Yay! I'm editing another spanking book. DO NOT RESPOND HERE if you have questions about this book - any questions (though hopefully all the info you need is below) should be sent to spankingantho at gmail.com

You're free to forward/repost this - I may tweak it a tiny bit, and I have another call I'll be posting soon as well, but the basics are all correct. Happy writing!

Call for Submissions

Spanked: Red-Cheeked Erotica
Edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel
To be published by Cleis Press in 2008

Editor Rachel Kramer Bussel is looking for erotica stories on her favorite topic: spanking! I want creative, original spanking stories in a variety of settings using all sorts of implements. Spanking as part of roleplay, discipline, adventure, foreplay, etc. are fair game. The book will be primarily heterosexual, with a mix of male and female spankers and spankees, though there will be some lesbian/gay/bisexual content included. I'd especially like stories that aren't run-of-the-mill but that are believable/realistic.

Unusual settings/scenarios, a variety of spanking implements, use of sex toys/bondage, group scenarios, and public spanking scenes are all encouraged. Most of all, I want stories that truly eroticize spanking in every way possible. Stories can include sex as well as spanking but don't have to if the plotline and spanking are done right. All characters should be over 18, and no incest or bestiality. To get a taste of what I like, please consult Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z 1 and 2 (Pretty Things Press). Original stories only; no reprints.

Payment: Contributors will receive $50/story and 2 copies of the anthology on publication.

How to submit: Send double spaced Times New Roman 12 point font Word document OR RTF of 2,000-4,000 word story along with your legal name (and pseudonym if applicable), mailing address, and 50-75 word bio to spankingantho at gmail.com - make sure you indent at the start of each paragraph and do not add extra lines between paragraphs. Those who do not submit in this format and include this information will not be considered. If you want to make sure I've received your submission, please state that in your cover letter. Send only the final version of your story; do NOT submit a draft or unfinished version only to later submit an updated version. If for some reason it is impossible to send your story as a Word document or RTF attachment, please paste it into the body of your email.

You can expect to hear from me by January 2008 at the latest. Any questions about this anthology should be sent to spankingantho at gmail.com

Deadline: September 30, 2007

Eros Zine also reviewed Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z 2. Here's a snippet:

As one who is naturally dominant, being able to trust my pain and pleasure to the person attached to the knee I'm laid over would be a tough one. The sub in Christopher Pierce's "Five Bucks a Swat" is an inspiration for all us minor control freaks. By putting his whole being into the hands of another (many others, in this case), he reaches the most orgasmic heights he has ever known. If I were single, I'd be more than open for a naughty romp similar to the one in Nichelle's "Hit Me with Your Best Shot". Anyone who respects the talent and complexity of classical music will enjoy "In Perfect Time" by Saskia Walker. What I wouldn't give to have a maestro like that when I was in high school!...

Whether the idea of a light spanking makes you raise an eyebrow or you are nursing welts from your last session, this collection has something to help get your heart rate up. As I have come to expect from Pretty Thing Press, their compilation is education and tantalizing at the same time...How can you read this many tempting stories without wanting to give it a go in your own bedroom?

From the April issue of Playgirl

Rachel Kramer Bussel is back with a compilation so filled with spanking smut, you may have to sit down. I know, I know, spanking can be such a specific fetish and not one everyone's into. But even if you don't dream of ass-uming the position, Naughty Spanking Stories is a good showcase of extremely talented erotic writers, each creating unique situations within the confines of a very specific theme. Sometimes you don't even see the spanking coming, it's woven so well into the story. Butt, if full-contact discipline is your thing, Bussel's Naughty Spanking Stories will leave you in good hands.

Blowfish likes us, they really like us!

If you haven't bought a copy yet, get Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z 2 from Blowfish.com today!

The first book in this series was such a rousing success that when the second volume came out, we simply pounced upon it. If you enjoy spanking -- giving them, receiving them, watching them, especially reading about them -- then chances are you're gonna love this book. Twenty-six stories, plus four bonus stories, all centered around spanking. While every story in this anthology isn't exactly BDSM, it's hard to get around that aspect of a good, old-fashioned spanking without indugling in a little power play. We especially liked the retelling of the Nutcracker with the prince teaching (an eighteen year-old) Clara a thing or two about discipline, but the stories run the gamut from formal mistresses to BDSM clubs to happy couples wacking away at one another's posteriors. All in all, a spanking good time! (2006, 268 pp.)

I'm very pleased to announce that Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z 2 is now available on Amazon! This book has 30 stories (all the letters of the alphabet plus 4 bonus ones) and is even hotter than the first volume. The must-read story is Stan Kent's "Solemate," which I've excerpted on my blog.

Also, my latest Village Voice column is called "Spanker's Delight" - I'm sure you can guess what it's about. You will also see a photo of sexy Katie Spades and one of my ass in my "spank me" panties.

Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z 2 is shipping very, very soon from Amazon.com! I realize it says "unavailable" now but it's on its way from the printers (I haven't even seen it yet) but should be in everyone's hands, mine and Amazon's, by the end of October. I can't wait for people to start reading it, and, especially, to mail off the copies to my 29 authors (there are 30 stories in the book, including one from me). Here's the Table of Contents, and I can assure you that if you liked the first one, you'll love the second. Pre-order it now and it'll be sent just as soon as Amazon gets them - I'll post here as well when it's really, really a book I'm holding in my hands - maybe I'll even get someone to spank me with it!

I have 3 new books out - not specifically about spanking though there is some spanking scattered throughout them, and they're all lots of fun and VERY hot! Also info below about July's In The Flesh Erotic Reading Series.

My 3 new hot new pansexual erotica anthologies come out July 1st! All are pansexual and really feature a wide variety of styles and fetishes.

After that I have some others lined up: Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z 2 (September, Pretty Things Press), Caught Looking: Erotic Tales of Voyeurs and Exhibitionists, co-edited with Alison Tyler (October, Cleis), and in Spring 2007, Sex and Candy: Sugar Erotica (Pretty Things Press), Second Skins and He's on Top: Erotic Stories of Male Dominance and Female Submission and She's on Top: Erotic Stories of Female Dominance and Male Submission, both from Cleis. After that, I really hope it's time to take things to the next level, after 13 books with small/independent publishers, but we shall see; we are also doing a sequel to Caught Looking, probably in 2008. This summer I'll be working on my erotic novel and finishing the proposal for Sexual Freedom for All.
