Administrative/biographical history

Peter Freeman is an incorrigible spanking enthusiast, a dilettante photographer and possibly the world’s most prolific writer of erotica, with well over one hundred titles published under more than a dozen pseudonyms across a career of over twenty years. He was born in London in 1962 and went through the English public school system, which may or may not have influenced his personal tastes. In 1979 he won an Exhibition to Magdalen College, Oxford, and having taken his degree he went on to study at Manchester University.

Abandoning academia in favour of the wine trade, he spent several years as a specialist importer of fine Loire and Burgundy, took up organising tastings and

teaching wine appreciation, before finally giving in to his true love, erotica. He has also managed to marry and help bring up two children, all the while balancing a respectable if a somewhat eccentric image with a lifestyle of exquisite depravity. Now semi-retired, he lives in London and Devon and takes roughly equal pleasure in wandering Dartmoor and spanking as many nubile bottoms as he can get his hands-on, with either a camera or a glass of wine to hand.
