I subscribe to about half a million blogs, but I keep myself from going insane by sorting all the feeds inside Bloglines into folders by topic. I’ve got a folder for “Spanking”, naturally – where stuff like Spanking Blog or Bonnie’s Blog goes. And then I’ve got a folder for “Writing” – where blogs by writers go.
And then I read it folder by folder as I sip my morning poison.
Yesterday morning I went through the “Spanking” folder, got more coffee, and clicked over to the “Writing” folder, and thought I was going insane, because I saw the following post title:
I am Lax! Lax, I say! I need a spanking, but hold the ball gag!
But… I thought I was reading the writing folder???? I closed my eyes and opened them again. Yup, that’s right, I was: the title was from the blog by Tamara Siler Jones, who writes awesome forensic fantasy, but not the kinky sort, as far as I know.
It was all explained soon enough: she was just reviewing a book called “Broken Skin” by Stuart MacBride, which sounds like a novel we ought to be aware of:
To say it’s naughty would be an extreme understatement. It’s all about detective Logan MacRae and his new sidekick John ‘Spanky’ Rickards and their search for a twisted sex killer as well as a serial rapist run amok.
Deviant sex in both directions, and yep, it’s that kind of book. Logan and Spanky investigate sex shops, bondage clubs, and porn studios, just for starters. …
[It’s a] gruesome, sick, twisted, and just plain wrong book, the sort of thing you can’t help but devour.
Now, as a rule, thrillers with kinky sex in them are not kind to us pervs.* Still, I don’t mind that the pervs commit gruesome murder left, right and centre, if I get some juicy, juicy details. Plus, I like reading books by people whom I first knew from blogs and writing forums.

* Because in a thriller kinky sex usually goes wrong, and who causes it? That’s right, people like you.
Haron; I thought you might like the opportunity to clarify your morning ritual of reading folders of blogs. That would only be for as long as it takes to drink the coffee. Then, it’s straight to the TO DO list. Right?? When we send them off on the 6.52 train it’s comforting for them to have a sense that something worthwhile is happening back where the home fires are burning!!!!
