In Random Point, everything is linked to spanking and this is true for the author of the Shadow Lane novels as well. Eve Howard has been writing and producing spanking erotica since the 1980’s. Eve has written, directed and produced over 150 spanking videos. Female-friendly and designed to make people feel good, rather than guilty, about being into spanking, Eve suggests an irreverent alternative to the all or nothing B&D subculture portrayed in such beloved classics as The Story of O. Many spanking fans have discovered the real life spanking scene by following the same patterns of social networking as described in the Shadow Lane novels. And for almost twenty years, Eve’s company Shadow Lane has been one of the primary social organs of the real life spanking scene. There are ten titles in the Shadow Lane series and Eve is currently working on a pictorial publication called Shadow Lane’s Art of Spanking. She lives with her husband Tony Elka and their cats in Las Vegas.

“I’ve become addicted to the “Random Point” series so much that I can’t wait until the next chapter. I’ve ordered the first two Shadow Lane volumes and have re-read them over and over. I never tire of them. Eve is the only person I know who can make an enema sexy.”

“I discovered Shadow Lane about a month ago via AOL. Prior to that time I thought I could write excellent spanking erotica. Then I ordered, “The Problem with Laura.” This is just a note to commend Eve Howard’s spectacular talent and to say thanks for an incredible erotic experience.”

“I have just completed “Return to Random Point” and decided that I had to write about how much I enjoyed it. I have not been so aroused since reading my first discipline novel many years ago, about a girl raised in England and “coming of age” as I believe they put it. More recently I have enjoyed reading Grant Andrews’ My Darling Dominatrix and Ann Rice’s “Beauty” series. It seems that women, though, have the right touch when it comes to writing about this subject. Eve, especially, knows how to touch that erotic nerve and bring it to a pure, raw sensuality until one feels that he/she is near bursting with lust.”

“I, for one, have always loved (and by loved I mean devoured... breathlessly) Eve Howard’s novelettes. To read them… especially when I was just ‘coming out’... was to feel completely validated. I truly identified with each and every heroine; the feisty, sassy ones, the shy, demure ultra 'subby' ones... the young ones, and the more mature. I loved the gentle yet firm “taken in hand” nature of the romantic variety of spanking D’s that Eve always incorporated into the stories. I loved that the plots were not complicated… but, feasible nonetheless. I loved the depictions of sexual escapades after many of the spanking interludes. I appreciated that the girls were cherished and adored by the affably rogue-ish gents… that the submitting was willing and desired… that it wasn't like ‘rape.’
I like the settings... having grown up in New England and living here almost my whole life. I LOVED the idea of the bookstore (which I always find sexy). Then and now. I could cite many passages too, but I fear I've rambled enough. Eve was/is always my favorite spanking author.”
