What inspiration guided this collection for you?
Rachel Kramer Bussel: Mostly my own experiences with spanking. I tried to make sure the stories lived up to the actual level of hotness spanking can provide for both the spanker and spankee. I wanted stories that would be accessible to those who’d never tried spanking as well as erotic for people who are already dedicated spankophiles. I think spanking is one of those activities lots of people have tried, or are curious about, and while this book isn’t a how-to, hopefully it can show the varying ways people respond to spanking, and that men and women can spank and get spanked, and it can be part of or a prelude to sex, or a satisfying act in and of itself. I wanted a book that would be the next best thing to actually receiving or giving a spanking, and I think I got that.
