About this listen
What if Prince Charming was a predator?
Debut author Dee Ashby and her former husband Ty said their “I dos” on a sunny, Texas Hill Country afternoon in April 2015. Dee was head-over-heels in love with her tall, handsome, athletic G.I. Joe and could not wait to spend the rest of her life with this perfect-in-every-way man.
Less than six months into their fairytale marriage, Ty developed some debilitating medical conditions, the result of injuries sustained during combat missions abroad. The most devastating complication was full left-side paralysis, which confined the decorated Army warrant officer to a wheelchair, forcing him to medically retire from the military and go on Disability.
Having promised to love Ty in sickness and in health, Dee rose to the challenge of navigating life with a newly physically disabled husband. She educated herself on his various conditions, attended all of his doctors’ appointments, purchased a wheelchair-accommodating home, and continued to work a corporate job (for which she commuted two hours each way) to pay for their livelihood, all while helping to care for Ty and his three boys. Dee was so honor-bound that even on her darkest days, she never regretted falling for Prince Charming.
That is, until she accidentally discovered Ty was fabricating his paralysis. Her Captain America was a clever conman posing as an attentive husband, loving father, upstanding citizen, and honorable disabled veteran. LEFT-SIDE LIE is the unbelievable true story of a man who stopped at nothing to manufacture a handicap for sympathetic and financial gain, and the woman who stopped at nothing to expose the painful truth. A four-year federal fraud investigation later, Ty is facing the consequences and Dee is taking steps to educate would-be victims like her on the dangers of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Factitious Disorder, and ignoring red flags.

Meet Michael D. Blutrich, founder of Scores, the hottest strip club in New York history. A resourceful lawyer at one of the city's most respected firms, Blutrich fell into the skin trade almost by accident, but it was his legal savvy that made Scores the first club in Manhattan to feature lap dances and enabled him to neatly sidestep a law requiring dancers to wear pasties by instead covering their nipples with latex paint. Soon Scores was a home away from home for everyone from sports superstars and Oscar-winning actors to pop singers and political notables alike.
