Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laguna Beach, 1973. Hal’s life as a liberated gay men has not gone all that well, and after a devastating relationship, he sees nothing but gloom, hard work and abuse from his restaurant job. He wallows in self-pity in the darkened rooms of his house, and only reluctantly rents out the spare room to the ebullient Mike whose sunny disposition brings Hal up out of despair. When Mike meets Tom who moves in too, Hal gratefully feels almost like a parent, as if he has a family to care for. Then he meets Simon with whom he falls in love after a steamy, erotic night together, and that phenomenon of gay life, the gay family, becomes a reality. Even the selfish and cruel Denise, owner of the restaurant where they all work, has little effect on their life together, but it is not a life without issues. Who is the Lurker spying on their house? Will Eric’s plan to snatch Jean-Jacques’ restaurant succeed? Can Carl finally figure out his sexuality? Can Norman keep his housewarming party a secret from Dan and why would he want to? Find out who next will drop into the warm and hospitable House on Shadow Lane for a breakfast chat, good food, and genuine friendship. REVIEW of The House on Shadow Lane: Peopled with such interesting and varied characters, the plot of The House on Shadow Lane required a skillful hand to keep events moving at its almost frantic pace while remaining believable. As Robert Heylmun weaves the lives of his characters into the nap of his plot, their connections produce the complicated, even twisted, events that make the novel so intriguing. How, the reader wonders, will the romance developing between Hal and Simon survive the challenges they face? How will Carl, who is "in love two people of different genders" decide? While readers have likely never know such characters or situations, the author ́s ingenious interplay cements the reader ́s interest. As a result, readers will likely share on finishing The House on Shadow Lane, a "joyful sense of loss" that paradoxically occurs whenever I finish a novel I have much enjoyed. Good stories like this leave the reader to ponder what will happen next to those characters. I knew I would like this book. –Michael Dryden

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horror comes in many flavors: Frankenstein, Dracula, ghosts, zombies, delusion, hallucinations, phobias. Then there’s The House on 666 Shadow Lane. For a hundred years, the house stood proud, harboring devoted families like the Carsons, the Smiths, the Marshals, the Hendersons, and dozens of other proud owners who called it home. Lawns mowed to perfection; pampered gardens of roses, dahlias, azaleas, and violets added to the house’s pride. Overnight, pride turned to shame. Sunny days that once invited friendly shadows now gave way to darkness and repugnance. Green lawns turned brown; elegant flowers withered and died. Tall maple limbs that once danced in the wind to show their wealth of green leaves now dripped blood that replaced the sugars and salts needed to give them life. Now lifeless, the limbs morphed into tortuous, deformed hands with twisted fingers. All because The House on Shadow Lane knew HE was coming. Hughes’ other novels are THE MAFIA and JONNY BLUE, THE WEDJAT, MULBERRY STREET, CRAVEN, EXODUS CONSPIRACY, and DARCY MILLER.

Book excerpt: Laguna Beach, California -- 1978 The house on Myrtle Street—not quite like the old and beloved one on Shadow Lane—but the family resumes its comfortable breakfasts there with Hal and Simon. The dark shadow of gay prejudice dims their lives, however. A ballot measure that would allow schools to fire their gay teachers threatens Hal’s career, complicated by his need to help a gay student who is being abused at home. A hateful fundamentalist church, inspired by the likes of Anita Bryant, makes no secret about its anti-gay agenda. The guest cottage in the back yard—is it the ghosts of ancient murder victims who are haunting the place, or spies determined to ruin Hal? Meet Bertrand, the would-be diva and egocentric actor who lives next door, whose life is changed by forces he cannot entirely understand. Meet up again with the indomitable Denise, still up to her old and nasty plots while dressing like nobody else. Have brunch at The Blue Cove, visit the Pageant of the Masters, go on a memorable weekend to Palm Springs, help Hal and Simon review a unique restaurant, find out what nights on the beach reveal, and catch up with many other friends and neighbors who live and work and love in Laguna, and who are proud to be called Lagunatics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shadow Lane presents an exquisite photo album depicting the art of spanking in the 21st century. A spanking video production company and publishing house since the late 1980's, Shadow Lane is headed by Eve Howard, a former spanking model, editor of both "Spank Hard" and "Stand Corrected" magazines and author of the Shadow Lane novel series. Shadow Lane has always identified with the "romance of discipline" and this has long rendered its products of particular interest to female spanking enthusiasts chary of the harsher profile of contemporary BDSM. The photography in this soft cover book is wholly devoted to spanking perfection, ranging from the classically traditional to the evocatively fetishistic, with the emphasis on fully clad good looking man spanking enchanting bare bottomed girl, in the most popular American spanking position, over the knee. Departments include: the world's most bewitching female spanking submissives, counter posed with their handsomest tops, a gallery of never before published Brian Tarsis spanking illustrations, girls spanked in uniform, cheeky views from the rear, nude spanking, clinical spanking, double spankings and women who spank women. "Shadow Lane's The Art of Spanking Volume One" is a 64-page, all color portfolio of genuine corporal punishment erotica for the discriminating viewer of the whole spanking picture, including those meaningful expressions that say so much about the general attitude of a scene. This is not a book of disembodied bottoms, but of human beings with personality and heart, interacting in a fabulous action fetish that includes an entire sub-culture of its own. Many spanking people who discover Shadow Lane for the first time feel as though they've come home to friends. These charming images, along with Eve's explanatory notes, which put the scenarios into a cultural perspective, will speak to the spanking enthusiast who knows deep down that there is absolutely no reason not to feel good about being into spanking in the 21st century. About the Author: Eve Howard has been writing and producing spanking erotica since the 1980's. Eve has written, directed and produced over 155 spanking videos and hosted over thirty gala balls for enthusiasts. Many spanking fans have discovered the real life spanking scene by following the same patterns of social networking as described in the Shadow Lane novels and the Shadow Lane personal ads network has been one of the primary social organs of the real life spanking scene for the past twenty years. There are ten titles in the Shadow Lane novel series so far and Eve is currently working on Volume Two of "Shadow Lane's The Art of Spanking." She lives with her husband Tony Elka and their cats in Las Vegas.

Cassandra has a plan to open a players’ club in the village, but it takes composer Anthony Newton’s wealth to make it materialize in the best taste and style. Not only does Anthony purchase the perfect property for Cassandra’s salon, furnish it lavishly and lure the magnetic Hope Lawrence away from the bookstore to be assistant manager, but Cassandra’s handsome new patron also bestows many intimate caresses on the lovable mistress of the house, who hasn’t quite figured out if she’s a bottom or top, but is willing to give both a try. Meanwhile, Amanda and Colby tour Italy, cross paths with Susan and Diana in a Paris hotel, play in Club Doma in The Hague, and provoke a shy couple in Hammerfest to spank by the midnight sun. While abroad, Amanda learns of her mother’s interesting adventures, which include seducing Michael Flagg and other hot men belonging to fierce resident Random Point beauties. When Amanda and Colby return to Cape Cod in August, they are swept up in the excitement of the first party to be held in the new Venus Club, celebrating both the club’s opening and Amanda Sands’ nineteenth birthday. Rogue Mistress presents a piquant buffet of bite-sized fetish confections, balanced by substantial servings of free love, modern romance and scene satire. Featuring a fabulous finale with all the favorite Shadow Lane characters together in one luxe play space for the spanking party of all time.

Book excerpt: Hollywood High School teacher David Lawrence falls madly in love with a stunning blonde B&D club girl, marries her and they move to Random Point, Massachusetts. Sexy and mischievous Hope Lawrence begins to run the coffee bar at Marguerite Alexander's bookshop and soon has Hugo, Michael, Malcolm and Sloan mad to spank her. David begins teaching at the local prep school and rapidly uncovers the hidden bad girl in a voluptuous female guidance counselor. Meanwhile, his most sexually precocious student sets her cap for her affable instructor, not counting on finding a strict disciplinarian in lieu of a lover, but eager to feel the good of it. The handsome new couple in the small New England village radiate a Santa Ana's worth of California heat as they captivate the equally provocative locals with their hard-wired spanking ways. Meanwhile, the charming school counselor finds herself being courted by a masterful department store owner, sadly lacking in political correctness but suave to a fault when it comes to turning a beautiful woman over his knee. About the Author: In Random Point, everything is linked to spanking and this is true for the author of the Shadow Lane novels as well. Eve Howard has been writing and producing spanking erotica since the 1980's. Eve has written, directed and produced over 140 spanking videos. Female-friendly and designed to make people feel good, rather than guilty, about being into spanking, Eve suggests an irreverent alternative to the all or nothing B&D subculture portrayed in such beloved classics as The Story of O. Many spanking fans have discovered the real life spanking scene by following the same patterns of social networking as described in the Shadow Lane novels. And for almost twenty years, Eve's company Shadow Lane has been one of the primary social organs of the real life spanking scene. There are nine titles in the Shadow Lane series and Eve is currently working on Volume 10. She lives with her husband Tony Elka and their three cats in Las Vegas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond their status as classic children’s stories, Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books play a significant role in American culture that most people cannot begin to appreciate. Millions of children have sampled the books in school; played out the roles of Laura and Mary; or visited Wilder homesites with their parents, who may be fans themselves. Yet, as Anita Clair Fellman shows, there is even more to this magical series with its clear emotional appeal: a covert political message that made many readers comfortable with the resurgence of conservatism in the Reagan years and beyond. In Little House, Long Shadow, a leading Wilder scholar offers a fresh interpretation of the Little House books that examines how this beloved body of children’s literature found its way into many facets of our culture and consciousness—even influencing the responsiveness of Americans to particular political views. Because both Wilder and her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, opposed the New Deal programs being implemented during the period in which they wrote, their books reflect their use of family history as an argument against the state’s protection of individuals from economic uncertainty. Their writing emphasized the isolation of the Ingalls family and the family’s resilience in the face of crises and consistently equated self-sufficiency with family acceptance, security, and warmth. Fellman argues that the popularity of these books—abetted by Lane’s overtly libertarian views—helped lay the groundwork for a negative response to big government and a positive view of political individualism, contributing to the acceptance of contemporary conservatism while perpetuating a mythic West. Beyond tracing the emergence of this influence in the relationship between Wilder and her daughter, Fellman explores the continuing presence of the books—and their message—in modern cultural institutions from classrooms to tourism, newspaper editorials to Internet message boards. Little House, Long Shadow shows how ostensibly apolitical artifacts of popular culture can help explain shifts in political assumptions. It is a pioneering look at the dissemination of books in our culture that expands the discussion of recent political transformations—and suggests that sources other than political rhetoric have contributed to Americans’ renewed appreciation of individualist ideals.

Believing there's a skeleton haunting Shadows Lane, the children are shocked to learn the truth about 'Boney' - he's an escaped prisoner of war. But someone else is also hiding in the village - someone much more dangerous. Tense and chilling, this is another fantastically gripping tale from the award-winning author of Room 13 and Stone Cold.

Book excerpt: Shadow Lane Volume 1: When Susan and Laura Ross become the protegees of sophisticated magazine publisher Hugo Sands, their adventures in the spanking scene begin. In search of the perfect dominant-submissive relationship, the two sisters, along with their glamorous friend and mentor, Marguerite Alexander, experience the most voluptuous disciplinary encounters imaginable with a series of disarmingly masterful men from Cape Cod to Boston to New York. The female libertines of Random Point seek a standard of excellence in their tops that combines forcefulness and chivalry in equal parts and the search proves a complete education in the culture of corporal punishment. Shadow Lane Volume 2: All Susan Ross ever wanted was a handsome and masterful lover who would turn her over his knee now and then without trying to control her life. She ends up with three of them in the second volume of Shadow Lane, the ongoing chronicle of romantic discipline set in a village on Cape Cod. Bad girl episodes include: the old-fashioned schooling of Jane by Hugo, the sensuous surrender of Marguerite to Michael, the impertinent seduction of Sherman by Susan, Laura's naughtiness and subsequent correction, the radical adventure of Damaris in the Hollywood B&D house and Susan's public spanking from Anthony at the Hellfire Club, NYC. The final chapter brings all together for a dramatic climax in which Susan plays an unexpected role. About the Author: In Random Point, everything is linked to spanking and this is true for the author of the Shadow Lane novels as well.
