Book Description
An epic adventure—the most brilliant escape and evasion from the Nazis ever written. Eric Williams, a Royal Air Force bomber captain, was shot down over Germany in 1942 and imprisoned in Stalag Luft III, the infamous German POW camp. Digging an underground tunnel hidden beneath a wooden vaulting horse, he managed to escape after ten months and, accompanied by a fellow officer, made his way back to England. In this thinly fictionalized retelling, Williams relates his story in three distinct phases: the construction of a tunnel (its entrance camouflaged by the wooden vaulting horse in the exercise yard) and hiding the large quantities of sand he dug; the escape; and the journey on foot and by train to the port of Stettin, where Williams and his fellow escapee stowed away aboard a Danish ship, the Norensen. From painstakingly digging the tunnel to secretly depositing the dirt and gravel around the camp to dodging searchlights and search dogs and climbing barbed wire fences, this is an escape story hard to beat. For sheer heroism, courage, and perseverance, this classic is arguably the most ingenious POW escape of WWII. The Wooden Horse became a legend among servicemen long before its publication in 1949 and has remained one ever since. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Book Description
At twenty-four, Vanessa is highly intelligent, driven and beautiful. She works as a Clinical Assistant to Dr. Peter Miles, a Sexual Psychologist. The two hit it off personally, but after their first date, she’s insulted when later he demands she take off her clothes. Although he explains that he’s a Dominant and wants her as his submissive, she’s not ready and asks him to leave. Titillated by the incident, Vanessa spends hours researching BDSM, finding that the idea of punishment excites her. Knowing that Peter isn’t the kind to hurt her, she hatches a plan to win him back. Arriving early at the office, she strips naked and binds herself to Peter’s patient couch, leaving her body wide open. As he walks in the door, she offers herself to him, uttering "Master, may I speak?" Her life as a BDSM lifestyle sub has just begun. Peter will spank, paddle, crop, whip, bind, cage, and publicly exhibit his new submissive. And as the story unfolds, there will be a kidnapping plot and Peter’s plans to launch an institute, all with Vanessa as the centerpiece of the action.
