styled detective who prides herself in her shrewd observation abilities, vows to get to the bottom of the murder and the malicious pranks that led up to Sophia's death. Maude makes it her duty to determine if the pranks—a snake in Sophia's closet, a headless statue in her bed, and noxious gas in her suite of rooms—and the murder were committed by the same person. With suspects from bootleggers to close acquaintances to waiters at the Mineral Springs Resort, Maude has her work cut out for her and must quickly eliminate suspects in order to squelch rising fear. With help from her niece, Lilly, and her friends; her sister, Nell; and everyone in between, Maude labors to bring justice to her once-safe town. Upon questioning her final batch of suspects, Maude learns the killer's identity and then uses herself as bait in a dangerous trap to snare the murderous perpetrator. Surprising twists, a bit of romance, and humor laced throughout are sure to keep you turning the pages until you too discover the target of Maude's iron-willed persistence.

Download or read book Stitched-up written by Stephanie Vermeulen and published by Jacana Media. This book was released on 2004 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This feisty and inspiring treatise blames the destructive cultural myth of female self-sacrifice for the desire for breast implants, the conservative insistence on family values, and the general cultural attitude that prevents women from supporting one another's accomplishments. Using everything from psychological analysis to clever fairy-tale parodies--called "fairer tales"--the author promotes an ideology for women that is neither bra-burning feminism nor passive conservatism, but rather a belief in self-development.

Download or read book Fifty Shades of Domination written by Mistress Miranda and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For Miranda, it all started as an eight-year old girl, struggling to come to terms with the trauma of discovering that her beloved 'mummy and daddy' were in fact her grandparents and her real mother was the woman she had always known as her elder sister. Miranda would go on to develop into a teenage 'wild-child', experimenting with sexual tastes that, from the start, involved her domination over her boyfriend. The bright but wilful teenager ended up leaving her grandparents home at just 16. Miranda was homeless, penniless and alone. A stint as a receptionist in a 'working-girls' flat yielded enough cash to begin scraping together her education, but Miranda soon realised that her own sexual tastes were well-suited to satisfy the vast demand of submissive men seeking out a dominant woman. In Fifty shades of domination, Miranda candidly and humorously relates tales from twenty years worth of men, women and couples who have visited her dungeon chambers for fetish fun. At turns erotic, funny and searingly honest, this is not a book about sex for money; this is the story of a life in fetish fashion, deep psychological role-playing and the repressed passions that lie just beneath the surface of us all." --Publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first book in an irresistible new series introduces librarian and reluctant sleuth Raymond Ambler, a doggedly curious fellow who uncovers murderous secrets hidden behind the majestic marble façade of New York City’s landmark 42nd Street Library. Murder at the 42nd Street Library follows Ambler and his partners in crime-solving as they track down a killer, shining a light on the dark deeds and secret relationships that are hidden deep inside the famous flagship building at the corner of 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue. In their search for the reasons behind the murder, Ambler and his crew uncover sinister, and profoundly disturbing, relationships among the scholars studying in the iconic library. Included among the players are a celebrated mystery writer who has donated his papers to the library’s crime fiction collection; that writer’s long-missing daughter, a prominent New York society woman with a hidden past, and more than one of Ambler’s colleagues at the library. Shocking revelations lead inexorably to the traumatic events that follow—the reading room will never be the same.
