New Author, Otha Lee

Otha Lee –pin name for a new author whose stories will intrigue for raw force, and excitement has generated works notable for creative process and literary structure. Each novel compels by its validity expressed in image evoking language that pulls the reader into the scene. The works are published at lulu.com an online marketplace that quickly makes the writer’s product available.

This author will promptly find that curious readers have questions about source materiel. Celeena and several in her cast of playmates are familiar. A Gilbert's very-willing victim is someone known to us, who has been warned, to no avail, of the catastrophic changes that would take place in her life because of his presence there. The situations and circumstances in these novels are universally familiar.

Otha Lee chuckles when these points are made, and responds with an anecdote about Ray, reading from a manuscript, who stopped mid-page and looked earnestly at the author with a three word question. Fact or fiction? Uncertainty of the answer haunts the reader. Narrative and dialogue cross stream with situations and actions one recognizes or perceives with too much relevancy. Emotions will be engaged. You laugh-sometimes caught by surprise, shed a few tears, and grow angry along the way. The characters become your intimate acquaintances, a company of companions unlikely to be loaned away even to the most trusted of your friends.

Otha Lee is pleased with lulu, the company that made it possible for very nearly instant publication. “I have considered the question of publication for a few years. Suddenly I felt urgency about winding up. I made one last of many one last editing efforts, and there was lulu, surely there all the time, and my own re-discovery. But lulu now, available and beautiful. I’m published, proverbially published overnight.

The companion novels, CELEENA, Abraham’s Other Daughter, and CELEENA recount the path of a forty-something African American house wife thrown out of tandem by a shocking manner of self-discovery, into an orbit requiring survival mode adjustments.
