Our topic was your favourite spanking book and/or author, and here are your top pics.
Katie: I have enjoyed all of the authors that I have read around the land.
Such a diverse group, I can't pick a favourite. I don't think that I
even want to! :)
On the other hand, I can tell you of two authors
outside the land that write really good spanking scenes that I enjoy.
Both I are D/s really. One is Cherise Sinclair. I love her books. They
are fun, and you get to know the characters as you progress through.
The other is Kallypso Masters. Her Masters at Arms series is
wonderful!! There is so much more to them, and good spanking scenes
too. She writes really well too. Best to go in order though.
Rollin: The best piece of spanking erotica I ever read, and this was way long
before before jumping into writing it myself, was a book called
"Passions of a Satyr" by a "Frank Doyle". It was just a porno store
paperback, but the writing was excellent. I keep looking on Olympia
Press to see if it will turn up, but so far not yet.
Dr. Ken: While I am a voracious reader--at one time, I actually counted it up and
found I had about 300 paperbacks and hardcovers waiting to be
read--I don't seek out spanking stories, or books that might contain
spanking. My tastes are more mainstream--suspense, mystery, some
horror, some SciFi or Fantasy. I much prefer the oppoturnity for the
real thing as opposed to reading about it!
Baxter: Many authors are good including Fiona Locke, Rachel Kramer Bussel and CC
Patterson. The last one self publishes and can be found on Amazon. I
have only purchased from Amazon and there are hundreds of books on it
that involve spanking and discipline.
Anon: Catherine Taylor! The Finest Line (trilogy) has a fabulous secondary
storyline with plenty of suspense/intrigue that balances the dd/ds
dynamics of the developing romance. (Some stories can saturate with so
much of it one can become desensitized). Great mix, I also liked the
the way the erotic appeal of dd is embraced.
Jenn: I don't read fiction, so I'll mention one of the books that led me to
the realization that I love the thought of being spanked: "My Secret
Garden: Women's Sexual Fantasies" by Nancy Friday. After reading then
entire book as a young 20-something, I noticed that all the fantasies
that I had dog-eared involved spanking or something very similar.
Others (rape fantasies, etc.) did nothing for me. That led me to more of
her books and other anthologies of realistic erotica short stories,
some of which involved discipline topics.
Prefectdt: I still think that Nikki Flynn's memoir "Dances with Werewolves" is my favourite book with spanking in it.
Jan: I love lots of our spanking bloggers books. Just recently I discovered Ashe Barker's trilogies. I loved them all!
Lillyanna: I recently came upon Caia Fox! I've really enjoyed reading all of her books :)
Minelle: A lot of the 80s bodice busters had spanking in them. Of course they
were very mild compared to the stories written specifically here in our
world. I still loved them. Here there are too many good authors to choose from.
Jon: Wow, lots of authors I'd never heard of before.
The Story of O started me down (up?) the road.
An
author named Martin Pyx had a series of books with the names of the
seasons in them I enjoyed in the [years redacted to protect me.] I think
he is out of print.
There are too many new authors to pick one
favorite so I'll dodge and name two ladies who have recently started
publishing. Both go (well) beyond DD. "Golden Angel" and "Rachel
Burns." Over among the men are DJ Black and Devlin O'Neil, who has a
very readable series about a mythical place called Neverwasnia.
PK Corey and Leigh Smith deserve particular mention from me because Hermione's blog led me to them and their writing.
Jimisim: My first favourite was the late Alex Birch, who in his blog "Flaming
Cheeks" encouraged me to write and bullied me into entering a an annual
contest which amazingly I won in my category.
Currently my favourites on
LSF are Susan Thomas and an occasional author called 'Spankerotic'. It
is rather unfair to single out individual authors though as on
LSF they
all give freely of their work and many others give me great pleasure.
One
thing I have noticed is that there seem to be great differences in
personal preferences. For instance I will not knowingly read stories
involving children under sixteen, and I don't gain much pleasure from
domestic discipline stories which involve an overbearing or controlling
partner.
There also appears to be a pronounced difference in taste between the UK and the US, although not possibly Canada.
Ronnie: Some authors here I've never heard of. We have some wonderful writers in our community and I have several of their books.
To be honest I don't have a favourite and too many good authors to choose from. I have liked some by Alex Birch.
Hermione: My earliest introduction to spanking literature was
The Story of O by Pauline Reage. I them discovered
The Pearl, a colllection of 18 issues of the Victorian magazine of the same name. Later I also discovered Blue Moon Press and Nancy Friday's
My Secret Garden.
My favourite modern book is
Erica Scott's Late Bloomer. It's an autobiographical account written by someone I know, and there's plenty of spanking in it.
Jay: Right now, I think my favorite author who includes spanking is Livia
Grant. She recently published "Wanting it All" and "Securing It All."
She has another in that series that she is trying to get out soon. I'm
sure my list of favorites will grow if I ever find time to read again!
There you have it. Don't you feel like curling up in a comfy armchair with a good book?
