Ro's Reminiscing: Thxx's Story

by Lotta Bangs

Overview

My books are rather cerebral and require the reader to concentrate and be able to think about what they're reading. There are no thrills a minute, no desperate chase scenes or space battles as yet, though there will be a little one in the future, and no immediate gratification.

The heroine Ro has no great dashing adventures, but she ponders deeply about her Universe and its problems and after being let down by Beey, she takes charge of her life and accomplishes things in a way that's never been done before, finding solutions to problems she hadn't yet recognized as such and eventually founding Galen which offers hope and a new start for every race in the Universe.

This book details Ro's beginning. We see her motives and how her original plans were derailed and made into something far better and bigger by her finding Zeke. We also see Ro at death's door while her friends search desperately to locate her.

About the Author

I'm Aussie, way over 35, thankfully and very happily divorced, and have a wonderful daughter who very occasionally beta-reads for me. A few years ago we had 13 cats; we just lost another, so now only one of those remains. We have added 6 more over the years, including the sweet feral ragdoll which is my Facebook avatar. I generally prefer female cats, but have also had some magnificent males. I couldn't live without cats, just wish their lives were longer.

I'm having a lot of problems adjusting to social media which doesn't leave me enough time for writing and editing, so I won't be expanding my web presence any time soon. If you want to know about NEW RELEASES and SPECIALS you will need to FRIEND ME ON FACEBOOK. I have announced coupons to get a new release free here, but apparently nobody reads author biographies.

Of course my books are what you are really interested in. Originally, I wrote a long continuous story, starting at Reacquaintance, told from Ro's POV. Then when Ro disappeared for a year or so, I had to use Taj to fill in the gaps, and she proved so feisty and interesting, that I added in her back story, starting with Getting to Galen and continuing in The Deep End. After Thxx's Story, the various POVs continue in the same stream.

I had to break up my huge tomes into installments that could be published separately as I finished editing them. I'm afraid my writing was quite stuffy at first, with convoluted 12- to 15-line sentences, turgid half-page paragraphs, and a lot of pompous pontification and personal political opinion which the story didn't need. I had to rip out a lot before I could publish. I think the books are greatly improved now.

I was giving away my books for free for most of a year, hoping to develop a fan base quickly, but learned that people don't value what is free. Though over 20K copies have been downloaded, very few seem to have been read, and even fewer have been reviewed. I was unlucky to attract an ill-wisher who thought it amusing to devalue every one of my few 5-star reviews. Perhaps that put off others from reviewing. Certainly, without good reviews, few readers cared to buy my books, so if you have enjoyed them, I really would appreciate a short review.

With the next book, The Power of Art, I will be doubling all my prices, so they'll never be cheaper than they are now.

I believe that I am the only person writing Utopian books today, though mine are nothi...
