<p>Xaviera Hollander's first book, <em>The Happy Hooker,</em> was published in 1972; since then it has been translated into fifteen languages and sold millions of copies around the world. Hollander began writing the column <em>Call Me Madam</em> in <em>Penthouse</em> that same year -- a role she fulfills to this day -- and has been named the magazine's most popular columnist. Now a promoter of the arts in her native Holland and the author of more than a dozen books, she divides her time between Spain and Amsterdam.</p>
