They are intimately tied to human relationships as they strengthen or weaken the stuff that binds us. The beginnings that impact on Greg and Charly unfold in the pages to come. Yet, these are not necessarily unique experiences and readers will relate to their own beginnings and beginnings of the end. However, I am getting ahead of myself. I would like to tell about the circumstances of my world just before my beginning and the woman of my life, Charly… About the Author: In addition to Beginnings and Mirror, Mirror at 1600 D.C., Edward Galluzzi has also authored the following works which are soon to be published by CCB Publishing: Side Stepping the Rules and Twelve Upon A Time.

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: A lifelong enthusiast, Eve Howard has been writing, editing and creating spanking erotica since the 1980’s. There are 10 previous volumes in the Shadow Lane series as well as a pictorial publication called Shadow Lane’s The Art of Spanking Volume One. Eve has also written, directed and produced over 170 spanking videos and has recently returned to the small screen as a performer in some her own productions. Designed to make people feel good, rather than guilty about being into spanking, Eve’s books suggest an irreverent alternative to the BDSM extremes portrayed in such novels as The Story of O. Eve was the editor of the beautifully designed Stand Corrected magazine, which raised the bar for spanking publications in the 1990’s. And for over 20 years, Eve’s company Shadow Lane has been one of the primary social organs of the real-life spanking scene, throwing annual gala events for fellow enthusiasts to come together and celebrate the spicy variation that has preoccupied them for so long. Eve lives with her husband Tony and their two cats in Las Vegas.

As a young child of the Oglala Lakota Sioux, Black Elk had been given a mighty vision which would lead him on a personal journey that lasted his entire life. Although Black Elk’s vision was a prophetic message telling the terrible future of his tribe, it also held positive aspects that must be reclaimed. It is through this reclamation that the guiding beacons given to him reveal an ancient pathway woven into the images of the West. By exploring Black Elk’s eyewitness account of the crucial events of that time, the author discovered a series of metaphorical footprints that show us the way toward inner strength and a balanced life…125 years later. To help with an interpretation of Black Elk’s account, the author invoked the insight of Joseph Campbell, one of the world’s foremost authorities on societal ideologies. Through his understanding of symbol and metaphor Campbell was able to examine the metaphorical footprints and provide us with a twenty-first century “spin” that a simple man generations before could only imagine. This book offers a new look at Black Elk’s footprints and together with the insight of Joseph Campbell, presents an inward path to the positive forces within each of us, waiting for discovery.

Charming young spanking enthusiast Amanda Sands begins her college education in Boston, but not before making a pilgrimage to Random Point, to surprise magazine publisher Hugo Sands with the fact of her existence. Completely disarmed by the engaging coed, Hugo not only helps Amanda get connected in the scene, but also verges on being a bad influence on the well-bred and willowy blonde. Laid siege to by the alpha males in her dorm, the intelligent Amanda knows what she likes and selects only those young men who seem likely to turn a girl over a knee. Playing at school with her classmates and at large in Boston and out on the cape with more seasoned dominant men, Amanda begins piling up enough spanking adventures to keep an extremely racy diary, which the reader will follow with interest. Amanda’s friend Thalia develops a strong crush on Hugo that resolves itself in bad behavior all around and seriously impedes Hugo’s campaign to win Laura Random’s hand. Meanwhile, Amanda artfully pulls the strings of her most unlikely suitor, a gruff Harvard jock that suffers keenly at her whim until the day the tables turn. The tenth volume in the Shadow Lane series abounds in traditional over the knee spanking, luxurious fetishism, seductive repartee, virile sexuality and irrepressible romance. 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 eleven titles in the Shadow Lane series and Eve is currently working on Volume 12, and in 2010 a pictorial publication was published called Shadow Lane’s The Art of Spanking Volume One. She lives with her husband Tony Elka and their three cats in Las Vegas.

Read Assure takes advantage of the best asset all children have in abundance: tremendous brain power hungry for challenges. Children as young as four have successfully mastered reading English through phonics using Read Assure. The ability to read raises children’s confidence and leads to a love of reading and the desire to devour ever more challenging material. Parents have recognized that starting their children on the road to mastering English gives young learners the necessary tools to become active and engaged players in an increasingly competitive world. Read Assure provides an entry point by which young learners can pick up any English book – from picture books to more challenging works – and read them with delight. Having tried and tested this volume on numerous children with great success, the author can say without hesitation that this may be just what your child needs to develop a lifelong love of and proficiency in the English language. About the Author: Everett Ofori, MBA is a Canadian instructor with more than 20 years of experience as a teacher of English as a Second Language. Currently residing in Japan, Everett has had the privilege of teaching the whole spectrum of learners, from children as young as four to seasoned business executives. The writing of Read Assure arose out of the simple observation that many of the methods by which children are taught to speak English miss the point, especially when these children do not have the benefit of regular daily interaction with native speakers. The results obtained from the use of this book have been nothing short of spectacular and it is hoped that parents and teachers who are determined to bequeath the gift of English mastery to young learners will find in this book just what they need.
