By Unity Blott For Mailonline. A former escort who once had men throwing 'huge sums of money' at her and jetted all around the world for free has turned her experiences into a series of books. New Yorker Lantana Bleu - who prefers not to reveal her real name - once had her lavish lifestyle funded by wealthy men and couldn't conceive the idea of settling down.
But now she has 'retired' from her lucrative career as a sex worker and turned her hand to writing, penning a three-part book series based on her wild past. Scroll down for video. Lantana Bleu, now in her late thirties, spent years as an escort to wealthy men who treated her to 'huge sums' of cash and flew her all around the world. She has now turned her experiences into a three-part book series. Former high class prostitute who goes by the name Lantana Bleu has revealed the secrets of her trade in a new series of novels based on her own exploits.
The trilogy - which is part-autobiographical, part-fictional - follows 'modern courtesan' Miss Melisse as she navigates the bizarre world of sex work. Lantana, who is now in her lates, says that she feels she was destined for the profession. Lantana worked her way through university in her early 20s as an office temp, but says she 'hated the corporate world'. After briefly working as a dancer, she decided it was time for a change in career. Lantana decided to 'retire' from her career as a high-class escort when she got married.
She started out working in a 'luxurious' brothel where, she said, 'I worked for a very nice lady and she taught me a lot. After the brothel was shut down, Lantana set herself up with her own apartment, advertised her services in local newspapers, and began her fledgling career as a high-class escort. I even hired a bodyguard. But she insists that despite her caution, she has 'never had a bad experience' and that she enjoyed every minute of her newfound career path, adding: 'I already loved it, so I was just getting paid to do what I love.
The high life: During her years as an escort, Lantana flew around the world and ate in expensive restaurants. And while some might balk at the idea of sleeping with men 50 years their senior - some of Lantana's clients were in their seventies - she insists it wasn't a turn-off for her. You're caring for someone, just like a masseuse or a doctor. During her years as an escort, Lantana travelled all around the world, from Barbados to Cape Cod.
