Stacie is a really bad girl. After assaulting an officer, it’s either to prison or to experimental inpatient therapy with her. Without caring about details, only about not becoming a prison bulldyke’s bitch, she chooses therapy. But what will Stacie do when she meets Mommy, her new therapist? Faced with spankings, diapers, and punishments for being a spoiled brat, will she choose prison instead? All characters depicted are 18+, intended for adult audiences only. A steamy new series from taboo erotica author Velvet O'Meara, many of whose titles are banned! For the open-minded only. Excerpt: “I knew they’d tried to brief you and you hadn’t bothered to listen, but I didn’t think it was this bad,” Mommy said. “Never mind that now. Listen, young lady, we’re going to take you indoors, out of that nasty jumpsuit, and get you properly dressed. You will never use such filthy language in my hearing again, is that clear?” “You’re f****** crazy,” Stacie spat, amber eyes blazing. “This is supposed to be therapy? Grown people dressed like babies? What the f*** is this place?” She was still ranting when her head reeled back as Mommy slapped her across the face. It stung badly, and Stacie raised one hand disbelievingly to her face, words stopped dead in her throat. She tried to wrench her arm away from the woman, but the grip was like iron. She kicked the woman instead. Mommy slapped her again, harder. “This is not usual therapy, and I’ll only tell you this once. If you behave, you’ll be treated well. If you’re very good, I’ll even reward you. If you insist on disobeying me, you’ll be punished. I’ve read your files and heard all about you from your lawyer and the judge. You’re a spoiled little brat, and you’ll be treated like one until you learn to behave.” “F*** you, you crazy b****! I’d rather go to prison!” Stacie finally managed to wrench her arm away and made a grab for the car door, but the vehicle was already moving and she missed. She coughed as the collar of her jumpsuit suddenly choked her; Mommy had grabbed her by the back of the jumpsuit and was dragging her bodily towards a bench intended for playground seating. “I highly doubt that, honey,” Mommy said, mouth set in a tight line, keeping a firm grip on her new charge as she dragged her along. The two adult “children” stared, open-mouthed, as Stacie fought, kicking and shrieking, the entire way. Mommy tore the jumpsuit open down past the waist with her bare hands, sat down, and pulled Stacie down by the hair over her lap. Before Stacie knew what was happening, Mommy brought her right hand down hard across Stacie’s firm bottom.

"[The report] finds that supervision -– probation and parole -– drives high numbers of people, disproportionately those who are Black and brown, right back to jail or prison, while in large part failing to help them get needed services and resources. In states examined in the report, people are often incarcerated for violating the rules of their supervision or for low-level crimes, and receive disproportionate punishment following proceedings that fail to adequately protect their fair trial rights."--Publisher website.

New York Times bestseller David Arnold's most ambitious novel to date; Station Eleven meets The 5th Wave in a genre-smashing story of survival, hope, and love amid a ravaged earth. When a deadly Fly Flu sweeps the globe, it leaves a shell of the world that once was. Among the survivors are eighteen-year-old Nico and her dog, on a voyage devised by Nico's father to find a mythical portal; a young artist named Kit, raised in an old abandoned cinema; and the enigmatic Deliverer, who lives Life after Life in an attempt to put the world back together. As swarms of infected Flies roam the earth, these few survivors navigate the woods of post-apocalyptic New England, meeting others along the way, each on their own quest to find life and love in a world gone dark. The Electric Kingdom is a sweeping exploration of art, storytelling, eternal life, and above all, a testament to the notion that even in an exterminated world, one person might find beauty in another.

When I found an apartment posting online from a woman offering to let someone stay with her in exchange for help around the house and ‘proper manners’, I couldn’t turn it down. After all, I was a broke, 18-year-old woman in a strange city, about to be homeless if I didn’t find a place quick! Madame Lola seemed incredibly sweet at the start. But soon she started to demonstrate that she had some pretty strict expectations regarding ‘proper manners’ under her roof. For example, forcing me to wear a humiliating, girly pink dress. And limiting my use of the bathroom! It didn’t take long until she decided I had never been properly potty-trained… And began subjecting me to nightly enemas next to the potty chair! Before I knew it, Madame Lola was threatening to put me right back into diapers again… How the heck did my ‘potty-training’ turn into my ‘un-potty training’?! And why does it feel like I’m losing more and more control every day!? This full-length, erotic ABDL novella will have you on the edge from start to finish. It’s full of corporal punishment, diaper discipline, humiliation, and some very big accidents! For mature readers only!
