Erica was featured at The Walnut Creek Library Foundation Authors Gala on April 25, 2026. 

On Erica's recent visit to NYC, she was thrilled to see herself on a Times Square Billboard! When asked how it feels to be a best selling, critically aclaimed author, she said: "Pinch me!"

A growing number of US states and other nations are legalizing either voluntary euthanasia in which a physician (or designate) administers lethal drugs, or physician-assisted dying in which the drugs are given to the patient to self-administer. In this episode Erica Baccus talks about her husband's determination to end his life rather than die of Alzheimer's disease, and the journey they took to Switzerland to make it possible (US laws don't apply to dementia). His wishes were unquestionably honored. Check out Saul's interview with Erica here: https://pod.link/healer/episode/ZWUyMTc0ODktODZhOS00YTE5LThkOTMtNjI5YTA1NjQxNzNk
