    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.

    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

    Necropolis of the Gods

    For centuries, legends have whispered of an extraordinary group of ancient people whose lifespans stretched two or three times longer than ordinary people. Though not truly immortal, these enigmatic individuals amassed lifetimes of unparalleled knowledge, their advancements so astonishing that they were mistaken as gods. 
    They shaped humanity’s most extraordinary achievements: the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Ming dynasty’s Treasure Ships, the lost city of Atlantis, the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacán, and a global communication network – known as the Looking Glass – that linked the world four thousand years before Columbus crossed the Atlantic, earning them the title of Master Builders. 
    When the last of the great ones died, their vast knowledge of the ancient world was buried with them in a secret tomb some believed was never meant to be found. If such a necropolis existed, it would be much larger than even the Great Pyramid of Khufu, its treasures eclipsing those of King Tutankhamun, and guarded by an ancient army more formidable than the Terracotta Warriors who protected the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. 
    With the location of the Necropolis of the Gods now known, Sam Reilly is on a race to reach its inner sanctum before others – equipped with the Elixir of Life – are able to steal its deadly treasures and unlock an ancient army of unimaginable power.

    Shorties of Supernatural Suspense 
    What is the mysterious Emporium? Who or what is Big Al? Friend or Foe? Demon? Alien? or Mystical Shaman?  
    To answer those questions, you’ll have to visit the store, if you can find it. 
    Somewhere, nowhere, and everywhere all at once it appears at the oddest times and strangest places. The neon shines brightly, like a beacon to a troubled mind. The Emporium looks deceptively small from the outside, but once you enter, it is a place beyond reality.  
    Come inside and have a look, but beware, nothing is for sale, and nothing is free. Don’t be afraid of the Poliger, it won’t bite. And don’t be afraid of Big Al, well, on second thought…he might!

    Moby Dick

    Herman Melville

    A masterpiece of storytelling, this epic saga pits Ahab, a brooding and fantastical sea captain, against the great white whale that crippled him. In telling the tale of Ahab's passion for revenge and the fateful voyage that ensued, Melville produced far more than the narrative of a hair-raising journey; Moby-Dick is a tale for the ages that sounds the deepest depths of the human soul.
    Interspersed with graphic sketches of life aboard a whaling vessel, and a wealth of information on whales and 19th-century whaling, Melville's greatest work presents an imaginative and thrilling picture of life at sea, as well as a portrait of heroic determination. The author's keen powers of observation and firsthand knowledge of shipboard life (he served aboard a whaler himself) were key ingredients in crafting a maritime story that dramatically examines the conflict between man and nature.
    “A valuable addition to the literature of the day,” said American journalist Horace Greeley on the publication of Moby-Dick in 1851 — a classic piece of understatement about a literary classic now considered by many as “the great American novel.” Read and pondered by generations, the novel remains an unsurpassed account of the ultimate human struggle against the indifference of nature and the awful power of fate.
