    What can be done to stop madness from sweeping the world when political indecision is the norm? When the nation's leaders lack the backbone to stand up to them, what can stop an enemy that knows no rules? Charity. 
    Charity Styles is a former Olympian and US Army helicopter pilot. Captured and tortured by terrorists in Afghanistan after the opening blows of the War on Terror, she has a score to settle. Now working for the Department of Homeland Security, she is offered the opportunity to make a real difference. 
    Critical memories of her ordeal are buried deep in Charity's subconscious. When the director of Homeland Security's vaunted Caribbean Counterterrorism Command discovers the key to unlocking Charity's past, he unleashes a tempest, the fury of which no enemy can prepare for. 
    Already a martial arts instructor and pilot, Director Stockwell guides her training in marksmanship and spycraft, making Charity the most dangerous asset in America's covert arsenal. Charity then sets her sails, crossing the sea in an antique sloop. A single-minded, all-encompassing determination stays her course...to confront the enemy and play by their rules.

    On a chilling night in 1994, a small town was consumed by chaos as horror movie clichés became terrifyingly real. Slashers stalked dark alleys, ancient demons awakened, and alien hunters prowled the shadows. The victims we've come to expect—like the Slutty Girl, the Stoner, the Jock, and the Nerd—were targeted, cornered, and left for dead.  
    But what if, just once, the story didn't end the way we thought it would? 
    **Archetypes of Horror: The Night The Tropes Survived** twists the familiar rules of the genre, offering ten flash fiction stories where classic horror movie victims fight back, survive, and find unexpected futures. From the cheerleader who outsmarts an alien killer to the goth kid who narrowly escapes a cursed fate, these stories breathe new life into old tropes, delivering sharp, suspenseful narratives that challenge our expectations. Each tale is packed with gripping suspense, moments of dark humor, and an underlying sense of dread that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. 
    For readers who loved **Creepshow**, **Goosebumps**, and **Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark**, **Archetypes of Horror** will be a thrilling and nostalgic ride, tapping into the universal fear of what happens when the familiar becomes deadly. Are you ready to discover what happens when the victims fight back… and when they wake up?

    Ken Barnard is a computer software designer who has had a series of unrewarding relationships with women his own age. 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. Recently he has discovered the pleasure in spanking older women who are often not only willing but desperate to be over Ken’s knee getting their bottoms warmed. In this audiobook, Ken spanks Rose and Holly together and then canes Amanda Prendergast for her Airs and Graces. There is also a spanking dinner party and Ken finally meets the love of his life.

    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

    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
