    Adam is caught fooling around with his girlfriend's best friend and has to make a choice. His girlfriend is willing to forgive him if he follows her every order and command. He agrees willingly but is in for a ride he would never ever have imagined. 
      
    Adam is transformed into Abby with the aid of hormone injections, laser treatments, and a rigorous regimen of lust and humiliation. Shrinkage is an obvious side effect of his feminization, and becoming an attractive woman is a slippery slope filled with punishment, degradation, and new partners who expects you to perform like any woman would. 
      
    How will Adam fare as Abby? Will he lose his last shred of masculinity, or will he lose the love of his life? 
      
    PSA: This story contains a desperate man who feels forced into an undesireable situation. He’ll be dominated and humiliated by men and women alike, and gall darned if he doesn’t get off on... things... he never thought possible.

    “All writers want the reader to see through their eyes, but few succeed in making them hear through their ears as successfully as Nick Penny… Very special.” Jamie Blackett, Country Life"An odyssey of simple joy, filled with historical facts and stories, where the writer makes us feel part of the journey. It’s like strolling the riverbank with a friend - and is a timely reminder that regular paths walked can lead to irregular and surprising encounters" - Ceri Levy, Caught by the RiverCall of the Kingfisher is the enchanting debut from composer and wildlife recordist Nick Penny. This love letter to a short stretch of Northamptonshire’s River Nene (UK) celebrates all the wild things that live there, especially the kingfishers. The original print book comes with access to 42 wildlife sound recordings made by the author. These are woven into the audiobook along with the spoken text.Nick has walked beside the river at Oundle in Northamptonshire for four decades. But for a whole year he gave the waterway all the time it asked for. The more attention he gave it, the more he saw the kingfishers and heard their high whistling calls. Set in a lovely but little-known part of England, Call of the Kingfisher relates a year by the river, the author’s experiences there and the different people he meets. Other strands are woven around the elusive feathered protagonist: explorations of local history and landscape, from Roman and Bronze Age sites to watermills and centuries-old stone churches; visits at different times and to different places in the valley; homages to naturalists who lived nearby; forest dawns and dusks listening to the precious song of nightingales. But the background tapestry is the sights and sounds, and greens and browns, of the riverbank, shot through with the blue and orange threads of a kingfisher’s glowing feathers.
