"Brainy beauties like Rachel Kramer Bussel don't come along every day, especially ones who have their own Village Voice column, a fabulous and constantly updated blog, dozens of short erotic stories in a variety of delightfully dirty books (not to mention an editorship of a book dedicated to erotic spanking), and a cupcake fetish. It's amazing she found the time to strip down and show off that fabulously natural and curvy bod of hers, but let's just say, I'm really glad she did." Fleshbot (by Violet Blue)
"Rachel Kramer Bussel has created her own type of erotica. An
earthy-true-to-life style that draws her readers in and keeps then
focused until the very last word.
She can take a fantasy and make the world seem real or take a real
event and paint the scene softly, to appear more like a fantasy. I am
in awe of her tremendous output, in the positive way she includes all
genres in her collections, and in her constant desire to bring erotica
and sex in general to the mainstream."
– Alison Tyler, erotic author and editor

Dirty Girls: Erotica
for Women is out now!
Tango magazine just interviewed me about Dirty Girls.
Watch the interview here:
And Petula Caeser gave Dirty Girls a rave review in Baltimore City Paper, saying:
"The works she selected are as diverse, distinctive, and sexy as the 25 female authors themselves...Bussel has done some of her best editorial work with Dirty Girls: Erotica for Women. Each and every one of the book's 394 pages shows she knows what girls like--and you're fortunate that she does. "
