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
>Letters to Santa Christmas season, 1982
>That's the Spirit - January 1990
>Field of Death
- mid-February 1990
>A Day Without Vivian - April 1990
>Stories in the City - late May 1990
>A Hard Night's Day - Summer 1990
>Gilbert or Gabrielle? He Changed His Sex! - Fall(?) 1990
>The Election - September 1990
>Christine and Vivian Care for a Cat
- October 1990
>Teacher's Pet - November 1990
>Lorelei's First Date - March 1991
>Masquerade And Dance - May 1991
>A Squatching We Will Go - Late June 1991
>Two Secrets -Early July 1991
>A Tale of Two Orbs- December 2012

8. Rubber Band Ticket Master reviews
This has been called the stupidest thing I've ever written-it may well be the stupidest thing ANYONE has ever written. I wrote it in 11th grade with the expressed intention of writing a song about absolutely nothing. But to be honest, I actually put a lot of thought into the words. Anyway, check it out, and feel free to perform it yourself if you'd like!

An article from a December 2012 issue of "The Economist" from my fictional realm.
