Sinopse

This collection of short fiction aims to define the sometimes indefinable and to give voice to those struggling to make sense of what life throws at them. There are those who travel in a continuous loop on London's underground and those who dance at night with the departed. A woman confronts herself in a bedroom mirror after decades of denial and a widow finds comfort in an osteopath's consulting room. And then there is a strange creature who falls to earth; dreams and portents; crows and folklore, and much more.
The stories are tragic and comi-tragic, but all reveal the strength and complexity of the human spirit. They bring poignant insights on grief, loss and longing and the depths and strangeness of the human psyche and how we manage to survive and just about cope.

    My name is James Jackson and I enjoy spanking naughty girls of all ages. Ivy is my wonderful and very understanding wife who encourages me to spank whoever I want, as long as there's no intercourse. This is the fourth audiobook in my spanking autobiography. In the first, I was introduced to extramarital spanking by my wife and her friend Bridget, and in the second, I was lucky enough to spank Kate Anderson to help her change her attitude and awful behaviour. In the third, I spanked Evelyn and her naughty daughter Emma. In this audiobook, you will meet Nikki, a twenty-four-year-old who is looking for some parental guidance. My wife and I took on the roles of Aunty Ivy and Uncle James. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. I would encourage you to listen to the first audiobooks in this series first, but you don’t have to if that's not your thing.

    Generations of Northern Albanian are known as great story tellers. They shared many folk tales, myths, and legends with their descendants. The collected short stories include mysterious legends of lost treasures, mystical tales of mountain fairies, superhuman powers, century-old witches, blood feuds, and more written by a twelfth-generation Albanian. The lands described in the stories are still visible today, and locals share a sense of wonder and respect the mysteries that hide beneath. Northern Albania is a true treasure of raw natural beauty and a hidden gem in Southeastern Europe.

    Henrietta Dorothy Huskisson was born in January 1851 in Gillingham, Kent. 
    Little reliable information on her life is available and almost nothing on her early life.   
    The first concrete information concerns her marriage at age 18 to the solicitor Isaac Edward Everett. 
    It was only at the age of 44 that she began her literary career under the pseudonym of Theo Douglas, a popular device in a society that still frowned upon women writing for income. 
    During her lifetime she was a popular author and wrote 22 books and those were published by 17 different publishers. 
    Although she wrote some historical novels her main output was centered on fantasy and supernatural themes. 
    Henrietta Dorothy Everett died in Weston-on-Trent in Derbyshire in September 1923.

    Virginia Woolf

    Adeline Virginia Woolf was born on the 25th January 1882 in South Kensington in London. 
    Although lauded as a founder of modernist writing with such classics as ‘Orlando’, ‘Mrs Dalloway’ and ‘To the Lighthouse’ and, of course, many classic short stories, her background is filled with elements of tragedy that she somehow overcame to become such a revered writer.   Her mother died when she was 13, her half-sister Stella two years later and with it her first of several nervous breakdowns.  Appallingly it was later found that three of her half-brothers had sexually abused her so darkness must have seemed ever present.   
    She began writing professionally at age 20 but her father’s death two years later brought a complete mental collapse and she was briefly institutionalised.  Somehow she found within herself a literary career and with it great innovations in writing; she was a pioneer of “stream of consciousness”.    
    Her tight circle of friends were the founders of the Bloomsbury Group, a movement whose legacy still influences across the arts and society in many way to this day.   
    Whilst the dark periods continued to interrupt her emotional state her rate of work never ceased.  Until, on 28th March 1941, Woolf put on her overcoat, filled up its pockets with stones, and walked into the River Ouse, in Lewes, East Sussex and drowned herself.  Her body was not recovered until the 18th April.  She was 59. 
    She left behind a note which read in part “Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again.  I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times.  And I shan't recover this time.  I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate.  So I am doing what seems the best thing to do”.

    ‘The room was spinning. Thoughts were pulsing from one vein to the next’. 
    Twisted Tales takes us through scenes of familiar human conditions. 
    From complete inebriation through a marriage without love via a gambling addiction ruining lives past the sometimes mean streets of Hamburg then onto to the sunshine of Thailand. 
    Characters in each story must battle with their own minds and outside influences in order for them to make the right decision which is all too seldom in what we call modern life and in some cases Part 1 is only the beginning of their journey….
