After the film, Xaviera will be answering questions from the audience as well as sign and dedicate her latest book, written with co-author Katje van Dijk, “The Happy Hooker's guide to SEX - 69 orgasmic ways to pleasure a woman” published by Sky Horse Publishing.  Xaviera will be making two more book signing appearances at the Passional Boutique on Thursday, June 26th at 7pm, and Delicious Boutique on Friday, June 27th at 7pm.  Xaviera did not invent sex: she was one of the leading spirits who brought it out of the closet. Her first book, The Happy Hooker, published in 1971, has sold more than 16 million copies and is still intriguing new readers by its humor, its zest for life and above all for its downright honesty.  Xaviera now lives in Amsterdam with her husband Philip, where she runs a bohemian style Bed and Breakfast and entertains her many international guests with her humorous sexy stories from the past.  She is always reinventing herself and for the last 10 years has been producing English Theatre productions in her house and recently in Marbella, Spain where she also resides part of the year.  Details about her life can be found on her website:  http://www.xavierahollander.com
