He lives in the bottom half of an old Victorian semi-detached house in Hendon, London, and he is enthusiastic about just two things, computer programming and spanking.

    Fantastic: Loved the book there was nothing bad in the book I really liked the ending you are a brilliant writer I am going to read some more of your stories  
    Jason Roberts 
    Another fun spanking series: Sweet older ladies can benefit from spankings just as much as naughty little girls. I’m really enjoying this author's genre-busting sexy spanking stories.  
    NJSpank 
    Enjoyable: With so many stories about thin young ladies and men being spanked this perspective was very enjoyable. Some nice erotic moments but spanking was the main theme. Well done and a very nice read

    Written in the first four months of the war in Ukraine, fuelled by anger towards mindless violence, Němec's stories tackle the present moment and confront what really matters at times of abundant destruction.
    
    A Czech man in Ukraine in search of his alter ego. A gang of homeless kids driven from a cellar by tenants using it as a shelter from the war. A German couple who 'rented a womb' in Ukraine, whose child is now stuck in Kyiv. A teenager partnered with a Valkyrie for the distribution of lavash in besieged Mariupol delays his flight until it is too late. A Russian academic mounting a protest in the center of Moscow dressed in a costume from Swan Lake. They may not be soldiers at the front, but for the characters in these stories, life will never again be as it was before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In this collection of short stories-two set in Ukraine, two in the West, and one in Russia-Czech author Jan Němec has produced a work of remarkable immediacy.
