An Author's Angst
Page 17
Looking up she became aware that she recognized a great many customers, including the entirety of her book club members and their partners. Several waved the books they were holding in their hands, all smiling. Seeing Quincy, Lizzy and Marilyn, Jonathon and Benjamin, Ever and Rob and Dina and Brandon had her choking up. Seeing Jeffrey go to stand beside Charles and Violet, the look on her husband's face had her swallowing hard.
Venia managed to give a shaky smile, but dropped her head to blink back the tears that threatened to fall. She picked up the pen that was provided, her lip caught between her teeth, not knowing if she was to simply scrawl her name across the page or if interaction with the customer would be required. Seeing a book being set down before her, she took a deep breath, and looked up.
"Just make it out to Cecily," her daughter said, with a grin. "Oh, and just so you know, this book is changing my life."
"Our lives and we can't thank you enough," Carlton said as he stepped up beside his wife.
The book signing didn't start again for several minutes. It was hard to autograph books when tears of complete joy were streaming down your face.
THE END
A Note to my Readers:
Thank you for returning to the incredible community of Corbin's Bend. I hope you've enjoyed Venia's and Jeffrey's story of how love is not restricted to the young—it will always be alive if you are young at heart. I encourage you to read every book of every season that make up the much loved Corbin's Bend series. Every book is different and yet all will leave you feeling as if you wish you could mail your application in to become a resident. After all, who wouldn't want to be surrounded by such good friends and neighbors? Since that, unfortunately, will remain a fantasy, I hope you find true love and commitment in your own life.
Happy Reading –
Maggie Ryan

Author for Blushing Books. I write both contemporary erotica and historical spanking romances. I enjoy writing about characters that enjoy the provocative D/S lifestyle of today’s times as well as taking a step back into the past to write stories that take place in the Victorian era with age-play as a theme.
I live in the great Lone Star state with my wonderful husband. I have always loved reading. Growing up in a family with four children, it was difficult finding a place to be alone. I was probably one of the squeakiest clean girls on the planet as I would spend hours in the tub so I could read without being bothered. It wasn’t long before I began to make up my own endings to the books I was reading. From there, it just seemed natural to begin writing my own stories.
I never try to restrict myself to any one genre because there are just too many delicious possibilities out there and inside my head. I admit to being somewhat of a romantic though as my stories always must have a great deal of love, passion, corporal discipline and, of course, great, mind-blowing sex. I want my readers to be able to see, hear, feel and know the characters that I’m creating as well as I do when I bring them to life and transfer their stories to paper. I want my women to be strong of character but also strong enough to know that submission given in love and trust to your partner does not make you weaker, it makes you far stronger. I want my men to be sexy, strong, demanding alpha males who know how to take what they want while acknowledging it is a gift they have been blessed with by the women that have chosen to submit to them. I want there to be no doubt that they truly would die for the other no matter how others might view their relationship.
