Laguna Beach, 1973. Hal’s life as a liberated gay men has not gone all that well, and after a devastating relationship, he sees nothing but gloom, hard work and abuse from his restaurant job. He wallows in self-pity in the darkened rooms of his house, and only reluctantly rents out the spare room to the ebullient Mike whose sunny disposition brings Hal up out of despair. When Mike meets Tom who moves in too, Hal gratefully feels almost like a parent, as if he has a family to care for. Then he meets Simon with whom he falls in love after a steamy, erotic night together, and that phenomenon of gay life, the gay family, becomes a reality. Even the selfish and cruel Denise, owner of the restaurant where they all work, has little effect on their life together, but it is not a life without issues. Who is the Lurker spying on their house? Will Eric’s plan to snatch Jean-Jacques’ restaurant succeed? Can Carl finally figure out his sexuality? Can Norman keep his housewarming party a secret from Dan and why would he want to? Find out who next will drop into the warm and hospitable House on Shadow Lane for a breakfast chat, good food, and genuine friendship. REVIEW of The House on Shadow Lane: Peopled with such interesting and varied characters, the plot of The House on Shadow Lane required a skillful hand to keep events moving at its almost frantic pace while remaining believable. As Robert Heylmun weaves the lives of his characters into the nap of his plot, their connections produce the complicated, even twisted, events that make the novel so intriguing. How, the reader wonders, will the romance developing between Hal and Simon survive the challenges they face? How will Carl, who is "in love two people of different genders" decide? While readers have likely never know such characters or situations, the author ́s ingenious interplay cements the reader ́s interest. As a result, readers will likely share on finishing The House on Shadow Lane, a "joyful sense of loss" that paradoxically occurs whenever I finish a novel I have much enjoyed. Good stories like this leave the reader to ponder what will happen next to those characters. I knew I would like this book. –Michael Dryden

Horror comes in many flavors: Frankenstein, Dracula, ghosts, zombies, delusion, hallucinations, phobias. Then there’s The House on 666 Shadow Lane. For a hundred years, the house stood proud, harboring devoted families like the Carsons, the Smiths, the Marshals, the Hendersons, and dozens of other proud owners who called it home. Lawns mowed to perfection; pampered gardens of roses, dahlias, azaleas, and violets added to the house’s pride. Overnight, pride turned to shame. Sunny days that once invited friendly shadows now gave way to darkness and repugnance. Green lawns turned brown; elegant flowers withered and died. Tall maple limbs that once danced in the wind to show their wealth of green leaves now dripped blood that replaced the sugars and salts needed to give them life. Now lifeless, the limbs morphed into tortuous, deformed hands with twisted fingers. All because The House on Shadow Lane knew HE was coming. Hughes’ other novels are THE MAFIA and JONNY BLUE, THE WEDJAT, MULBERRY STREET, CRAVEN, EXODUS CONSPIRACY, and DARCY MILLER.

Meet up again with the indomitable Denise, still up to her old and nasty plots while dressing like nobody else.

Shadow Lane presents an exquisite photo album depicting the art of spanking in the 21st century. A spanking video production company and publishing house since the late 1980's, Shadow Lane is headed by Eve Howard, a former spanking model, editor of both "Spank Hard" and "Stand Corrected" magazines and author of the Shadow Lane novel series. Shadow Lane has always identified with the "romance of discipline" and this has long rendered its products of particular interest to female spanking enthusiasts chary of the harsher profile of contemporary BDSM. The photography in this soft cover book is wholly devoted to spanking perfection, ranging from the classically traditional to the evocatively fetishistic, with the emphasis on fully clad good looking man spanking enchanting bare bottomed girl, in the most popular American spanking position, over the knee. Departments include: the world's most bewitching female spanking submissives, counter posed with their handsomest tops, a gallery of never before published Brian Tarsis spanking illustrations, girls spanked in uniform, cheeky views from the rear, nude spanking, clinical spanking, double spankings and women who spank women. "Shadow Lane's The Art of Spanking Volume One" is a 64-page, all color portfolio of genuine corporal punishment erotica for the discriminating viewer of the whole spanking picture, including those meaningful expressions that say so much about the general attitude of a scene. This is not a book of disembodied bottoms, but of human beings with personality and heart, interacting in a fabulous action fetish that includes an entire sub-culture of its own. Many spanking people who discover Shadow Lane for the first time feel as though they've come home to friends. These charming images, along with Eve's explanatory notes, which put the scenarios into a cultural perspective, will speak to the spanking enthusiast who knows deep down that there is absolutely no reason not to feel good about being into spanking in the 21st century. About the Author: Eve Howard has been writing and producing spanking erotica since the 1980's. Eve has written, directed and produced over 155 spanking videos and hosted over thirty gala balls for enthusiasts. Many spanking fans have discovered the real life spanking scene by following the same patterns of social networking as described in the Shadow Lane novels and the Shadow Lane personal ads network has been one of the primary social organs of the real life spanking scene for the past twenty years. There are ten titles in the Shadow Lane novel series so far and Eve is currently working on Volume Two of "Shadow Lane's The Art of Spanking." She lives with her husband Tony Elka and their cats in Las Vegas.

Shadow Lane Volume 1: When Susan and Laura Ross become the protegees of sophisticated magazine publisher Hugo Sands, their adventures in the spanking scene begin. In search of the perfect dominant-submissive relationship, the two sisters, along with their glamorous friend and mentor, Marguerite Alexander, experience the most voluptuous disciplinary encounters imaginable with a series of disarmingly masterful men from Cape Cod to Boston to New York. The female libertines of Random Point seek a standard of excellence in their tops that combines forcefulness and chivalry in equal parts and the search proves a complete education in the culture of corporal punishment. Shadow Lane Volume 2: All Susan Ross ever wanted was a handsome and masterful lover who would turn her over his knee now and then without trying to control her life. She ends up with three of them in the second volume of Shadow Lane, the ongoing chronicle of romantic discipline set in a village on Cape Cod. Bad girl episodes include: the old-fashioned schooling of Jane by Hugo, the sensuous surrender of Marguerite to Michael, the impertinent seduction of Sherman by Susan, Laura's naughtiness and subsequent correction, the radical adventure of Damaris in the Hollywood B&D house and Susan's public spanking from Anthony at the Hellfire Club, NYC. The final chapter brings all together for a dramatic climax in which Susan plays an unexpected role. About the Author: In Random Point, everything is linked to spanking and this is true for the author of the Shadow Lane novels as well. Eve Howard has been writing and producing spanking erotica since the 1980's. Eve has written, directed and produced over 140 spanking videos. Female-friendly and designed to make people feel good, rather than guilty, about being into spanking, Eve suggests an irreverent alternative to the all or nothing B&D subculture portrayed in such beloved classics as The Story of O. Many spanking fans have discovered the real life spanking scene by following the same patterns of social networking as described in the Shadow Lane novels. And for almost twenty years, Eve's company Shadow Lane has been one of the primary social organs of the real life spanking scene. There are nine titles in the Shadow Lane series and Eve is currently working on Volume 10. She lives with her husband Tony Elka and their three cats in Las Vegas.

Spring is dead. Summer is divided. Autumn has its darkness...and Winter waits. In the wake of Dealla's latest atrocity, Macsen has learned a lesson he will never forget. To love is to fear, and he intends to make sure that his fear never comes to pass. Bran is less than pleased with being left behind while Macsen hunts Dealla, but he has trouble of his own to distract him. An unknown ability is growing in him—magic that has nothing of Summer in it. Disturbed, Bran convinces Macsen to come with him to question his mother. Only she knows who Bran's father is, and the secret half of his bloodline is the most likely source of his new power. Elenn agrees to Bran's request, but for her own reasons. Faelan, one of the gancanagh, is to be Bran's guide to his father, and she has ordered him to seduce the Red King and prove his love false. Faelan has no desire to follow through, but also no choice. His queen has commanded, and he must obey. Macsen and Bran aren't the only lovers whose feelings are being put to the test. After five thousand years of separation, Myrddin has no choice but to accept Kas' help in restoring the spring and its rite to the mortal world. The difficulty is that he wants Kas to desire him for himself, not out of necessity, and the whole of reality is standing in his way. Where is the line that divides determination from desire? Love is power—but is it enough?
