Crossing the Line: A shy but attractive lady embarks on a Norwegian cruise featuring the entertainment theme of 'Crossing The Line' of the Arctic Circle, but with an exciting and unexpected twist. At thirty two years of age there were many lines in her life still needing to be crossed, but none more important than getting her first sound and thorough old-fashioned spanking. Unbeknownst to her, however, a handsome traveller from America, with a firm understanding of old-fashioned discipline, also happens to be on board.
Looking Forward to the Morning: Tired and stressed out at work, Sally McNeill decides to take a break and catches the ferry over to France to spend some time in a gite she has rented. Following a rude outburst on the ferry, an unknown gentleman threatens her with a spanking. And when, by coincidence, she later runs into the very same man on her bicycle, it looks like the threat may become a reality.
Conversation: Out for a walk on the moors, Jacob asks Sarah to marry him. Sarah hesitates at first, and when questioned, confesses that she is scared of being spanked by him, having seen how severe Jacob's father is with his family. Jacob assures her he is not like his father, and when Sarah confesses to having broken curfew some years ago, she agrees to let him spank her.
A Day at the Beach: A young teacher tells of her first adult spanking when, during a day out at the beach with her bossy, opinionated boyfriend, she throws a bucket of water over him!
Good Girls: Although never having experienced corporal punishment while growing up, three eighteen-year-old 'good girls' decide to take a holiday in Greece, followed by a year during voluntary work for the church in Africa, before going on to University. In Greece, when a party gets out of hand, disturbing the local farmer and his wife, all three girls end up getting punished with a switch. The narrator later describes the caning and strapping that she receives at the hands of the headmaster and a senior female teacher at the African orphanage where she is volunteering. Later, now enrolled at university, she finds herself participating in the Castigat Project, a self-improvement plan involving corporal punishment, and it doesn't take long before she finds herself subject to a bare bottom spanking, administered by her tutor and his wife.
A Change of Regime
It is some time in the future, and with a change of UK government comes a series of radical new measures which brings corporal punishment back in vogue. This includes the legalising of spanking in the home as well as a partial restoration of corporal punishment in schools and for certain offences within criminal law. Aspects of the new regime are described in the following six stories...
In Punishment, 18-year-old Amy's father, who had previously voted for the new disciplinary reforms, has second thoughts when his daughter is sentenced to be strapped at one of the Ministry of Justice's 'therapy' centres.
The Nice Headmaster details how student teacher, Olivia, is subjected to a lengthy paddling by her headmaster, a monthly procedure instituted by the Department of Education under the new regime.
In The Students of the Nice Headmaster, Olivia and two of her colleagues spend the holidays at one of their parent's homes. One evening, after a few drinks, they are distracted by a group of boys and return home at 3am. The next morning they pay the price and are each subjected to a bare bottom strapping.
False Identity sees the introduction of further disciplinary measures, including a curfew. Sixteen-year-old Marion gets caught out after curfew and being over the legal drink limit, but uses the ID card of her elder sister, Estelle, when confronted by the police. As a result, Estelle is forced to endure a triple punishment administered by strap, cane and birch, on her sister's behalf.
In Black Card, having made a major error at her place of work, Amelia must attend a Penitence station where she is subjected to the painful humiliation of a computer-administered spanking.
Twenty-five-year-old Lucy receives a computer-generated sentence from the Ministry of Justice in Mistake. She knows she is innocent, but the court refuses to acknowledge its mistake, and she is forced to attend a penitence booth for her punishment.
Journey to Love
Soon after Kathy Anderton starts dating, she wonders why she is expected to have sex to keep a boyfriend - a view shared by her friend Kelly, who invites Kathy to attend her church. Kathy's mum is pleased with this development, particularly as she finds out she is dying of cancer, which prompts her to make arrangements with the vicar concerning Kathy's future. Coming to terms with her mother's death, Kathy is sad, scared and angry - angry that she was abandoned by a father she'd never known, and that both sets of grandparents refused to acknowledge her existence. Anger fuels her to research her father, and she discovers several Anderton's resident in a small rural town in America, and also finds a girls' college some twenty miles away. Kathy investigates further and finds it to be a very strict Christian college with curfews, rules, mandatory attendance at the college chapel, and weekly meetings with tutors to discuss work grades and responsible attitude. Given that she has no stomach for the drinking and sex culture in British universities, she applies for a place - and is successful.
Her new life begins, and when she receives an invitation from Pastor Brad Hoctor to attend his family church, the ideal appeals to her. After the first service, she joins 'Pioneers', a group for the 16- to 21-year-olds in church, and subsequently has her first sight of Assistant Pastor Jack Myerscough - a handsome man who is to become a key influence. It seems that discipline within the church family is strict, and Pastor Jack has no qualms in spanking young women for their disruptive behaviour. This regime is all new to Kathy, but it doesn't stop her from accepting Jack's invitation to go out on a date with him - even though he later punishes her for her own failings. Kathy's developing relationship with Jack unfolds as she finds out more about her estranged family, and her ultimate acceptance of Jack's authority culminates in a happy ever after ending in this tale of Christian domestic discipline.
The Disciplined Women of Chapel Island
When 18-year-old Kate and her wealthy parents make yet another house move, this time to their luxury new home on Chapel Island, Kate senses from the outset that there is something both mysterious and exciting about the place. The island is beautiful, though somewhat unusual in that it has its own currency and a police and security force known as The Guardians - and it isn't long before Kate has her first encounter with them. Whilst exploring on her bicycle, she narrowly avoids colliding with a golf cart (the mode of transport on the island) and is later questioned by two Guardians who tell her that her mother will be informed.
Subsequently, Kate is puzzled when she notices that her mother has to go out and pay some kind of penalty, and on returning home is taken by her husband to his study where she later emerges rubbing her bottom. Kate's curiosity deepens and she follows her mother to the Accountability Suite in the House of the Guardians. As a result of Kate's investigations, she discovers that domestic discipline and corporal punishment are an accepted way of life on the island - and the reason Kate's parents chose to reside here. Under this regime, many infractions are dealt with publicly with all manner of spanking implements.
This is a rite of passage for Kate, who discovers that the ritual of such punishments excites her, and that excitement is carried through to her intimate relationships. When she breaks the rules, she is up for correction, and joins the other island women on stage, all naked and waiting for their punishment, which is often severe. But she is still inquisitive and discovers there is much subterfuge going on, with hidden cameras in her home. Why is she being spied on? Who can she trust? And who are 'The Five' who have control of everything that happens on Chapel Island? She finds out eventually, and becomes empowered...

The Last Spanking Story
Miles LaPage, world leading spanking author and playwright, has simply run out of ideas and decides he has penned his last spanking story. As he has often done before, he is soon striding out across the moors, but when a dense mist descends he ends up losing his bearings and falls down a steep muddy bank. He follows a path but eventually realises he is lost when he is suddenly approached by a strangely dressed policeman. Sometime later he is introduced to Sir George Armitage, who explains that their village became frozen in time in 1937, following a severe electrical storm. None of the villagers are able to leave and all roads somehow lead back to the village.
Miles also learns that the village employs a strict regime of corporal punishment with sentences handed out by a 'court' held in the village hall. Those found guilty of wrongdoing are subject to the cane and birch and some are further placed in a pillory the following morning with their bottoms bared and on the receiving end of a strap or additional spanks from any of the public so inclined.
After several failed attempts to get away from the village, Miles agrees to take the job of village secretary, responsible for recording the events at court and for the ordering of goods. Despite being a writer of spanking fiction, he is appalled at the severity of some of the punishments, especially those given to some of the younger villagers, which he considers to be both unnecessary as well as cruel. Later, Miles discovers a young girl, Sophie, who has been sleeping in one of his bedrooms. It seems that the house Miles occupies was her former home until her mother died and she was placed in the care of an extremely unpleasant woman, Madge Pendle, who runs the dairy and mistreats her.
As Miles becomes increasingly unhappy with the cruel village customs, he intercedes to prevent two young girls from being punished and incurs the wrath of the policeman. Things take a further turn for the worse when he is confronted by Sophie's enraged foster-mother. The following day, he is visited by the constable and two beadles, who demand that he and Sophie come with them to court where they are likely to face the birch. It's time for drastic action...
Erin's Visit
Instead of going to University, Erin decides to go to America and stay with her Aunt Nicola and Uncle Jack, and work at the family business. Erin's mother has some misgivings as her churchgoing sister and brother-in-law live in a strongly religious area. Undeterred, Erin makes the trip, and discovers that she is now in a totally different environment and culture - because here in this devout Christian community, spankings are the norm. She finds that the church endorses physical chastisement and all the neighbouring houses have a church-approved spanking paddle hanging up in their homes. Erin realises her status as an unspanked 18-year old may mean she may not be popular with the other girls - so she takes steps to sign up to receiving regular spankings from her Uncle Jack. This is a rite-of-passage tale for Erin, who begins to learn the meaning of traditional discipline. She starts a relationship with local boy Josh who comes from an extremely strict family, and as their relationship develops, Erin grows in confidence and maturity and also learns more about the community in which she lives.
Erin's Cousin
Eighteen-year-old Jessica has always been somewhat jealous of her cousin, Erin, who, although the same age, seems to do everything better than her, and she eventually grows to resent her. When Erin goes to stay with relatives in the United States, Jessica keeps in touch and gets to hear that she has agreed to accept a church based behaviour contract which involves her being spanked on a regular basis for any misdemeanours. Jessica decides that this is one area where she can compete with Erin and gets her parents to agree to spank her in a similar way. It's not long before she finds herself on the receiving end of her first bare bottom spanking when her father spanks and paddles her for poor results at college. Further spankings follow and later Jessica is surprised to find that her own mother is now also subject to chastisement in much the same way as herself. As the punishments continue, she begins to find that she is becoming a better person and what's more, no longer in the shadow of her cousin.
