About The Discipline for a Lasting Marriage Series by Sigrid Katrinsdatter

A 15-book series of novellas about a young WWII-era couple with a domestic discipline marriage, Charlie and Lydia. The series charts their “spanking marriage,” the challenges to their privacy posed by neighbors, having children, dealing with health problems, and so on in the context of a “spanking marriage,” as well as charting the ups-and-downs of their marriage generally and their respective acting careers from Winter 1948 to Fall 1963. Charlie is a loving, but firm husband, willing to spank his wife if she puts her health and safety at risk. Lydia is a bright, charming woman, who is fiercely independent, but willing to submit to her husband in this one area of their marriage, even though it means accepting periodic painful spankings. The two enjoy a loving, devoted marriage that seems set to withstand the test of time, as well as the unique challenges of making a “spanking marriage” work between two, opinionated, stubborn people.

From Book 1: The erotic story of a young actress and her actor husband, and her first loving, disciplinary, over-the-knee spanking at his very firm hand. …Lydia makes the mistake of walking home alone past midnight through Hell’s Kitchen after a theater performance, and arrives home to a frightened, upset husband, determined to not back down on an earlier promise to spank her if this ever happened again… Read how the well-suited and adoring young couple find a compromise to his determination to correct her dangerous behavior by giving her a very sore bottom, and her equal determination to not submit to the somewhat terrifying prospect of painful physical discipline and loss of personal control. See how the two come to a loving reconciliation, even though Lydia does indeed consent to ending up with a sore and stinging behind at her husband’s hand.

From Book 15: Charlie and Lydia face a serious health crisis, when Lydia starts having persistent, debilitating headaches. The specialists they consult seem as mystified as to the cause of the headaches and cure for them as Lydia and Charlie themselves. Meanwhile, Charlie prepares for a lengthy location shoot in Waikiki, and Lydia wants the family to join him, just as they usually do. Without talking it over with Charlie, Lydia doesn’t follow through with yet another specialist consult in L.A., and starts coping with her headaches by swimming (a great choice) and self-medicating with alcohol, a not-so-great choice. Once the family arrives in Waikiki, all appears well, with Lydia’s swimming skills improving enough for her to take scuba-diving classes. Then, suddenly everything spirals out-of-control when Lydia shows up for a scuba-diving class after downing two shots of vodka and gets pulled over later in the evening under-the-influence. Charlie turns to their old friend, psychiatrist Chris Lowry, for advice on getting Lydia’s health problems solved. But once Lydia is on the mend, the two must confront how to handle her serious and dangerous misbehavior in the context of their “spanking marriage.”

Author Bio:
Sigrid Katrinsdatter is a pseudonym for an author who is a real-life “spanko.” Happily married for 20 years, with two beautiful daughters, the woman behind “Sigrid” has a decidedly alpha personality in every other aspect of her life other than spanking (where she is a contented “sub”), is a trial lawyer specializing in criminal defense, enjoys cats and dogs, and struggles with her attraction to and simultaneous discomfort with themes of domestic discipline in other authors’ works, as someone who believes wholeheartedly in female equality and full female agency. Yet readers will note “The Discipline for a Lasting Marriage Series,” makes clear DD appeals to her viscerally on some level as a fantasy, when administered by a dominant but clearly devoted and loving alpha male. Sigrid just launched the characters featured here — Lydia and Charlie — into a romantic series of spanking short stories and novels….up to 15 novellas and counting.

But when she comes face-to-face with the Sheriff, Vangie can’t ignore the fact that one of her macarons was involved in a murder. She has to find the real murderer.

About World war II in Antwerp, Belgium. Experiences of a Young Boy

In a series of anecdotes I describe my experiences living in Antwerp, Belgium during the German occupation of WW II. I was 7 years old when the war broke out and 11 at the end. While I experienced some of the hardships of that era, I also have memories that made me think of it being an “adventure”.

Realizing now the darkness of that era, I apologize for the lighthearted tone in the book .
War is, of course, terrible. Any war. All the suffering, all the death, all the wounded, the destruction, homelessness, cruelty, hunger, fear, and panic. It may also bring out the best in some people: heroism, patriotism, compassion, and altruism. But one would never think that war might be seen as an adventure; in some ways for me it was.

In this short book I write about my memories of this period of time from the invasion of Belgium, through the German occupation, and to the immediate post war era. For most Belgians this was a hard and sad time full of suffering. While I experienced some of that suffering and the fear as well, many of my memories are about exciting events and experiences (to a young boy), to the point that I remember this time as an “adventure.”

I will justifiably be faulted for talking so lightly about this dark period in Belgium’s and the world’s history and for seemingly having somewhat enjoyed it all , while people were indiscriminately killed, tortured, and exterminated by the Nazis and while there was much suffering, destruction, maiming, and death. Remember though that I was a little boy growing up and mostly unaware of the atrocities occurring away from my immediate environment. Also, my parents did their best to shelter me from the many horrors.

If a reader is offended by this, I do apologize and want to reassure the reader that now at age 83, I am of course fully aware of the darkness of the years between 1940 and 1945. Seen in this light I do hope that this will be an interesting and enjoyable read for contemporaries and others.

I do not want this book to be perceived as historical, but as a series of anecdotes still present in the memory of this little boy. There might be some inaccuracies as to time and place, as memories do fade, but all happened.

Again I apologize to the reader about the lighthearted way in which I am writing down these memories.

Author Bio:
I was born on November 3, 1933 in a small town close the major port of Antwerp in Belgium. All of my primary and high school education was in Antwerp. I lived through WW II and the German occupation.

After graduating from medical school I emigrated to the US where I now live (retired) in Miami, Florida with my wife Anne.

During my professional career I have often been asked about my experiences in during the German occupation of Belgium in World War II. After much prodding by family, friends and colleagues I finally relented and have written down my recollections. Doing this was actually rewarding as during the process more and more memories came to the foreground.

I have decided to make the book available for free downloading via Smashwords and explain in the beginning of the book why I chose to do that. However Amazon did not allow me do make the book available for free.

From a very early age, fitness and nutrition have been very important to me. I was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes aged 8, which has imprinted on me the importance of health in my day to day life.

Through my books I hope to share this knowledge with you and provide you with a good understanding of the diets and some novel and helpful tips to help you achieve your health and well-being goals. Hopefully I can act as a filter for you as to what works and what is just a gimmick (raspberry ketones for instance!).
