Orgasmic: Erotica for Women by Rachel Kramer Bussel (Editor)
Cleis Press, August 2010; ISBN-10: 1573444022

Orgasmic springs from a delicious idea — a book of erotica that explores every possible type of orgasm. This highly original concept could only have come from the delightfully dirty (and brilliant) mind of Rachel Kramer Bussel. Oral sensations, digital delights, tricks with toys, and the old bump and grind are all featured, along with many more imaginative ways to bring a lover to climax.

By taking the reins, one woman finds pleasure on top; an experimental lover discovers ecstasy with a remote-controlled vibrator; body and soul merge in multiple orgasms through tantric sex. Orgasmic covers it all, from the familiar to the uncharted, opening up a Pandora’s Box of scenarios and techniques to bring readers to new heights of pleasure.

Please, Ma'am: Erotic Stories of Male Submission by Rachel Kramer Bussel (Editor)
Cleis Press, June 2010; ISBN-10: 1573443883

Men are the ones gifted with all sorts of power in our society, but a dirty little secret is that so many of them long to strip themselves of this power, to be tied down, gagged, spanked, taken, owned. They want to ease the burdens of manliness, if only for a little while, to be "ordered" to do all the naughty things they've dreamed of. Please, Ma'am shows some of the tantalizing possibilities out there for sniveling men and the women who love them.

Bestselling erotica editor Rachel Kramer Bussel has gathered together top voices in the genre, including Stephen Elliott, Alison Tyler, Dominic Santi, and many more. In Please, Ma'am, men willingly submit to the deliciously dominant women who entertain their deepest desires and give them the treatment they crave.

Letters to Penthouse XXXVII: Naughty Intentions & Dirty Deeds
Grand Central Publishing, April 2010; ISBN-10: 0446619450

Everybody knows older men love younger women. Youth has been the prize since the beginning of sex. But times have changed. Move over, guys. There's a new cougar in this jungle. She's the woman at the peak of her hotness, hungry to trade her years of experience for the enthusiasm and fresh good looks of a much younger hunk (or the occasional younger woman).

And they're all yours to enjoy, page after intoxicating page!

Please, Sir: Erotic Stories of Female Submission by Rachel Kramer Bussel (Editor)
Cleis Press, May 2010; ISBN-10: 1573443891

The fortunate women of Please, Sir are not docile pushovers by any means. They make the rules and negotiate with their masters — though sometimes they also get off on being pushed just a little too far by men they know they can trust. It's as if the doms who enter their lives see the potential for submission in these women and want to arouse them more than ever before by providing an opportunity for them to let go.

The editor of the bestsellers He's on Top and Yes, Sir, Rachel Kramer Bussel has chosen 22 stories that celebrate the thrill of submission by women who know exactly what they want. The characters in Please, Sir may be doing the bidding of their dominants, but the tops are just as much subject to the will of their subs, in their own way, by making them ache, moan, and quiver. With stories by Shanna Germain, Elizabeth Coldwell, Alison Tyler, and more.

Coming Together Presents Remittance Girl
Coming Together, February 2010; ISBN-10: 1450511902

An expat living in Vietnam, Remittance Girl  deftly captures the realities of life in Southeast Asia: the debilitating heat and humidity, the riotous energy and color and the loneliness of being an outsider. However, she's equally at home in gritty British suburbia or the beaches of the Costa del Sol.

Don’t expect light-hearted tales of playful sex from RG’s pen. Don’t expect romance—though sometimes it’s difficult to distinguish true love from satisfied desire. Be ready for tales with an edge, with a sting, and occasionally, with a moral. While many of RG’s stories are vividly realistic, some of her offerings are fables: unsanitized, old-fashioned fairy tales that retain a taste of terror.  RG’s writing strikes to the heart of the erotic. Her sex is strong and messy and real. She is not afraid to explore the darkest, rawest fantasies.  When she writes kink, it’s not fashionable sex games—it is inevitable, compelling, inescapable, cutting to the core of her characters.
