Only worth 1 Star

Spanking Books, , , , , ,

It has now been 7 months since I started publishing eBooks, and in the last couple of weeks I got my first-ever 1-star rating. Two of them, in fact.

Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with getting low star ratings. Most of the ratings that my books receive are 4-star and 5-star ratings, with a smattering of 2-star ratings to keep me humble.

My best-selling book, THE SPANKING NEIGHBOR, received its very first 1-star rating this week. The book has 21 ratings in total and an average of 4.0 stars out of 5. Most spanking eBooks tend to average between 3.8 and 4.2 stars, and almost all of my eBooks fall between those figures as well.

Ironically, the book with the highest average rating on my bookshelf is a book that only sells a modest amount of copies. THE OTK SORORITY: A SPANKING GOOD SISTERHOOD has an average of 4.4 out of 5 stars from 8 ratings.

Quite honestly, I would rather receive honest feedback as opposed to people buttering me up. The only issue that I have is that I really wish the people who have left low ratings would also leave me a review as well. Tell me what you think I am doing wrong, even if it is a single line.

“Didn’t like the plot…” “Boring and repetitive…” “Didn’t read the book, but I dislike Richard Windsor: 1 star.”

It would be so much better to get actual feedback that one can take on board in order to improve.

Okay, it is only natural to get a bit uppity when you see a 1-star rating, with the defensive thought that goes through your mind… “I spent 26 man-hours writing this book; couldn’t you at least have given me two stars for the effort? đŸ˜‰

No complaints, though. Some of the people who gave me 5 stars might not have even thought the eBook deserved 5 stars, but they left a 5-star rating to support me, so it all works out in the end.

Now then, spanking eBook time.

This weekend I am finally going to finish the third and final story for my next eBook. I’m about halfway through that final story at the moment, and the story concerns an aspiring actress who has to participate in a spanking scene in preparation for the role in an upcoming community theater play. She seeks out help from a semi-retired actress to serve as her mentor/trainer in order to prepare for the spanking scene. I won’t give away the entire plot, but the story is inspired by the 1950s plays that you often see on this blog that feature a spanking scene.

Which brings me to my next point:

The Belle of Beaconsfield’s Bloomers

My friends over on SPANK LIT STORIES also have a brand-spanking-new story, and guess what? Their latest story is the exact same type of story that I am currently in the middle of writing myself. I haven’t actually read their new story yet, so I don’t know the exact details of the plotline, but what a great coincidence, eh? Another story, completely free, that follows the theme of the olde stage-play spankings.

Do me a favor: once you are done with my post today, head on over to the Spank Lit site and take a look at their vast collection of free stories. You can read the story that I just mentioned above RIGHT HERE. There is also an audio recording of the story. I do love a good spanking story done in audio format. Just like the old radio stories that we used to listen to back in the day.

Final Stages

Spanking Books, , , , , ,

Today I need to do a read-through of my current eBook manuscript and also finish the final chapter, which is almost finished already.

I’m not going to lie, I’m a little nervous about this new book. I’ve only ever written two F/M short stories before, and one of those was an F/FM story. This time I am writing a novella-length F/M spanking story, which is going to end up being around 16,000 words.

Why am I nervous? It is because the spanking story itself is nothing like I have written before, not as a full book anyway. My full-length eBooks center around character development, and it is a slow burn to get to the spanking action, but with the new F/M eBook, there is very little character development before the spankings begin.

In part, the new eBook is farcical. Over-the-top spankings and unrealistic scenarios, but perhaps I did that deliberately to make it an amusing tale. The story starts off with two young men on the day before their 19th birthdays, who meet up for a day at the pool along with their moms. The birthday spankings ensue, but then the shorts have to come down, and they get another one over their Speedos, only this time it is going to be given by their respective best friend’s mom! It isn’t long before brand-spanking-new hairbrushes are pulled out of two pocketbooks and two bare bottoms are roasted.

Some embarrassing situations happen right after the spankings, and the following day the women who live next door to the two young men get in on the action. A lot of it is comical, and I did enjoy writing it. I’m just not sure how well it will be received. The new eBook will almost certainly go up tomorrow.

This week I also qualify to put one of my eBooks up for a promotional sale, just in time for the July 4th weekend. The book that I have selected is the one below. On Wednesday morning, starting at 9am EST, the eBook below will be on sale for 0.99c. The sale will run for 5 days and will end on Monday morning. Obviously I will repost this on Wednesday morning.

Obviously I’m not going to leave you hanging without a spanking pic. Keeping with the theme of F/M spanking, here is a photo for you. Imagine getting caned in front of the building with all of your classmates looking out of the window watching!

Office Politics

Wednesday Classics, , ,

This is one of those images that I absolutely love. To start with, what the heck is the dude holding? Is it an antenna of some kind, perhaps a fishing rod? It looks like one of those implements that Miss Chris makes and sells đŸ™‚

As for the woman, you just know there is a slip underneath that skirt, and perhaps some silky panties. And she doesn’t seem too bothered by the usual office shenanigan’s!!

Look around the office though. I love what I believe is an old style radio sat on the shelf. You can see an American flag, a whiteboard, a stack of old style printing paper. There is so much to learn about this little office. One wonders if there is a straight backed chair somewhere in that room. Share your thoughts!!

Tears Of A Clown

photos, , , , ,

Do you guys have any idea just how many pics that I have collected? Some have been on my external drives for the better part of 20 years and I have never posted them. Here are a couple of nothing pics that would normally never see the light of day, but as I always say, someone, somewhere will like them.

The reason for posting this first image is simple. On Thursday I have a small Youtube video scheduled where I visit the building that used to be home to Irving Klaw’s studio and shop, so to coincide with that I will also post an Irving Klaw set on this blog.

Who knows, now that July has arrived, maybe I will post everyday for the entire month? Try and clear some of this archive if I can. There are just so many photos that I need to share with you all.

The first image, as you will all no doubt know, is Betty Page caning a clown doll, and the second image is said to have come from Disneyland, but take that with a grain of salt. It is the Internet after all, and people will make up all types of stories đŸ˜‰ However, it is interesting that the sculpture is in a park of some description back in the 1940s. If you look closely you will see a catapult in the hand of the spankee. Click on the image for the full sized version.

Rock Paper Scissors

videos, , , , , , , , , ,

Over on Youtube I have been binging on these Asian videos where they play Rock, Paper, Scissors and the loser gets a whack. Now, we are talking canes, switches, belts, paddles, you name it, they have an array of implements that they use. Some variation of a cane or a switch are the most commonly used items.

To be honest I can’t quite work out the language, and I am normally good with Asian languages. I’m thinking this is Thai, but it could be Chinese as well. Keep in mind that the loser gets whacked so you are likely to see either M/F, F/M or F/F.

There is a LOT of jumping up and down and hopping from one foot to the other if that is your thing đŸ™‚ And let me give you a little tip as well, instead of just clicking the play button, look for the link that says “Watch on Youtube” and click on that instead. There are literally dozens and dozens of these videos on Youtube so if you watch it on there you will see similar recommended videos in the sidebar as well.

Let me know if you recognize the language, I would love to know if it is indeed Thai.

*Edit: I ran the channel name through Google and it detected Chinese, so I am likely wrong on the language.

50 Quid Caning

Tomorrow will be the 17th anniversary of this blog and I have a special Christmas spanking picture ready for you. In relation to my post yesterday, if anyone knows the person behind the persona “Jameslovebirch” could you get them to reach out to me? I’m not on social media anymore so I have no idea if they have a Fetlife or Twitter profile. That was the username, to my knowledge, that edited Pixie’s wiki page and I want to make sure that the information is corrected. They can email me at richardofwindsor@gmail.com

I’m only throwing this post up so that I can ask the question above, but as I am here I will share a newspaper article. I’m not sure of the exact year but it is before 1979 as that is when Rhodesia became Zimbabwe. Salisbury is now known as Harare.

A switch in time spanks nine!!

In a short while I will give you all an update on the blog. It isn’t over by any means, I’m just taking a bit of an extended break for now. In a nutshell I have lost interest in spanking, can you believe that? A lifelong obsession just disappeared.

Something happened a while back that turned me off of the scene, but who knew at that point that it would also lead to me not even thinking about spanking for days at a time?

In a short while I will give you a full update but do keep in mind this, I still have reams and reams of spanking pics that have barely been seen before, and I fully intend on providing those to you. Hopefully in years to come many new spanking blogs will arrive and my site can provide a foundation where they can build their own sites off of the back of my hard work. Something that I have been providing for years as it is.

Anyway, I will update you all very soon on how I will progress from here.

Letters To The Editor

There wasn’t anything that I had planned to post for today, but as I was sorting files I figured why not share some clippings that are unlucky ever to get posted unless I make a conscious effort to do so.

So again, no need for me to blather on, you can all read đŸ™‚ Do the clippings represent real life? Debatable in my opinion, but back then nobody had any spanking magazines to send their fantasies to đŸ™‚
