  Featuring new translations of previously untranslated Chinese short stories, Memorandum maps out seven decades of Sinophone Singaporean Literature. From bargirls to student activists, from trishaw men to tea merchants, this collection provides a glimpse into a world that has been previously invisible to Anglophone readers. Paired with critical essays, these stories showcase the richness and diversity of Singapore’s Chinese community, but also its inherent interconnectedness with other cultures within Singapore. 
   
  “Memorandum is a pathbreaking anthology that refracts over half a century of Singapore’s history through its lens. The translated stories do much more than simply bridge Sinophone and Anglophone worlds: they actively cross geographical, cultural, linguistic and class boundaries, causing us to think more deeply about the nature of social power, and the transformative interventions literary texts can make.” 
  -Philip Holden, scholar of Singapore &Southeast Asian literatures

  A Lesson on a Tortoise - From...

  D H Lawrence

  David Herbert Lawrence was born on the 11th September 1885 in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, a coal mining town where the reality of a harsh life was only useful as experiences for future literary works. 
  He was educated at Beauvale Board School and became the first local boy to receive a scholarship to attend Nottingham High School. After 3 years he became a junior clerk in Haywood’s surgical appliances factory. He was also attempting a literary career which, in the short term, led to a teacher training position in Eastwood and later a teaching qualification from University College, Nottingham.  
  Lawrence’s first efforts were poems, short stories and a draft of ‘The White Peacock’. Moving to London and a teaching position in Croydon his writing attracted the attention of Ford Madox Ford, editor of The English Review, and he commissioned him to write ‘Odour of Chrysanthemums’.  
  Wanting to write full-time he now began work on what would become ‘Sons and Lovers.   
  In 1912 he met the older and married mother-of-three Frieda Weekley. They eloped to Germany and here Lawrence could see for himself the growing tensions with France.  So keen was his interest that he was arrested and accused of being a British spy.  
  In early 1914 Frieda obtained her divorce and they returned to Britain to be married just days before the outbreak of war. Owing to her German parentage, and his own public dislike of militarism and violence, the couple were treated with contempt and suspicion throughout the war years.  
  Despite this he continued to write but his reputation in England was so tarnished and, mirrored by his own disdain for the country, he and Frieda left England in November 1919, first for Europe and then America via Ceylon and Australia. 
  They bought a ranch in Taos, New Mexico and visited Mexico several times. The third visit in March 1925 caused a near fatal attack of malaria. To convalesce they moved to Florence. Here he continued work on ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ which for many years would cause controversy. A renewed interest in oil painting resulted in an exhibition in 1929 which was raided by the police and several works were confiscated.  
  D H Lawrence died of complications arising from a bout of tuberculosis on the 2nd of March 1930 in Vence, France.  He was 44.

  Ken Barnard is a computer software engineer in his early thirties with very little going for him apart from the daily grind of a nine-to-five job during the week, going to the pub on Friday night and watching the match on Saturday. His lifelong passion, however, is spanking girl's bottoms. In the past, he had thought that girls his age or younger have the ideal bottoms to spank but that changed when his middle-aged neighbour locked herself out of her flat on purpose. After discovering the pleasure of spanking an older bottom, Ken finds that there are other middle-aged ladies who want to be spanked in every position imaginable. 
  Philip Vincent 
  Fantastic I 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 
  Jason Roberts 
  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

  They’ve been best friends since they were fifteen years old. He’s realized the only girl he’ll ever love is her. Will they risk their friendship for love? 
  Corey: Dawn’s been my best friend since high school, the one constant in my life, and the only woman I’ve ever been myself with. She’s also way out of my league, but I’ve realized over the last few weeks I love her. And while I don’t want to lose our friendship, no other woman will ever come close, and I’ll never be all in on a relationship while the what-if with Dawn hangs over my head. So I have to deal with the what-if. 
  Dawn: I’ve loved Corey since the ninth grade, only he’s never thought of me that way. To him I’m one of the boys, and never one of the many bleach blonde bimbos he takes home from the bar… which is fine. I resigned myself to being his best friend, and nothing more, a long time ago. But now he’s back after taking off for a few weeks—no note, no call, no text—and acting weird. Really weird. 
  Each book in the series is a complete, standalone story. This is a steamy short story romance, complete with instalove and a guaranteed happily ever-after. If you're looking for a great lunchtime read, or something to spark sexy dreams before bed, you’ll want to pick this one up. 
  This is book one in a four book series. Last Stand Saloon Series: Round Up, Making Up, Cowboy Up, and Giddy Up
