“The women in The Erotica Book Club for Nice Ladies captivated me in this richly woven tale of mystery, erotica, and ancient herbs. The author skillfully wove together disparate elements into an intriguing story. Not only did I enjoy the book, but I was entertained by spicy quotes from famous works like Candide and The Decameron. This book has it all!” Elena Díaz Bjorkquist, author of Water from the Moon
