WARNING: These stories are not about sex. 
They’re about arson, murder, bribery, corruption and greed.
Well, okay, and maybe a little bit of sex.

“A frank and fascinating look at the world’s oldest profession.”

Winnipeg Free Press

“This show will certainly satisfy anyone interested in the saucy side of history”

CBC

“Her engaging stories will keep you hooked.”
