'Big bad Ralph is a naughty man, ' she added breathlessly. 'He ties me up. I'm a bad girl... you should spank me.' Without any further tempting required, he smacked her bottom so hard it sent searing bolts of sensation surging through her delicate frame. He spanked her again, and again, remembering how it felt to have his palm stinging as it made contact with hot flesh. After fleeing his pursuers across the icy wastes of northern Russia, David Harper has finally arrived in the USA. His enemy is dead, his friend is reconciled and he has two Lapp females to sell before he starts the adventure of his lifetime. He's had enough of the stark beauty of the tundra. He's convened with his Gods and developed his spiritual side long enough. It's time he learned how to party. On the road to Miami he meets an old acquaintance, develops some new ones, and learns that the land of the free is also filled with crazy oddballs; motorbike gangs, native Americans, black supremacists, white supremacists, rich bitches and even richer sugar daddies. It only happens in America, and it takes only money to get what he wants and do what he wants - and he wants plenty. Miami Bound follows David from the most northern state in America to the white sandy beaches of the sunshine state, and it witnesses one man's excess in search of pleasure. Can he get to Miami before Uncle Sam gets to him?

As they turned her about and positioned her over the seat and the waiting dildo, she tried to cry out for them to stop and made a feeble attempt at resistance, but the bonds on her arms and wrists rendered her completely helpless. She turned her head wildly from side to side, finally identifying her two captors as Gavin and Carla. Each had a hand under her lower thigh and another gripping her upper arm so that she was being supported in the sitting position and, as they began to lower her, Hazel stepped between her splayed thighs and stooped to guide her onto the long, thick shaft...

But events take a disastrous turn when Lianne is kidnapped, and finds herself having to recreate her role for the mastermind behind a scheme to bring the comic strip to the Internet.

Born with Cerebral Palsy, Bill Kohut had challenges from his very first day. Relying on the love of his mother, his trust in God, and a remarkable sense of humour, Bill was able to overcome it all: an abusive father, repeated heartbreak, and the ignorance of others. Through the eyes of a man moving through life with compassion and searching for love, Under my Wheels provides a view into a world the able-bodied rarely glimpse. With courage and poise (and some complaining), Bill tells his story of growing up as a kid in the 1970s, when resources were not available and a lack of comprehension of his condition was common. Moving into a group home to escape his father's wrath through to gaining his own apartment, Bill shares all his experiences as a young man in a wheelchair who refused to accept limits, making his way through a world not built for the disabled. It's an uplifting story of perseverance and faith that gives readers a deeper understanding of a life on wheels.

What you'll find here is the story of our Awakening, as told through glimpses; glimpses of us. What you'll read in these pages are both individual and collective uncoverings. Uncoverings of what you may wonder? Uncovering the shadows attempting to hide our brilliance. For once the shadows are seen clearly, the light becomes obvious. For we are brilliant and beautiful beacons for this collective awakening of our race. This is our most recent history, from 2011 to today; we are in the tenth month of 2023. It is, in my opinion, a gorgeous telling of the vibrant and insistent light that has permeated these dozen+ years. That light is yours. Specifically, it is told through the lens of personal experience and contact. Contact with a member of the Forces of One, with a cast of additional "other-worldly" and earthly characters, as well as with One. It is told through my words, and revisited in moments of confusion, comprehension, despair, and joy. It is as transparent a telling as could be given at this point in our journey; we are still traveling, and there are discoveries waiting for us. Here is a description from One, which you'll also find on the back cover of this book in its printed form: "Once you recognize the oceans of Light that exist right now in your individual drop - the floodgates open. Single drops join with many, and these are not merely added. It is an exponential process as the drops expand always... This expansion of Light illuminates the world as Oneness is realized." One2023.7.26 I hope that you enjoy every single page. With love and light, Sophia

within these pages, the truth reveals itself: the only constant in life is change, and the only certainty is uncertainty. - The Butterfly Paradox Embark on a transformative journey through the delicate yet resilient wings of The Butterfly Paradox.

She felt a hand on her buttocks, the fingers forcing their way between the taut rubber of her thong, pulling it down and to one side, and then another pressure against her bottom hole, cold and slippery. For a second her muscles tensed, resisting, but Alison realised it was a futile gesture. She forced herself to relax and grunted into the gag as the oiled dildo pushed upward and the crotch of the panties snapped back into place over it. Journalist Alison Katt has a reputation for being prepared to do anything to get her story. But when editor Mike Hallett tells her the details of her latest assignment, even the intrepid Alley Katt is shocked. However, driven forward by a mixture of ambition, salary bonus and her own insatiable curiosity, Alison accepts the challenge to investigate a shadowy fetish club, first undergoing a crash course in the scene at the hands of professional dominatrix Marcia, where she assumes the identity and character of the submissive Mitzi. Despite initial misgivings, Alison finds herself drawn deep into a bizarre world she would never have imagined existing, and then deep into danger, as the rubber and leather games become real and the penalty for failure a life of unending servitude at the hands of a sadistic master!

'Bad girl!' he wheezed, gloating over her succulent flesh. 'Bad, bad girl!' He was drooling as his hand rose and fell, smacking her bare bottom as it gleamed rosily in the firelight. She squealed as the stinging made her squirm and writhe, her feet, in their buttoned shoes, kicking the air. His eyes, fixed on the rippling globes of her bottom, sparkled in the firelight and his breath came in heaving gasps...

Next came two sleeves, terminating in stiff mittens, which laced the entire length of her arms, preventing all but the slightest movement at the elbow. And even that was then denied, when short straps on the inside of either forearm were drawn firmly through strategically placed rings at either hip of the corset girth. Stepping back, the lad looked Lianne up and down appreciatively, nodding as he did so. 'An excellent filly, ' he murmured... Prepare to enter the world of VESTA, a virtual reality where anything is possible and everything too terrifyingly real. Smarting from the humiliation inflicted upon him by our heroine - Lianne Connolly from Net Asset - is James Naylor, bitter and thirsting for revenge.

Suddenly trapped inside VESTA's ever-changing fetish world, Lianne and her friends find themselves hostage to Naylor and Christina. Although logic tells them they are not really there, the bewildering array of ingenious sexual torture devices say otherwise, for the pain is as real as any in the outside world.

He fumbled with the buckle of his belt. 'Now that most of the devil's work has been scourged from you, it's time again to at least welcome your physical body back into the fold. Let's see if you still have the strength to wriggle as you did before, ' he challenged, leering...

Hooded, gagged and bound, beautiful Harriet Merridew lies in the church vault, substituted for the unfortunate Matilda Pennywise, whom Crawley is shortly to execute for witchcraft, whilst her bitter rival, Jane Handiwell, leader of a gang of nocturnal highwaywomen, revels in her plight and in the pending fate of Harriet's cousin Sarah, now sold by Jane to Roderick Grayling, son of the local Lord of the Manor to become just another statistic in his white slavery operation. Only Thomas Handiwell, Jane's innkeeper father and Harriet's would-be suitor, and a handful of troopers supposedly commanded by an inexperienced and convalescent young officer, stand between further murder and extortion and any chance of a return to sanity.

Ancient Dynamic Monarchians held that Jesus was a miraculously conceived man who, after his resurrection, ascended to heaven and to divine authority, as opposed to being an eternal divine Person who became human. This book makes an historical argument that far from being a phenomenon that appeared only in isolated cases in the third century, Dynamic Monarchianism was a tradition that existed from the earliest days of Christianity and was part of the Christian mainstream until the emergence of newer Christologies led to it being regarded as heretical. Thomas Gaston holds a Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Oxford, a Masters in the History of Christianity from the University of Birmingham, and a degree in Philosophy from the University of Warwick. He specializes in historical Christology, early Christianity, and biblical interpretation. He is also the author of Historical Issues in the Book of Daniel (Paternoster, 2016) and many articles on Christian theology and history which have appeared in academic journals. Gaston is a member of the Society of Christian Philosophers and is a senior manager at Wiley. He lives in the United Kingdom.

In this, his second volume of poetry, author Thomas Curley invites us as companions on a journey into his most intimate reflections and contemplations of spiritual life. Culled from journals kept since 1979, the 23 works selected for inclusion herein date from 1991 - 2000, a period of deep introspection when the author sought the balance of maintaining a relationship with God while assuming the responsibilities of secular adult life. "There had been some dark, soul-searching moments in my youth" Curley writes, "but, privately, the close kinship with God through prayer that I maintained was what always got me through."Curley's poetry enables us to reacquaint ourselves with the fundamental values that define the best potential versions of ourselves as individuals, a society and species: compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, acceptance, love, and kindness.

This book tells the early life of Samuel Dunche. He was born in the late sixteenth century into a well-respected family who had sat at the heart of Government since the times of Henry VIII. He was the third son and, as such, expected to play a supporting role of the family future. He lived in incredible times. A change of royal dynasty from Tudor to Stuart. Intense poverty and taxation at a time the middle classes began to emerge. The ever-present threat of plague and pestilence that culled swathes of the popula tion. A New World being discovered and the world's most famous playwright, William Shakespeare, at his peak. Conflicting religious beliefs between Catholicism and Protestantism fuelling national paranoia and the rise of extremist Puritanism and the ever-present fear of witches. Disillusion with the monarchy, leading to dissolu tion of the monarchy, regicide and Civil War. Through these times, Samuel survives and thrives despite family opposition and finds himself thrust into the heart of great events, shaping his perspective on what is right and wrong, just and unjust. He experiences torturous loss, becomes uncle to a young Oliver Cromwell and finds a love he could never have imagined. My motivation for this story lies not only in writing about the fascinating times that shaped modern Britain, but in a person al connection with Samuel. The first house he built and lived in with his wife, where he started his family, is called Hall Place in Sparsholt, Oxfordshire. It was built in 1623 and celebrates its quatercentenary this year. I own and live in this house today. 'If the walls could talk, what a story they would tell, ' I often say to myself. I hope to try and tell his story
