I already have some of Rachel's books, I'll certainly be getting this one. I take two Word of the day newsletters, I love to learn words that I've never heard before: and of all the worms in the world, bookworms are my favourite, stands to reason as I also am one. :D I agree with Karl, such is the quality of your writing in this blog that a book of erotica written by you would delight me. :) As for Karl's question, I imagine that every spanker/spankee would have a different answer. Any photo's of yourself that you choose to post will be welcomed with much pleasure. ;) Love and warm hugs, Paul. Zille, lovely post, lovely interview.

I guess writers don't often get much input into cover design. Not that this one is so bad. It's just that it says "Spanked" and the model obviously hasn't been spanked. I'm guessing it would attract more attention on the bookstore shelf if the model was sporting a really red bottom. But the marketing tradeoff might be that such a blatent cover would result in less or less prominent display of the cover in bookstores. So who knows what would have been best. Anyway, an interesting question. So now that I know that you're listening, I can ask my real question. Having edited so many spanking story anthologies and being into spanking yourself, what's your take on the question of what it is that makes spanking so appealing, so erotic, so laden with meaning -- at least for a lot of us. Why do we find it so fascinating and why are we so attracted to it? Great to hear from you Rachel. I guess writers don’t often get much input into cover design. Not that this one is so bad.

Publishing doesn't work quite like that. Sometimes I get a choice of various covers - I recall there were 5 or 6 images being considered for Spanked. The image is credited to altrendo images. I'd guess they probably weren't Spanked - Cleis is, I believe, usually buying pre-existing images. I'm working on the sequel so hope to come up with a hot cover for that too. I just want attention-getting covers that will make people pick up my books. I think that's all any author can ask for, ro mabye that's just me. :) Karl – I have no idea!

Rachel, I have both volumes of your 'Naughty Spanking Stories From A to Z' and enjoyed them tremendously. I especially liked that you included the websites of the authors because I did want to investigate them further and you made it quite easy. Looking forward to reading your new one.

I notice the bottom of the model on the cover doesn't look like she has been spanked. Rachel, were you party to a marketing discussion that debated how spanked the cover model should appear to be? Were you there at the photo shoot? Was she spanked at all? I thought I'd start with questions that are easy to answer. If so, here’s my first question.
