Naughty Spanking Stories gets 5 of 5 stars!

From Passional, review of Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z by Robert Rah:

Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z is an exceptionally well-edited volume: Rachel Kramer Bussel has managed to compile a book that not only ranges widely, but that never seems to fall flat. In some edited volumes, stories that are both well-written and sexy seem to alternate with stories where the sex is bland, or where the author can’t seem to string together coherent paragraphs; this never happens here. And some added appeal, for those who are sexually omnivorous: stories in this book feature sex that’s diverse and whether it’s queer, hetero, coupled, or polyamorous, it’s always well done.

Sadly, I found out this week that volume 2 isn't coming out until September. The serenity prayer worked again - I cannot change that fact in any way, so am just mentally moving on. It'll still be just as hot then. In the meantime, you can add Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z as your MySpace friend. A little silly, I know, but maybe I'll add story snippets and audio clips there at some point.

The good news is that I have 5 other anthologies being released before then (ones I even get royalties on, though I've realized that erotica books are not where it's at if you want to make money but every little bit helps): Glamour Girls: Femme/Femme Erotica, First-Timers: True Stories of Lesbian Awakening, and then the three pansexual Fetish Chest anthologies I'm co-editing with Christopher Pierce and will be reading probably hundreds of submissions for in the next few weeks (the deadline's tomorrow for those thinking of submitting work): Ultimate Undies: Erotic Stories about Lingerie and Underwear, Sexiest Soles: Erotic Stories about Feet and Shoes and Secret Slaves: Erotic Stories of Bondage.

For now, I'm content to nest and sort and get rid of stuff not by dropping it on the street by accident, as I lost my pretty Fluevog shoe last night, but deliberately tossing those items I no longer need.
