I freaking love and respect Rachel Kramer Bussel, erotica editrix supreme. I feel honored that my sodden, sinful tale of retro-rutting, “Old Faithful” will appear in RKB’s Cleis Press anthology “Orgasmic.” It’s an honor, grrrl!
A brief excerpt:
"I reclined on the couch and felt a hard object beneath me. It was a toy robot, abandoned by my nephew John the previous week, and I idly turned its key and watched it sputter across the floor, whirring and shaking wildly, eyes sparkling capriciously. There is something about contemplating the objects of childhood when you’re in a less-than-innocent mood; there is first a maudlin craving for the ease and purity of early days, a cheerful simplicity that leads to more wicked adult impulses with distressing ease. I picked up the toy, which continued to vibrate in my hand, stroking its round metal head as “The Happy Organ” shuddered through the radio in an anxious discharge of sound. I lay back on the couch, turning the key as I thrust my panties downwards, first leaving them stranded at my thighs, then casting them towards to the Hi-fi, nearly striking the jacket of a Chet Baker album. The jazzman stared back at me, fragile and melancholic, the sole witness to my upcoming act of subversion..."
The rest? Alas, feel free to pre-order or proudly bring it to the counter of your local Barnes and Noble this fall; startle the crap out of the poor dude at the cash register.
XO,

This cover is very elegantly designed. Sexy and erotic yet sophisticated. Must be hard to reach that balance.
