February 15th, 2011

The Desert Peach #1 (Comic) (Kindle 1 & 2 Special Edition w/ Extras)

Product Description

THE SERIES:
The Desert Peach is a comic book created by Donna Barr, chronicling the adventures of the eponymous protagonist, Erwin “The Desert Fox” Rommel’s fictitious homosexual younger brother, Oberst Manfred Pfirsich Marie Rommel (1900-1990), nicknamed the “Desert Peach”. Early issues of the comic focused on the Peach’s command of a misfit unit of the Afrika Korps from 1940 to 1943; subsequent issues have explored the pre- and post-war lives of Pfirsich (German for “Peach”) and his supporting cast. The Desert Peach was first published in 1989, by MU Press/AEON, and later by A Fine Line. 32 issues were released throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, and subsequently re-released in eight collected volumes; as well, a Desert Peach musical was produced in 1992, and “Bread and Swans”, a Desert Peach novel, was released in 2005. With the exception of the musical, all Desert Peach material has been created entirely by Barr.

THIS ISSUE:
61 KINDLE-SIZED PAGES OF STORY! 83 PAGES IN ALL (including extras)!!! ROBOT COMICS and A FINE LINE PRESS are proud to bring the entire award-winning DP Series to modern e-reading audiences with THE DESERT PEACH #1.

It’s history and humor with not just a dash of true-to-life dramatics.

CRITICS AND PROFESSIONALS HAVE SAID ABOUT “THE DESERT PEACH”:
“The Desert Peach is one of the most enjoyable comics to come down the pike in recent years. The stories, like the Peach himself, are tempered with a sense of humanity…The Peach is a great character, not simply because of his dashing good looks and politeness, but also because he is a fully dimensional, well-rounded character. The stories are funny and touching.”
–MIKE KAZALEH, INKER, REN AND STIMPY

“This is one of the few comics I eagerly look forward to. There’s so much going on, I can read ‘em over and over and still get something new from ‘em. On this little stage set in North Africa around 1940 are played out some of the most intricately-crafted comedy-dramas this medium has to offer.”
–ROBERTA GREGORY, ARTISTIC LICENTIOUSNESS, WINGING IT, and NAUGHTY BITS

“Thanks for your excellent work; I think you are among the best in comics today.”
–MICHAEL VANCE, SUSPENDED ANIMATION

“This book is heart-warmingly individual, funny, irreverent and quite simply brilliant in its concept and execution. I can’t praise it enough for its constant breaking-down of stereotypes.”
–PAUL BIRCH, COMICS INTERNATIONAL

“The woman could draw on a shovel with a rock.”
–CHUCK MELVILLE, MU PRESS/AEON

The Slave Chroniques Book 4 A Play Master 2nd Edition (Kindle Edition)

February 13th, 2011

The Slave Chroniques Book 4 A Play Master 2nd Edition

Product Description

Each book contains BDSM situations and events that have been done by the author over the years with various female submissives. Underwater bondage to endurance suspension inside at the top of 100-foot grain storage silo’s, tied on a “rape rack” where three males can use the submissive sexually at the same time including the swallowing of a large cock like a sword, thus putting the submissive in danger of having cum shot into her lungs, which has happened on several occasions. Dangerous bondage involving “noose play” where the submissive is bound and actually hanged for short periods of time or until she has a orgasm from the bondage/noose play, and suspension bondage from hot air balloons. The tying of a submissive, after she has orally serviced the cock of the author, then gagged to keep the taste of cum in her mouth for hours. All of the bondage and games in books 1 thru 5 have actually been done by the author, including the “blunt” arrow hunt of a naked submissive in the desert. In book 6 on he has mixed in some of the fantasies that submissives have described to him. All of which are possible, however many of these fantasies would include injury or death and thus can only be written about as fiction. However several submissives want their clitoris removed so they can be a person who can not achieve a sexual orgasm ever again, before they are “really” mummified. Others wish to have arms, legs and tongues reduced so they can become “milk cows”. Once written these fantasies would then be read by the submissives while they enjoy either oral, electrical, dildo or other stimulation of their vaginal area and clitoris. The names of some of these submissives are included in books 6 and 7 as given to the author and some from ads on the Internet seeking someone to help them achieve various goals.
The author is not a professional writer, but is a person who has “played” in the BDSM scene for many years.
These books are based on activities that the author has actually done with various submissive females, primarily Karen, known as Felicia, or are the fantasies described to the author by various submissives of situations they asked him to do to them for their own fantasy fulfillment, including arranging gang bangs, gang simulated rape, prolonged suspension, torture and more. Therefore as you read the book you can hopefully visualize the acts being preformed by the author and a willing and helplessly bound and available female submissive. The photos are his from some of his adventures. www.jdscaife.com for more information and photos.
Each book leads you deeper and deeper into Felicia’s life and her descend into deeper waters of submission until she is submerges her life totally into submission and becoming an owned animal to be used for the pleasure of her owner, whoever that might be, and herself regardless of the cost and danger. Each book takes you through the mental and physical progression of her growth into being such an animal. The author, with the help of others in real life, led a young lady down this path until she is kept in a barn as an owned animal for her owner. The author trained this “willing slave” for a master who lives in a foreign country where, if you are connected, such ownership is legal.

F. Scott Fitzgerald Collection (Kindle Edition)

F. Scott Fitzgerald Collection

Product Description

Your purchase helps fund free educational resources at BompaCrazy.com!!!

“Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American writer of novels and short stories, whose works are evocative of the Jazz Age, a term he coined himself. He is widely regarded as one of the twentieth century’s greatest writers. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the “Lost Generation” of the Twenties. He finished four novels, including The Great Gatsby, with another published posthumously, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with despair and age.

The 1920s proved the most influential decade of Fitzgerald’s development.The Great Gatsby, considered his masterpiece, was published in 1925. Fitzgerald made several excursions to Europe, notably Paris and the French Riviera, and became friends with many members of the American expatriate community in Paris, notably Ernest Hemingway.

Hemingway looked up to Fitzgerald as an experienced professional writer. Hemingway greatly admired The Great Gatsby and wrote in his A Moveable Feast “If he could write a book as fine as The Great Gatsby I was sure that he could write an even better one” (153). Hemingway expressed his deep admiration for Fitzgerald, and Fitzgerald’s flawed, self-defeating character, when he prefaced his chapters concerning Fitzgerald in A Moveable Feast with:

His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly’s wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred. Later he became conscious of his damaged wings and their construction and he learned to think and could not fly any more because the love of flight was gone and he could only remember when it had been effortless. (129)
Much of what Hemingway wrote in A Moveable Feast helped to establish the myth of Fitzgerald’s dissipation and loss (of ability, social control, and life) and Zelda’s hand in that demise. Though the bulk of Hemingway’s text is factually correct, it is also colored by his disappointment in Fitzgerald, as well as Hemingway’s own rivalrous response towards any competitor, living or dead. That disappointment was most evident in The Green Hills of Africa, where he specifically mentions Fitzgerald as an archetypal ruined American writer; Hemingway had been both shocked and unnerved by Fitzgerald’s account of his own difficulties in his nonfiction essays and notebooks from the 1930s, published as The Crack-Up (with Edmund Wilson as editor) in 1945.

Fitzgerald’s friendship with Hemingway was quite vigorous and as many of Fitzgerald’s relationships would prove to be. (As, indeed, were many of the thrice-divorced Hemingway’s.) Hemingway did not get on well with Zelda, either. He claimed that she “encouraged her husband to drink so as to distract Scott from his ‘real’ work on his novel,” the other work being the short stories he sold to magazines. This “whoring”, as Fitzgerald, and subsequently Hemingway, called these sales, was a sore point in the authors’ friendship. Fitzgerald claimed that he would first write his stories in an authentic manner but then put in “twists that made them into saleable magazine stories.” ” Wikipedia.

Everyday Foods in War Time

Product Description

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III THE MEAT WE OUGHT TO SAVE DO not buy a pound of meat until you have bought three quarts of milk” is a “war sign” pointing two ways. On the one hand it tells us that we need to save meat; on the other, that we should encourage the production of that most indispensable food—milk. But what a revolution in some households if this advice is heeded! Statisticians tell us that Americans have been consuming meat at the rate of 171 pounds per capita per year, which means nearly half a pound apiece every day for each man, woman, child, and infant in arms. Now, as mere infants and some older folk have not had any, it follows that many of us have had a great deal more. Did we need it? Shall we be worse off without it ? Meat is undeniably popular. Inspite of the rising price and the patriotic spirit of conservation, meat consumption goes on in many quarters at much the usual rate. There is probably no other one food so generally liked. It has a decided and agreeable flavor, a satisfactory “chew,” and leaves an after-sense of being well fed that many take as the sign of whether they are well nourished or not. It digests well, even when eaten rapidly, and perhaps partly for this reason is favored by the hurried man of affairs. It is easy to prepare and hence is appreciated by the cook, who knows that even with unskillful treatment it will be acceptable and require few accessories to make an agreeable meal. Its rich flavor helps to relieve the flatness of foods like rice, hominy, beans, or bread. From this point of view there is no such thing as a “meat substitute.” But, nutritionally speaking, meat is only one of many; undeniably a good source of protein, but no better than milk or eggs. A lamb chop is a very nice item on a bill of fare, but the protein it contains can be…
