I'm a huge fan of genre erotica. When authors are confined to a specific "theme" it's always fun to see where their imaginations will take them. Spanking Erotica is some of my favorite. It can be vanilla or hardcore, lesbian or straight, male or female dominant, hands or whips. Anyway you write it, it's still hot.Rachel Kramer Bussel, former columnist for the Village Voice is looking for submissions for a new book of erotica all about spanking. If you've been yearning to get your pen moving, this would be a great venue.
