The Madonna Model,: A Tale of Doubtful Provenance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781985312890)

TL Ashton writes books for smart sexy women. They know that smart is sexy because love lives in the brain, where we experience ultimate sex. These women have been to college and now face the paramount challenge of the work place. They want their vision and talent to be recognized because the self-respect that comes with success leads to genuine love that wants to realize our fullest potential. They learn that they matter, and because they do, they can overcome male fear of just who they are. Ashton started in New York City and expects to end there, but has lived in Los Angeles, Manilla, Djakarta, Paris, London, and for long stretches in the Turks and Caicos. After attending four other schools, Ashton was granted a degree by Columbia University and spent several years telling people how brilliant Keats and Shelley truly are. But Ashton found that Lotus Land lacked the challenge we need for growth, and took a publishing job in New York, which in turn led to an invitation from the CEO of a major Wall Street firm to head up strategic communications. That experience was captured in a superb debut novel, Ms. Money, which women in finance have enjoyed. Having invested in American art, Ashton left Wall Street to head up an art gallery, leading to the very recent publication of a second novel, The Madonna Model. Not chick lit or women's fiction, these are books about female empowerment. Ashton is currently reading the auction catalogue for the estate of Zsa Zsa Gabor, who was married nine times and insisted, "I want to choose the man. I do not permit men to choose me."
