  • Marlee's Correction - A Sweet Naive College Freshman and the Humiliating Spanking She Must Endure From Her Nasty Professor and His Horny Sons - cover

    Marlee's Correction - A Sweet...

    Everybody makes mistakes. Even people as sweet, innocent, and well-behaved as Marlee Sanders. When this cute freshman is hired by her sociology professor to detail his car—and his car happens to be a very expensive sparkle-red Dodge Viper—well, even Marlee can buckle under the strain of temptation!
     
    She just can't help it. She’s just so in love with this car. And she would give just about anything for just one chance to take that beauty out for a spin!
     
    So, after her professor and his two college-age sons, Connor and Evan, go off to play golf, leaving her alone with the car, Marlee gives in to her desire. For the next hour, she is thrilled out of her mind as she cruises along the nearby highways and byways.
     
    Until it starts to rain and snaps Marlee out of her reverie. She hurries back and starts to work on the car...
     
    And not a minute too soon, for, just then, her professor and his sons return home from their rained-out golf game!
     
    And they can plainly see that she’s done very little work on the car. Worse, while she’s in the bathroom, they check the odometer, and—uh, oh—they can also see that, in their absence, Marlee took their prized car for a joyride.
     
    Marlee is in big trouble.
     
    But she has no idea how big until her professor informs her that her punishment will consist of a bare-bottom spanking with all of them watching.
     
    Lying across his knee, Marlee endures the worst humiliation of her life.
     
    Then, even worse, her professor invites Connor and Evan to have a turn. 
     
    But her pain is short-lived, for when Evan has his turn, he can't bring himself to actually spank her—opting instead for gentle caresses and love-pats.
     
    Apparently, Evan is the only one of the three with any measure of compassion, gentleness, and kindness.
     
    And that is precisely why, when everything is all over, he finds himself being rewarded in the most erotically gratifying ways he ever could have imagined!

    “Morley Swingle’s Scoundrels to the Hoosegow is not only consistently fascinating, but there is much to be learned from it about life in and out of an American courtroom. I highly recommend this engrossing book.” Vincent Bugliosi, Author of Helter Skelter  
    In Scoundrels to the Hoosegow, a veteran prosecutor who is also a terrific storyteller shares more than thirty legal stories drawn from real life. In cases ranging from tragic to hilarious, Morley Swingle offers a behind-the-scenes look at the justice system from crime scenes to courtrooms. 
    Swingle takes readers on an enjoyable romp through crime and punishment.  Whether describing a drunk who frees dogs from the pound or a serial killer who saves lives in his day job, he combines true crime and legal analysis with a healthy dose of humor—and shares the occasional “Perry Mason moment." 
    “If Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire of the Vanities captured the essence of criminal practice in a major metropolis, then Scoundrels surely captures the essence of that practice in small town and rural America.” Robert H. Dierker, Jr. 
    “Swingle has written an interesting, easily approachable—and rare—account of daily life as a prosecuting attorney. I am unaware of any prosecutor who writes better than Swingle. The book is refreshing. Mark Twain almost certainly would have enjoyed it.” Steve Weinberg, St. Louis Post-Dispatch 
    “Morley Swingle is a terrific writer and an even better entertainer. Lawyers and non-lawyers alike will enjoy being along for this informative and entertaining trip to the hoosegow.” Forward, Reviews of Indie Books 
    “Those who read Ann Rule, Joe McGinniss or John Grisham will enjoy this book.” Lithuanian Librarian

    Nora Lange's debut novel, Us Fools, was praised as the "Great American Novel" by Molly Young in the New York Times, and "a razor-sharp critique of American capitalism" by Michael Schaub at NPR. Now, she turns her eye toward the daily exercise of getting by.In "Heart Beats," Carol and David arrive late to a Boston dinner party for a night of "messy socializing" with other couples, including a former cult-leader turned financial-advisor and a woman who learned of a "kinky sort of game" while riding public transit. In "Island of Phaetons," an expatriate living in Istanbul is called away from her daily life with "the husband" and "the friend who wanted more than friendship" to visit her mother, who notoriously makes bad decisions, and who has just arrived in Greece "with news" for her daughter, a tantalizing invitation that has her daughter immediately on a plane. In "Dog Star," two figurines live out their dreams before succumbing to the truth that they have been assembled inside of a snow globe and will never go anywhere. In the title story, a new mother in Los Angeles navigates a job, a long-distance relationship with her husband, and her visiting mother, while hoping to find relief in daytime app sex.Day Care is a biting reflection on economic precarity, love, and peeing your pants.
