Hello dear friends,

If we haven't met, my name is Rayna Russell, and I'm a writer, editor, and (most importantly) a lover of fantastically written smut.

Each year, I collect short stories from my favorite writers and publish them in a volume for you to enjoy.

I've listened to your feedback and made a few changes. For example, I got some really enthusiastic emails from readers who appreciated the stories written by men, so I sought out some new male writers. This volume also includes more writers of color, and I think their steamy contributions really make this year's anthology special.

If you're listening to the audiobook, you'll notice that there are several voices suited to the individual stories. That really makes the experience richer for listeners.

As ever, I'm wildly appreciative that you're choosing to spend your time with me. I thank you, and I love you.

Your friend, Rayna
