				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/thanksgiving-fall-collage-10856994_s.jpg"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/thanksgiving-fall-collage-10856994_s.jpg" alt="thanksgiving-fall collage 10856994_s" width="450" height="450" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4655" /></a>The subject of this post sounds good, eh? When you try to put it into practice this week, it&#8217;s going to get a lot harder. Black Friday looms and all the shopping of the season is meant to fill gaps and holes in our lives with material goods. Can we really do that?</p>
<p>Many people are posting on Facebook and elsewhere, their daily thing to be thankful for. &#8220;I&#8217;m grateful for my new oven, because cooking is so much easier now.&#8221; Okay, that&#8217;s something to be happy about, but is it worthy of being sincerely grateful? Will the food taste so much better that your family will be more energized, satisfied, healthier because of that purchase? Or &#8220;I&#8217;m grateful for my Kindle. It&#8217;s the gift that keeps on giving: books!&#8221; Now, since I&#8217;m self-serving that way, I can get behind this, but only so far. Is any toy something to truly be grateful for?</p>
<p>What is gratitude? According to Merriam-Webster&#8217;s Unabridged Dictionary, being grateful is involved with wanting to repay a kindness. I would also add that it&#8217;s a selfless repayment, where one expects nothing in return, except for maybe a thank you. So that new refrigerator isn&#8217;t expecting a kindness or your gratitude, but maybe the person who bought it for you would appreciate one. Or the person who moved it (a tip, perhaps?). Reciprocal gifts are just one way to say you&#8217;re grateful.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re grateful for being able to eat three meals a day, give someone else three meals a day (perhaps at a homeless shelter). Be grateful for what you have but pass it on. Someone else, feeling gratitude, will then pass a kindness on to yet another person. It snowballs.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a list of three things I&#8217;m grateful for and how I express my gratitude:</p>
<p>(1) I&#8217;m grateful for my husband, who understands the mind of an artist and patiently deals with my nuttiness with hardly a complaint. He supports me generously even when my meager earnings aren&#8217;t quite enough for me to do my share. How I show my gratitude? I say thank you to him at every turn, I tell him I love him, and I do small things for him that make his life easier without expecting him to notice or comment. I keep his needs foremost in my mind, without losing myself and the things he loves about me.</p>
<p>(2) I&#8217;m grateful for the time I had with my childhood family. All but my half-brother and niece are gone now, but I remember those good family times vividly and fondly. I look over my old photos and shed tears thinking about how warm and happy those days were. How do I show my gratitude? I help my niece with her projects, though I don&#8217;t expect anything in return. I give my children unconditional love, without expecting a phone call or a status report on my schedule. I tell them thank you for every good thing they do for me. And I try to introduce them to new places and people that they would never get to experience otherwise &#8212; those might be the most lasting memories they have.</p>
<p>(3) I&#8217;m grateful for the publishers who have taken a chance on me. They didn&#8217;t have to. I write well, but there&#8217;s always someone who does your craft better than you do. There are plenty of those colleagues whom I respect very highly and from whom I try to learn. What do I do to show my gratitude? I write more, helping them have a constant stream of product to sell. I show my loyalty to them by promoting their new releases and fledgling authors. I do my share of marketing (this blog, for example), which means the publisher prospers without having to make their whole job PR.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my gratitude to my bosses today: <a href="http://www.blushingbooks.com" title="Blushing Books Site" target="_blank">Blushing Books Publications</a>, <a href="http://www.stormynightpublications.com" title="Stormy Night Site" target="_blank">Stormy Night Publications</a>, and <a href="http://www.newdawningbookfair.com" title="New Dawning Bookfair Site" target="_blank">New Dawning Bookfair</a>. Check them out. I don&#8217;t get anything for pointing them out to you, except satisfaction knowing that I&#8217;m showing a little gratitude.</p>
<p>Those are the three things I&#8217;m most grateful for. Not just this year, but every year.</p>
<p>I hope you find the things you&#8217;re truly grateful for this Thanksgiving, and that on Black Friday you don&#8217;t forget that a kind word, a tip to a waiter, letting another person go ahead of you in line &#8212; these are signs of your gratitude, for you have opportunities most of the world&#8217;s population can&#8217;t even imagine.</p>
<p>Happy Thanksgiving, my US friends!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #008000;">If you&#8217;re here for Saturday Spankings, please scroll down one post.</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/correctingkathy_cover_full.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3779" alt="Cover: Correcting Kathy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/correctingkathy_cover_full-194x300.jpg" width="194" height="300" /></a>Why not take a walk on the wild side and pop over to <a title="Blushing Books Site" href="http://www.blushingbooks.com" target="_blank">Blushing Books</a> where they&#8217;re now hosting <a title="Correcting Kathy" href="/books-featuring-spanking/correcting-kathy/">Correcting Kathy</a> as part of their <a title="Stormy Night Publications Site" href="http://www.stormynightpublications.com" target="_blank">Stormy Night Publications</a> partnership. The book is available at all the best outlets!</p>
<p>Here are the blurb and links.</p>
<p>Kathy would never have imagined that one of the most embarrassing moments of her life could make her the envy of every girl at her small university, but after a stumble in the cafeteria leaves her blushing and Hal Emory drenched in soup, she is stunned when the incident ends with her meeting the young, handsome professor for dinner.</p>
<p>She is even more taken aback by the fact that he does not hesitate to lecture her over dinner about her smoking—a habit she has tried many times to break without success. When he offers to help her quit by means of “aversion therapy”, she cannot resist the urge to learn more, and almost before she knows it she finds herself bent over the desk of this stern professor for a good, hard spanking.</p>
<p>After a subsequent chastisement leads to lovemaking which is as hard and hot as it is unexpected, both Kathy and Hal must decide if they want to pursue a romance. Can Hal leave the pain of the tragic death of his wife in the past and allow himself to fall in love with Kathy? Even if he does, will she be able to accept not only his love but also his guidance and, from time to time, his firm hand applied to her bare bottom?</p>

<p>How does the week go by so fast…and yet so slowly! Here we are for another mid-week pick me up, our very own Horny Hump Day hop. Pull up a chair and get ready for some hot stuff!</p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/correctingkathy_cover_full.jpg"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/correctingkathy_cover_full-194x300.jpg" alt="Cover: Correcting Kathy" width="194" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3779" /></a>This week, I&#8217;m sharing some more of <a href="/books-featuring-spanking/correcting-kathy/" title="Correcting Kathy"><em>Correcting Kathy</em></a> (formerly titled <em>Teaching Miss McGillicutty</em>), featured recently in the USA TODAY HEA column. It&#8217;s my most recent erotic spanking romance release and was published by <a title="Stormy Night Publications Site" href="http://www.stormynightpublications.com" target="_blank">Stormy Night Publications</a>. If you want a little screwball humor with your sexy spankings, this is the book for you.</p>
<p>In this segment, Professor Hal Emory is in the shower, fantasizing about student, Kathy McGillicutty. (You might recall the beginning of this fantasy in a previous Horny Hump Day post, <a href="/2013/05/08/hornyhday-the-professor-takes-a-shower/" title="#HornyHDay – The Professor Takes a Shower">here</a>.) His fantasy reaches its climax.</p>
<blockquote><p>Hal rocked his hips forward as the surge came upon him. It came from deep inside, and he envisioned coming in the back of Kathy’s throat, prodding her to swallow, her throat working against the head of his cock as she did. Standing there in the shower, he grunted once with the pleasure, and sagged into the water.</p></blockquote>
<p>I hope you&#8217;re enjoying bits of <a href="/books-featuring-spanking/correcting-kathy/" title="Correcting Kathy"><em>Correcting Kathy</em></a>.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;">For your Horny Hump Day post, please scroll down after you read my good news.</span></p>
<hr />
<p>Hooray! My latest book has been released by <a title="Stormy Night Publications" href="http://www.stormynightpublications.com" target="_blank">Stormy Night Publications</a>! I&#8217;m so excited. This is one of my best ones ever. I hope you&#8217;ll come over to <a title="Close Encounters With the Night Kind" href="http://closeencounterswiththenightkind.blogspot.com/2013/06/release-day-party-for-patrica-greens.html?zx=edf9b414949b2197" target="_blank">Close Encounters With the Night Kind</a> where Nikki is throwing me a big party to celebrate. I&#8217;m giving away a copy of bestseller, <a title="EBOOKS – 2012 AND BEFORE" href="/ebooks-2012-and-before/"><em>Kiki&#8217;s Millionaire</em></a>, to one lucky commenter on her site.</p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/correctingkathy_cover_full.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-3779" alt="Cover: Correcting Kathy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/correctingkathy_cover_full-662x1024.jpg" width="360" height="557" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Here&#8217;s the blurb</span></strong> from <a title="Correcting Kathy" href="http://wp.me/P27hbT-YW"><em>Correcting Kathy</em></a> &#8212; I hope it sounds like a lot of fun. It really is!</p>
<blockquote><p><em><span style="color: #008000;">Kathy would never have imagined that one of the most embarrassing moments of her life could make her the envy of every girl at her small university, but after a stumble in the cafeteria leaves her blushing and Hal Emory drenched in soup, she is stunned when the incident ends with her meeting the young, handsome professor for dinner.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #008000;">She is even more taken aback by the fact that he does not hesitate to lecture her over dinner about her smoking—a habit she has tried many times to break without success. When he offers to help her quit by means of “aversion therapy”, she cannot resist the urge to learn more, and almost before she knows it she finds herself bent over the desk of this stern professor for a good, hard spanking.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #008000;">After a subsequent chastisement leads to lovemaking which is as hard and hot as it is unexpected, both Kathy and Hal must decide if they want to pursue a romance. Can Hal leave the pain of the tragic death of his wife in the past and allow himself to fall in love with Kathy? Even if he does, will she be able to accept not only his love but also his guidance and, from time to time, his firm hand applied to her bare bottom?</span></em></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Here&#8217;s an excerpt.</strong></span></p>
<p>Hal watched Kathy sit down as though the chair would bite her. She worked the strap of her purse with anxious fingers. After a moment, she reached up and pushed short, blond hair out of her face. He wanted to touch those thick, wavy locks.</p>
<p>“Smoke a cigarette. It’ll be your last one.”</p>
<p>“There’s no smoking allowed in this building.”</p>
<p>Hal wasn’t going to allow excuses. This was supposed to be aversion therapy and she had to have a strong sense of what she was to avoid. Besides, he knew this would be difficult for her and wanted to give her one last hit of nicotine. “I won’t tell if you don’t.”</p>
<p>Of course, spanking almost certainly wasn’t allowed in the building either. Not so much because he was involved in a personal relationship with a student, since she wasn’t in any of his classes, but because the school administration would not look kindly on him engaging in this sort of activity in his office on school property. Religious schools like Holy Name had done away with that kind of punishment a long time ago.</p>
<p>Kathy fished in her purse for her cigarettes and lighter, her face softening as she anticipated the treat. A small thread of smoke rose from the cigarette and she drew in a deep lungful. He observed her, trying to look neutral, as he stood near the big bookcase. It was hard to be unaffected by the young coed. She reminded him strongly of his wife, a woman whom he loved deeply and unremittingly, even though she was gone.</p>
<p>“Do…do you do this often?” she asked.</p>
<p>“Not for years.”</p>
<p>“Oh.” The pause in the conversation drew out.</p>
<p>“How’s that cigarette?”</p>
<p>Kathy exhaled a cloud of smoke. Her shoulders were visibly more relaxed. “It’s okay, I guess.”</p>
<p>Reaching for a bottle of water, Hal unscrewed the cap and took a long swig, then held it out to her. “Put the cigarette in here.”</p>
<p>“In the bottle of water?”</p>
<p>“Yes. You’ve had enough.”</p>
<p>“But I’m not done!”</p>
<p>“Yes, you are.”</p>
<p>Looking frustrated, Kathy took another puff and dropped the last little bit of her cigarette into the water. It sizzled and floated on the top, ash leaching out into the water, along with a few tiny flakes of tobacco.</p>
<p>Hal put the cap back on the bottle and tossed it into the trashcan. “You know why you have to stop smoking, right?”</p>
<p>She nodded. “It’s bad for me.”</p>
<p>“It could kill you!”</p>
<p>Shame reddening her face, she nodded.</p>
<p>“No more for you. Every time I find out you’ve been smoking, I’ll spank you.”</p>
<p>Kathy sat up straighter, her brows drawing together. “Every time?”</p>
<p>“Every time.” He nodded toward his desk. “Go bend over my desk and raise the skirt of your dress.”</p>
<p>“Raise the…”</p>
<p>“Did you expect a spanking over your dress? You want this to be effective, or did you plan to have to repeat it?” Hal had a moment of dread, even as the words left his mouth. It was going to be hard on him as well as her. He hadn’t been intimate with a woman for a long time and having this lithe young beauty spread over his desk was quite possibly self-torture.</p>
<p>Kathy stood and took the two steps to the desk, turning back to him at the last moment. “Are you sure this is going to work?”</p>
<p>“We’ll see, shall we?”</p>
<p>“Okay.” She slowly draped herself over the desk, lifting her skirt up to her waist in the back. Her face flamed right down her long, slender neck. Kathy’s short hair bobbed as she pressed her face to the desk. She wore skimpy white panties sporting the words “Ho, Ho, Ho” with small, colorful Christmas trees dotting the seat. A book slid off a stack on the desk and landed with a small thump on the worn rug.</p>
<p>The air in the room went still. Several long moments passed while Hal debated the wisdom of this again, deciding that it was a necessary step if he wanted to help her. He took up his post to the left, thoughts of his wife flashing in his head. Patting Kathy’s bottom, not rubbing—that was too personal—he gauged that his aim was true. Her breathing was shallow, anticipation written in her stiff posture and the way she gripped the desk like a lifeline. That lovely bottom was waiting. It was time to get started. Hal raised his hand several feet, finally bringing it down sharply on her left globe, and watched his handprint blossom where her French-cut panties didn’t cover. Kathy let out a squeak and peered over her shoulder.</p>
<p>“I don’t want you to smoke anymore, Miss McGillicutty. You don’t want to be here like this again.”</p>
<p>Kathy started to say something, but he struck her upturned bottom again…and again…and again several more times. The edges of her panties fell short of the redness he was creating. Pain caused her to finally cry out. “Ouch! Okay, I won’t smoke anymore!”</p>
<p>“No, you won’t.” He placed a half-dozen more smacks on her sweet rear. “I’ll do this to you as many times as it takes.”</p>
<p>Her face was slightly turned toward him. She was biting her lip, and her eyes were screwed up tight. “Ow! I get it! You can stop!”</p>
<p>“You don’t get it, Miss McGillicutty. You want the pain to stop, that’s all.” He smacked her again a half-dozen times and a few tears ran over her nose, landing on his desk. “What happens if you smoke?”</p>
<p>“I get spanked! Oh, God, it hurts! Enough!”</p>
<p>The point had to be crystal clear. He knew, from his experience with his wife, that a woman would make a protest long before the lesson had been learned. He drew his spanks down to the juncture of her bottom and thighs and she cringed and reached back to cover her ass with her hands. “Hands down!”</p>
<p>“Ow!” She was sobbing now, her bright blue eyes running with tears, but she put her hands back on the desk. Maybe she was learning. “Please, please, Professor Emory. Please!”</p>
<p>“Three more swats.”</p>
<p>“Oh! Oh! Oh!”</p>
<p>Her loud, broken-voiced protests were beginning to weigh on Hal, and he thought maybe she’d had enough. The spanking was over. He was sorely tempted to rub her rounded bottom, a bottom which showed hot red handprints sneaking out from under her panties. That ass was far too appealing; he had to change gears.</p>
<p>“You can stand up now. I think I’ve made the point.”</p>
<p>Slowly, she unfolded from the desk. Tears ran down her face and her mouth was soft and pouting. Her mouth was the one thing that didn’t remind him of Debbie. Debbie’s lips were less full, less perfectly formed. Kathy’s lips were kissable, camellia-colored treasures.</p>
<p>It made him angry. The injustice of life was sometimes almost too awful to bear. Even being surrounded by students didn’t make up for the loneliness he experienced day in and day out. He was tempted to have a drink, but he hadn’t touched liquor for the last two years. Even living in wine country wasn’t enough to make him break that vow to himself.</p>
<p>Hal handed Kathy a tissue. “Fix yourself up and we’ll go back to my car. I have things to do.”</p>
<p>She looked a little stunned. He was being abrupt and cold, but he couldn’t help it. His pain was something kept close to his chest, deep in his heart. Explaining it to Kathy wasn’t something he was prepared to do. So far, he’d only talked to his best friend, Aaron, about it.</p>
<p>It occurred to him that after dropping Kathy off at her moped, he might give Aaron a call. They were cousins and best friends, and if he couldn’t confide his tumultuous emotions to Aaron, they might eat him alive.</p>
<p>It took the young woman a few minutes to compose herself, but soon enough she picked up her purse and headed toward the door.</p>
<p>Silently, they walked toward his car. A few night birds called through the many box elders and pine trees on campus, and sidewalk lights threw uneven splashes on the concrete. There was a smattering of stone pots of peonies and daffodils dotting the way, but they were grayish in the artificial lights and the moon was hidden behind clouds.</p>
<p>The car ride to Bobby’s Burgers was uneventful and notably quiet, except for the occasional sniff from Kathy. Hal felt bad about being so short-tempered with her at the end of the lesson. With his wife, he was consoling, cuddling her and kissing her to show his love. But, of course, that wasn’t the case with Kathy McGillicutty. She was a temptation, but one he should not indulge. He didn’t want to get tangled up in something he wasn’t prepared to continue.</p>
<p>They stopped under a light stanchion in Bobby’s parking lot, not far from her moped. Kathy reached for the door handle, but paused, turning toward Hal. “I guess I should thank you.”</p>
<p>“Only if it works.”</p>
<p>“My butt still hurts.”</p>
<p>“It might for a day.”</p>
<p>A tiny smile turned up one corner of her beautiful mouth. “Well, that ought to teach me. Have a good night, Professor Emory.” The door clicked open and she began to get out.</p>
<p>“You too, Miss McGillicutty.”</p>

<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/quill-and-ink-13285456_s.jpg"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/quill-and-ink-13285456_s-300x300.jpg" alt="vectomart / 123RF Stock Photo" width="300" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3729" /></a>I&#8217;m happy to announce that I signed a contract with <a href="http://stormynightpublications.com/" title="Stormy Night Publications Site" target="_blank">Stormy Night Publications</a> for my latest book, <em>Correcting Kathy</em>. That&#8217;s the book you know as &#8220;Teaching Miss McGillicutty.&#8221; It was re-titled and revised and is hotter and spankier than ever. My understanding is that it will be out in June. Exact date yet to be determined.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the blurb:</p>
<blockquote><p>Kathy would never have imagined that one of the most embarrassing moments of her life could make her the envy of every girl at her small university, but after a stumble in the cafeteria leaves her blushing and Hal Emory drenched in soup, she is stunned when the incident ends with her meeting the young, handsome professor for dinner.<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/kathy-mcgillicutty-14771542_s.jpg"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/kathy-mcgillicutty-14771542_s.jpg" alt="andersonrise/123rf" width="297" height="400" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3730" /></a></p>
<p>She is even more taken aback by the fact that he does not hesitate to lecture her over dinner about her smoking—a habit she has tried many times to break without success.  When he offers to help her quit by means of “aversion therapy”, she cannot resist the urge to learn more, and almost before she knows it she finds herself bent over the desk of this stern professor for a good, hard spanking. </p>
<p>After a subsequent chastisement leads to lovemaking which is as hard and hot as it is unexpected, both Kathy and Hal must decide if they want to pursue a romance.  Can Hal leave the pain of the tragic death of his wife in the past and allow himself to fall in love with Kathy? Even if he does, will she be able to accept not only his love but also his guidance and, from time to time, his firm hand applied to her bare bottom?</p></blockquote>
<p>My thanks to <a href="http://stormynightpublications.com/" title="Stormy Night Publications Site" target="_blank">Stormy Night Publications</a> for giving me this opportunity to work with such a helpful and professional company. I encourage all readers of spanking romance to look into them.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll keep y&#8217;all posted. Enjoy your holiday!</p>
