Hi, I’m Mark, a married, straight male who’s here for the sole purposes of submitting and reading stories, and making likeminded friends.

I joined Lush when I learned I could submit stories I've written for members to enjoy, and comment on, good or bad. My stories tend to be long, with a lot of background details and dialog to paint a colorful picture of what’s happening and make my characters come to life in your mind. I like the way one commenter described one of my stories as “Theatre for the mind.” That’s exactly the kind of reaction I’m hoping for! I hope you read some of them and have a similar experience. They're sometimes inspired by a spark of reality but are 99% fantasy.

Given the title, "Sultan of Spank" by my favorite story moderator, it should be no surprise I've had a lifelong fascination with spanking. I can’t seem to get enough of it and enjoy reading those stories here. I've submitted well over a hundred of my own spanking stories, a great many of them part of several series with the 'You Need a Spanking' (YNAS) theme, an icebreaking phrase given to me by a real-life girlfriend, but sadly these stories are 99% fiction as well. They're told from a first-person point of view as an ongoing fantasy of a life I'd love to have lived, culminating with a love story that's still my favorite.

I've been branching out to other genres and seem to find more interest from readers in categories like Facesitting, Cheating and MILF. I hope you'll check them out!

I really appreciate my growing list of followers, a choice few of which are always there to offer encouragement.

Many thanks to all the Lush moderators who've done all they can to make me a better writer. Special thanks go to moderators Krystal, Cydia, Genny, and especially Kat, who've done more than their share.

So, hello to all Lush friends, members and moderators! I hope you try, and like, some of my stories!
