Author has written 27 stories for War, Song, Sci-Fi, Young Adult, General, Spiritual, Love, Romance, Humor, Essay, Politics, and Life. Welcome to my profile! My name is Tristan Lotz, and this is where I publish my written works. Most of them are set in the same continuity--although at different point in time--a continuity I call "As The Orb Turns", because I typically set my stories in a fictional country called the Orbin Federation (more about that can be read here: http://micronations.wikia.com/wiki/Orbin_Federation). My main characters are "Chrome" Bumper, Susie Platzner, Rusty Crantz, Gilbert Stern, Vivian Clemmons, Christine Peck, Clarence Roland, and Lorelei Finch. Here is a basic timeline for when my "As The Orb Turns" stories take place: >New Friends - Early fall, 1981 | |||||||
