Well, there’s finally some good news to report on the anthology of the best of my spanking stories, to be entitled “The punishment list.”

The stories have all been selected – including a few old favourites, as well as many new ones that never previously been published. A wonderful painting’s been done for the cover (thanks, Cath!).

The book’s formatted. And it’s now being proofread: our friend Martha was working on this for us on a train journey the other day. As she wrote to us:

The binder is out on the table, with my various other paraphernalia, and I’ve been reading away for some time, pen poised for any notes.  Sitting opposite me are an American couple.

I get up and go to the buffet car. On my return, as I sit down, he smiles winsomely and says, “So, on your way back to school then?”

How I didn’t collapse laughing is anyone’s guess!  Just wrong, on so many levels ;-)   If he’d had any idea what I was reading…!  Unless he took a sneaky peak when I was away, of course!  (I did close it!)  In the end I contented myself with a heartfelt, “I wish!” and explained that I was “proofreading some work for a friend”.

The target is for the book to appear in print at the very start of the new year. Watch this space!
