I’m teaching spanking erotica in the Poconos!

*** Oct. 10-12, 2008. SPANKING WEEKEND IN THE MOUNTAINS with Ms. Margaret and Friends. Near Allentown, PA. The weekend is for lovers of playful and discipline adult spanking. Lots of privacy and no one else is on the resort but us. For those who choose, classes at St. Margaret’s Academy will be back in session. It is not ‘school’in the role play sense. It’s more a way to meet. It is interacting and communicating before Saturday night. (If you choose the school colors are Maroon, White and Pink. (www.frenchtoast.com: burgundy plaid or gray skirt, white blouse and maroon accessories) Room, Board and two evening parties are part of the price. You don’t _have_ to do anything but bring a smile and good manners. www.MsMargaretDavis.com/weekend.html.

Spanked review at Blogcritics

Lisa Solod Warren, editor of the anthology Desire: Women Write About Wanting (which contains my lowjob-filled essay “Where Sluts Fear to Tread”) has written a great review of Spanked: Red-Cheeked Erotica at Blogcritics, comparing it to her fist erotica reading:

It’s interesting reading erotic short stories apart from, say, regular short fiction. Much short fiction has, of course, scenes of a sexual nature, but it is quite clear that the premise of these stories stems from the sex act itself. The story is secondary. And yet, in a number of the pieces, it works very well.

A few of the pieces in Spanked are actually quite literary, aside from their erotic nature. Thomas Christopher’s “Riding the Storm” is very beautifully and lyrically written and when I looked up his bio his credits were indeed impressive. M. David Hornbuckle’s “Still Life with Infidels #56, with its superb title just crying to be read, could have been any better-than-average adultery story, just with a, well, spanking twist. Simon Sheppard’s “Fiscal Discipline” could not have been any better timed: imagine a story about the financial markets, homosexuality, and spanking! Plus, it was clever and funny. And I loved Bussel’s story about fear and pain that went far beyond the subject matter of the book. Donna George Storey’s “A Rare Find” and Shanna Germain’s “Perfect Bound” both revolved around books, in odd and wonderful ways. Teresa Noelle Roberts’ “Daddy’s Girl” creeped me out, but in a good way. She set up a premise that she then undid, and she did it quite well

Great review at Clean Sheets

Spanked got a great review by Julian Robinson at Cleansheets:

Editrix extraordinaire Rachel Kramer Bussell has rounded up twenty brisk and stinging tales that reveal the many sides of spanking, from playful erotic accent to punishing payback for a long ago wrong. Smoothly blended technique tips and how-to hints are a bonus for those looking to enhance their spanking life. Rick Roberts’ lead-off “Spanking You” boldly wanders from the buttocks to belabor the thighs, breasts, and pussy of his eager subject. Alison Tyler’s “Betty Crocker Gone Bad” begins with one of the sexiest garments of all: an apron worn by a woman wearing nothing else, and proceeds through creatively perverse applications of common cooking tools. (Do you know anyone whose kitchen walls display multiple wooden breadboards with hefty handles and whose utensil bins contain an excess number of large wooden spoons? Do they color uncontrollably at the word “spatula”? Ah hah! You’ve found a spanko.) There’s an old-time spanking game in Donna George Storey’s “A Rare Find,” in which coin flips determine who gets it, whether bare, with what, and how hard…

Aforesaid by-the-book chastisement occurs in the volume’s most elegantly literary offering, Shanna Germain’s “Perfect Bound.” A model of Victorian propriety, her erotic bookstore owner dresses like Harriet Marwood and offers a work-for-spanks program to trembling young men who dream of her firm hand raining down upon their virgin nether cheeks: “I can tell by the way they move their eyes toward me, then away, like I’m just another book on the shelf. I’ve seen boys look at porn with the same denial of fervor.” Germain’s droll, witty style harmonizes perfectly with her heroine, who has an unusual fetish for typewriter ribbon (please Google it if this is an unfamiliar term).

“Through a Glass, Sharply” by Elizabeth Coldwell employs equally elegant terse British understatement to an account of a spanking husband and wife who confound stereotypes: she’s a petite femme disciplinarian and he’s her macho testosterone-loaded bad boy. “I know it won’t be too long before he gives me another excuse to have him like this, his bottom rosy and tender from the impact of my slaps.”

Spanked interview – on a scooter!

Jincey Lumpkin of DigiRomp interviewed me on her sexy scooter on the Lower East Side about Spanked:

Again, my apologies, WordPress seems to HATE putting up any of the videos I put the code in for. You can watch it right here on my Tumblr.

Spanked on a scooter

Okay, I only wish I’d gotten spanked on a scooter, but there’s always next time. I think ‘d be nervous to ride it but it was so sexy and purple and yummy. I did straddle the scooter and talk about spanking with Jincey Lumpkin and you’ll be able to watch it on September 3rd as part of the Spanked virtual book tour – just visit queer girl social networking site DigiRomp that day to check it out!

Spanking audio erotica

I’m very excited because over at Nobolis Erotica, you can listen to Danielle A. Nelson of Braindouche Studios read my Spanked story “The Depths of Despair.” I’ve been wanting to podcast my stories for a while, and even bought a voice recorder but…I’m slow. Maybe in 2009! For now, listen to that one.

Ellie Lumpesse’s ass – oh, and an interview too!

The Spanked virtual book tour is going really well – do keep checking it out. You get things like this photo below, of Ellie Lumpesse‘s ass – oh, and she interviewed me about Spanked plus is offering you the chance to win a copy!

Get spanked (and read to) by me tonight at TES!

The Spanking Group at TES, where I’ve spoken before, is fabulous. And tonight, I’ll be there reading from Spanked and…spanking people! I will even bring my new paddle I got at Dark Odyssey (well, I got two, but one is MIA). Please join us – I’ll also be reading from Spanked and selling copies! I was looking for a photo of me spanking someone, and sadly, I don’t have any! Will have to rectify that on Saturday. 🙂

Join us for an evening of spanking fun as author & Penthouse Variations editor Rachel Kramer Bussel will both spank & read excerpts of her new book ‘Spanked: Red-Cheeked Erotica’. Rachael is both a fine spanker as well as writer and it’s sure to be a great evening. Cupcakes may even be served.

Best. Review. Ever.

Maui Dude on Amazon had this to say about “>Spanked: Red-Cheeked Erotica:

My favorite lead paragraph was provided by Madeline Glass in “Laser Tag”:

“The first time he spanked me, I thought he was a pervert. The second time he did it, I wondered if I was. By the third time, I was certain that we both were.”

Readers of this book might undergo a similar progression:

“After the first story, I thought Rachel was a pervert. Reading the second story, I wondered if I was. By the third story, I was certain that we both were.”

Incidentally, I was a little concerned that this book would “only” be about spanking. But rest assured, there are many other forms of sensuality and eroticism displayed in the stories (all of which are enhanced by spanking), and there are orgasms
