Bette Taylor grew up in rural Oregon. Now 29 and a
lawyer in New York City, she thinks up dirty stories
during her lunch breaks. Buy her a drink sometime.

Michele Zipp has been called a “softly panting GOP sex
tigress” by some circles of the media, but she’s
really just an old fashioned girl who loves chocolate
and secrets. As the ex-editor-in-chief of a certain
dick mag, Michele is now freelancing and on certain
nights can be found dancing atop tables in bars in her
hometown of NYC looking for some bipartisan
inspiration. Her writings have appeared in Heat Wave,
Juicy Erotica, Best Bondage Erotica, Naughty Stories
From A To Z 3, and of course Naughty Spanking Stories
From A To Z I.
