  Warning: Explicit Content. Merry Christmas to my dear listeners! Let’s ring in the holidays with a tail of Yuletide merriment that is not quite what Santa would call “nice”!  
   
  It’s a snowy and chilly Christmas eve, and Cassie Meriwether, having just finished the last of her gift shopping, just wants to go home, have some hot tea, and curl up by the fire with her husband, Bobby. Except that when she arrives, he’s not there. Well, sort of. 
   
  In the kitchen, Cassie finds a note from “Santa” telling her that because she’s been a naughty girl this year, she needs to go upstairs and put on the cuddly pajamas he’s left for her. Then, she is to go into the living room and get onto Santa’s knee…in a way she’s never done before! Hmm…this is not exactly Bobby’s style. Nothing sexy could ever be considered Bobby’s style, actually—being as how her hubby has grown into a rather lackluster lover in recent years. But in the spirit of giving, Cassie decides to indulge his rare display of naughtiness, no matter how embarrassing the whole thing is making her feel. 
   
  So, when she arrives in the living room, she finds her hubby all decked out in a Santa costume so realistic she can barely tell it’s him! Even after he gets her over his knee and gets the “naughtiness” paddled out of her. Even after her horny Santa takes things way beyond a simple spanking. 
   
  But as things by the crackling fire really heat up, including her buns, Cassie is shocked when she discovers that this jolly bearded gentleman is not her husband! Not in the least! This leaves Cassie shocked, shivering, and desperate to find answers to two big questions: First, where is Bobby? Second, who is this man who’s about to take her on the “sleigh ride” of her life? 
   
  Wow, what a way to ring in the holiday!

  Russian Short Story The - Volume...

  The Russian novel has a reputation that is immense, both in narrative and in length.  Unquestionably though the ideas, themes and characters make many novels rightly revered as world class, as icons of literature. 
   
  Perhaps an easier way to enjoy a wider selection of the Russian heritage, with its varied and glorious literary talents, is with the short story.  These gems sparkle and beguile the mind with their characters and narrative, exploring facets of society and the human condition that more Western authors somehow find more difficult to navigate, or to explore, explain and relate to.   
   
  The Russian short story is, in many respects, in a genre of its own.  It is at its captivating best whether it’s an exploration of real-life experiences, through fantasy and fables and on to total absurdity. 
   
  In a land so vast it is unsurprising that it is a world almost unto itself. Cultures and landscapes of differing hues are packed together bound only by the wilful bonds and force of Empire. 
   
  The stories in this collection traverse the decades where one might be a serf under an absolute monarch, and the reality of that was pretty near to slavery, into an emancipation of sorts in the fields, or towns under the despotic will of landowners and the rich into the upheavals of Empire and then the overthrow of the ruling class and its replacement by the communists, who promised equality for all and delivered a society where the down-trodden remained the lowest yet vital cog of the state machine and its will.  
   
  Whilst Tolstoy, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Pushkin and Chekhov are a given in any Russian collection we also explore and include Andreyev, Korolenko, Turgenev, Blavatsky and many others to create a world rich and dense across a sprawling landscape of diverse people, riddled with the class and unfairness in perhaps some of the most turbulent times that Russia has ever experienced.
