Making a living in the Wild Wild West could really be a pain in the butt sometimes…
Welcome to the Battle of Little Big Ass. You’re invited for a trip to a section of the Wild Wild West where men are men, women are glad of it, outlaws are as pretty as their Indian adversaries, and shapely rear ends are targets-for spanks, as well as other stingy assaults. And making a living can be a big pain in the butt! Meet Ivana Custer, niece of General George Armstrong Custer of Little Big Horn fame, or infamy, and an outlaw like none you’ve ever seen before. But she’s not easily forgettable either. Can she be tamed by, and submit to, a good man, the town doctor she depends on to care for her endangered behind? Turn the page and find out.
Welcome to Harper Valley, governmental seat of Imlay County in the state of Transylvania (it’s somewhere between Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia, just don’t ask for an exact location) where school policy on corporal punishment is different, and distinct from anywhere else: unless a student is eighteen years old and legally an adult, their parents are spanked for them. And strangely enough, it seems to work–particularly well on a newcomer to the county named Sabrina Kemmerich who’s never been spanked or paddled before. Once she meets school psychologist and assistant disciplinarian Felicia Guthrie, likewise recently moved to the area with her husband Joe and kids, though, she gets an education of a type she never expected, and never thought she could, or would, enjoy. Felicia even manages to give Sabrina’s husband, Brian, a little schooling of his own. Tag along for the ride! You might even enjoy it as much as Sabrina does.
Meet Amina, Princess Royal of a small independent kingdom on the border of England and Wales, determined to marry for love rather than her Royal brother’s diplomacy and willing to have her bottom flogged regularly to maintain that right. What should transpire, though, if the Dungeon Keeper commanded to carry out her punishments is as young and handsome as any Prince Charming that the Princess could dream up, or that his skill with a soft, thuddy flogger and the palm of his hand becomes as exciting and alluring to her as being courted? Can true love prevail?
Jeanine Mason hails from as far up in the East Tennessee mountains one can go, and she’s moved all the way to the other end of the state, Memphis, to attend a “name” university. All too soon finding herself overwhelmed by both financial and academic difficulties, she opts to register on a website where young women “seek arrangements” with wealthy older man willing to support them. Understand, Jeanine’s no fool and she bides her time for just the right “Sugar Daddy”–but he makes it clear that he wants her to roleplay a barely-legal teenager, with spanking most definitely involved in her daily discipline. And wonder of wonders, she comes to enjoy it. Punishment becomes “funishment.” What more could a girl ask for?
One of the most popular BDSM roleplays is the classroom or office scene, with a “Principal” or “Teacher” exercising discipline on a naughty “student.” When it’s done right, between mutually-consenting adults who put safety, sanity and control at a premium, it can be fun for those of legal age who enjoy the discipline fantasy. And yet its origins are more sinister than consensual roleplay, and in the so-called good old days what safety, sanity and control it ever harbored came at the goodwill of the disciplinarians. We speak here of the literal corporal punishment of real children and adolescents in actual schools, and at this writing it’s still allowed in several Southern American states.
The practice has its defenders, who uphold it for reasons anywhere on a spectrum between what they view as simple practicality and as so-called proper orthodox religion. But it should be obvious that, unless a school corporal-punishment policy is strictly regulated, it’s ripe for all sorts of abuses if for no other reason than the location of the pudendal nerves in the human body. News reports of corporal punishment that has gone much, much too far occur with alarming regularity in the states where it’s permitted, and the teaching profession has been, in some instances though thankfully not all, a haven for closet kink opportunists–not responsible practitioners of BDSM.
What might happen, though, if a few such responsible adult BDSM players went undercover at a school where abuses of corporal punishment were rife, to expose those exploiting it for their own gratification? Maybe it’s high time that it happened. Meet Callie Goins and Jessica Brokamp, the Derriere Detectives, and their colleagues-and find out.

Meet Helena, the pretty young Amazon whose face might not be able to launch a thousand ships, but whose face, body, and personality combined would inspire any man—and not a few women, too—to fall in love with her. She’s eighteen, strawberry blonde, strong, athletic—and also a just a bit bony-kneed and -elbowed and somewhat clumsy, which becomes evident when she falls and nicks her pretty chin and even more so afterwards, when she accidentally shoots her commanding officer in the butt with an arrow.
And when the irate, embarrassed commandant orders Helena to be bent over and have her pretty round behind soundly spanked by Xander, the same surgeon who’s just removed the arrow from the longsuffering commander’s buttock, the punished girl also discovers that she’s submissive, something until then completely unknown among Amazons—or at least, completely unconfessed by any. This is the story of the blossoming lust-and-love affair between the first admitted Amazon submissive and a male battlefield surgeon who’s been taken as prisoner of war by the Amazons, and who now serves as their encampment’s doctor. In the meantime the Lady Commandant also discovers a few submissive tendencies within herself, to say nothing of a fondness for a bit of tender loving care for her wounded rump in spite of trying to remain faithful to her husband, a commander among the all-male Gargareans from which the Amazons pick spouses. Between the two women, Xander has his work cut out for him. Journey back for a brief while through the ancient Barbarian lands of Asia Minor, east of Greece, as all three try to sort out the complexities of their emotions as well as their lusts—and their feelings about the treatment of their backsides.

Booty Slap. To be flattering, it’s an avant-garde, maybe even esoteric, sport. To be truthful, it’s a genuinely oddball sport. Evolved from Eastern European contests in which male athletes try to knock each other off their feet with face slaps, and somewhat similar to nalgadas y cachetadas contests in Hispanic jaripeo rodeos, Booty Slap involves two scantily-clad young ladies trading spanks until one of them wins—by whatever criterion might be agreed upon by the participants, the judges, and the crowd. The only constant is two shapely sets of attractive, reddened and red-hot female buttocks at the end of a match. Call Booty Slap what you will, whether avant-garde,esoteric, oddball or just plain crazy, one thing’s for sure: guys, and even girls, often love watching it. Check it out YouTube and see for yourself.
So what might happen if, as seems possible one day, Booty Slap is accepted in the United States as a spectator sport as much as seems to have happened in Eastern Europe, or even the way nalgadas y cachetadas contests (girls slapping their boyfriends’ faces and in turn, bending over and submitting to retaliatory spanks by the boyfriends) are an integral part of jaripeo rodeos? Belinda Krüger, a German exchange student, explores this question in a most personal way in the pages of this tale—or tail. Hold onto your popos as she journeys to Las Vegas and competes to win a scholarship to a “name” American art school, getting her rump roasted thoroughly in the process and incidentally, developing a romantic and sexual attraction to her “coach” as only spanking aficionados can truly appreciate. Who knows? Her dream—as well as the sport of Booty Slap in America—just might become a reality.

Switch VI: The PossASSion of Felicia Guthrie is the latest installment in Ardie Stallard’s Switch series, which examines the complex dynamics of dominant-submissive relationships. This novel delves deeper into the lives of Felicia Guthrie, a submissive, and her husband, Joe, a dominant, as they navigate their roles and relationships with others. The story begins with Felicia and her best friend, Jessica, waiting for Joe to return from a business trip. Felicia Culbertson Guthrie is a mother and wife who loves her husband, Joe. That is why she goes to get a tattoo on Joe’s name while he is away on a business trip. But the tattooist turns out to be a substitute and an amateur magick practitioner who falls in lust with Felicia and is determined to have her by casting a spell on her. His spell is also designed to make Joe irresistible to submissives. Now that Joe and Felicia are in hot water, can the spell be broken?
This well-crafted entry in the series can be read as a standalone story. The scenes are focused, the POV is clear, and the conflict greets the readers from the first page. The conflict is brilliantly developed at the psychological and emotional levels, and readers encounter characters struggling with their deepest desires and longings. Felicia is anxious about Joe’s safety and the upcoming conference he will be attending, while Joe is more concerned about getting his work done and adjusting his antique microscope. The intense tension and their conversation reveal their deep desires and needs. As the story progresses, we learn more about Felicia’s past and her relationships with others. She has a complicated history with Callie, a fellow Dominant/submissive switch who has been trying to find a trustworthy Dominant in Las Vegas. Felicia is wary of Callie’s intentions and is hesitant to allow Joe to engage with her. Meanwhile, Joe is approached by Callie’s husband, Desmond, who suggests that Joe can trust him and that he would be happy for Joe to have an impact-play session with Callie.
Throughout the book, Stallard expertly explores the themes of power dynamics, intimacy, and communication in relationships. The characters are well-developed and complex, with rich inner lives that make them relatable and engaging. The dialogue is witty and realistic, capturing the nuances of human interaction. One of the standout aspects of this book is its attention to detail. The author explores the various forms of BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism) and has woven them seamlessly into the narrative. The descriptions of scenes are vivid and sensual, making it easy for readers to imagine themselves in the character’s shoes. The author captures emotions with intelligence and infuses the writing with compelling, sensual imagery. Switch V: The PossASSion of Felicia Guthrie is a thought-provoking and delightful romp for fans of BDSM romance.

In this fourth installment of the Switch series (not counting the historical novel our heroine wrote on her own with a little help from Ardie Stallard) we find Felicia Culbertson Guthrie now a graduate of both Shelby and Mid-South Universities, a published author, and a Licensed Associate Counselor under her Master’s degree Psychology faculty advisor. Her husband Joe and their friends have built her a home office, she’s working out of West Memphis on salary for Stallard Behavioral Therapies, and now she offers professional counseling services to patients and clients both online and in person. And she’s the mother of an adorable young son to boot.
And if all that’s not enough on its own, she’s also assumed the role of spanking therapist for those feeling the need for impact play in their lives but are too timid or hesitant to engage the services of a professional Dominatrix. Can she safely and successfully balance all the hats she’s now wearing: wife, mother, behavioral counselor, and spanker in roles both submissive and Dominant for her husband and her clients all? Between a thirty-something female Memphis aristocrat who’s come across the Mississippi to see her for tension release but has fallen into hot lust with her besides, a young student preacher with a spanking kink he’s trying desperately to cope with by letting her give him lessons using her own bottom as his homework, a malevolent self-proclaimed Dominant ready to take advantage of any naive submissive girl he can brainwash into following his lead, and a spouse increasingly uncertain of his own place in her heart and her life…
Well, with Felicia, who knows? Whatever else you can say about her, she’s hardly boring. Just ask her husband.
SWITCH IV: The Spanker’s Apprentice by Ardie Stallard is a gripping and provocative exploration of sexuality, relationships, and human desire. This fourth installment of the Switch series follows Felicia Culbertson Guthrie, a multifaceted character balancing roles as a wife, mother, counselor, and spanking therapist. Stallard puts together a tapestry of themes ranging from intimacy and trust to power dynamics and self-discovery. Through Felicia’s experiences, readers are invited to examine the intricacies of BDSM culture, including impact play, ass play, medical play, and more. Stallard handles these themes with sensitivity, offering a nuanced portrayal that goes beyond mere titillation, with insights into kink’s psychological and emotional aspects.
The narrative features richly drawn characters, each with a unique background, dealing with peculiar desires, insecurities, and problems. Felicia herself is a fascinating protagonist, handling the challenges of her professional and personal life while exploring her own sexual identity and desires. Her relationships with her husband, clients, and the enigmatic student preacher are interesting. Stallard’s prose is gorgeous, and the author can create imagery that is solid and immediate scenes that are vivid and focused. Whether depicting intimate moments between characters or the lush landscapes of Memphis, Stallard’s writing is both sensual and atmospheric, drawing readers into Felicia’s world with skillful precision. The Spanker’s Apprentice can be enjoyed as a standalone novel or as part of the broader Switch series. The narrative deals with mature themes, and Stallard also offers a thoughtful exploration of consent, boundaries, and the importance of communication in relationships. It is, in turn, provocative and enjoyable, with prose that is delectable and a narrative that is filled with humor.
A second collection of spanking short stories and novelettes from the pen of Ardie Stallard, author of the Switch series and The Sting Operation and Other Tails, and co-author (as it were) of Whipping Tom: Terror of the Milkmaid’s Bum. The themes include fiction, fantasy, and even a few of the misadventures of the Switch cast before the heroine gets together with her hero. The ladies are submissive yet feisty and hot (in more than one way), and the disciplinarians exercise just the right mixture of strictness and restraint. Hope you enjoy…
Genre: BDSM Erotica
The BookViral Review:
Another saucy release, Studies in Spanking: More Red-Hot Tails once again finds Ardie Stallard on top form with great writing and colourful characters that are sure to get you hot under the collar!
BDSM Erotica isn’t typically a genre readers associate with great writing but in this collection of seven sizzling spanking short stories Stallard once again delivers the kind of smart, grippingly orchestrated, witty and polished prose that reminds us the art of storytelling is not bound by genre conventions.
As with other Stallard novels like Switch: A Tale of Spanking, BDSM & Romance and Switch II: The Taming of the Switch Stallard introduces us to a gallery of wonderfully vivid characters with an inspired match between narrative theme and personalities. It’s one of the pleasures of reading Stallard’s books with an erotic tension that is convincing, complicated and oddly sensual.
Stories like these depend crucially on the chemistry between their characters and again Stallard doesn’t disappoint with the return of established characters from previous books and some notable new ones added into the mix.
None of Stallard’s seven stories are complicated but each conjures up stylistically vivid images and an atmosphere that establishes the perfect backdrop for tales of eroticism. Yes, Stallard’s particular brand of erotica may be an acquired taste, but once in, you’re hooked!
For fans of the genre Studies in Spanking: More Red-Hot Tails is not to be missed and is highly recommended!
