"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

Are you ready to join The Mile High Club?
Rachel Kramer Bussel’s newest collection brings to life the popular fantasy of having sex on an airplane, from commercial jets to private planes. Couples and strangers alike manage to find ways to surreptitiously get each other off as they fly the friendly skies, spicing up their sex lives with a dash of exhibitionism, excitement, and danger. In these steamy stories, readers encounter seductions by strangers, naughty flight attendants and perverted pilots, a screen star who’s hot-to-trot, a female flying instructor who takes two male students under her wing, and a couple who take advantage of the latest in in-flight technology. Featuring works by Geneva King, Alison Tyler, Thomas S. Roche, Elizabeth Coldwell, Jeremy Edwards, and others, these authors go way beyond the crowded airplane bathroom to show just how many ways there are to get it on while onboard.
