It’s early in a busy month, and I have moved temporarily with less stuff than I had in my camper because I could only fill the back of our pick-up truck. Still, in all the hullaballoo, I have wrangled a guest author. Maggie has a strong following of readers and writes across many genres with one unifying theme–spanking. If a man spanking a woman is not for you, and let’s face it, it’s not for everyone, then you can skip this month’s guest author.
