About the author

Rollin Hand

I like to think I write the uncommon spanking story. Not the usual thing-- the summons to the principal's office, the schoolgirl caught smoking, the wife overcharging the credit card. No, I am a writer of erotic spanking fiction, but my stories are different. It's not just about spanking. Instead of a "spanking story" it's a "story with spanking." I try to infuse my stories with interesting plots and interesting characters so that they are fully realized original creations, stories that go beyond the tired clichés so common to the genre.

I've been writing since 1999, but when I started I did it mostly for my own enjoyment. It hasn't been until fairly recently that I made an attempt to bring my writings into wider public view. At first I was just a reader, a consumer of erotic spanking fiction. I read all of the classic Victorian literature and the then popular pulp fiction writers of the day like Paul Little and Will Henry. But then I discovered I liked to write.

I wrote in two distinct periods, from 1999 to 2003, and more recently in 2010-2012. The writings in the early period can be characterized as an attempt to recreate the style of the pulp fiction writers of the sixties and seventies. In the more recent period I have focused on writing stories with more robustly developed characters and stronger plot lines. The idea was to write so that the story could stand on its own, and not be regarded as a mere  "spanking story" following a stereotypical plot line.

 I write in a wide range of styles and genres. My stories are M/F, F/F, and F/M, sometimes with the orientations mixed in the same story. My genres include contemporary romance, domestic drama, college sorority tales, mystery/thrillers, historical romance, western romance, humor and fantasy. Although most of my works are short fiction and novellas, I have written three novel length works, "Atonement" a private eye-type mystery, "Flash Gordon and the Menace from Mongo" a sci-fi adventure, and "LaForge" a supernatural thriller trilogy. These are slated for publication in 2013.
