J. Bango
Biography
#Chicklit for admirers of smart & #sexy satire, #romcom banter and #erotic word flavor. Life is hard―kick its ass. Love your fetish. #Collegehumor gone wild.
Author of new adult fiction and romantic comedies. Realistic plots for today's reader, laced in satire and sexy, adult humor. A self-improvement book and an illustrated children's short story book are also available.
My novels tend to bend towards a real-time and satirical view of the world with regards to all relationships˗˗friendships, lovers, family, education, career, all of it. There is no normal despite the fact that some spend a lifetime pursuing it. Normalcy is in the dysfunction of life. It's there; that the real fun and our most memorable times are created. Without loose threads, there is no laughter, no surprise, no reason to seek out anything or anyone. Simply put, I love characters who do what they want to do and make no excuses about it. They thrive and grow on experiences, which is exactly what the goal should be˗˗total freedom with no regret.
I am a voracious reader when I'm not writing. My interests vary quite a bit with what I read and I guess that's what keeps me constantly searching for new concepts and perceptions. Nothing wrong with the classics mind you. Discovery can be found everywhere and it's enjoyable to see the birthing of imagination in others as they put pen to paper.
It's also fair to say that I am very much a lover of the solitude and beauty that nature offers. Whether it be a lone sandy beach in the tropics, the gorgeous high country in Arizona or the ominous forests of upstate New York, I enjoy all of it. From time to time, I'll frequent a local brewery for a stout or two, but I certainly would never throw my nose up at a nice glass of red in the night time hours. Especially a rainy night with that perfect new book. Cheers!

Dorm Tramps
by J. Bango
Sadie and Jenna are roommates on campus who tend to take some aspects of their life a little too seriously. Being young and somewhat naive, does little to inhibit their confidence, however. That’s the positive side of naivete; one isn’t aware of any shortcomings. Verbal blunders, over-exaggeration and an excessively high perception of themselves isn’t something they attempt to hide from family or friends. In fact, you’d probably be looked at as crazed or inept if questioning them on such things.
This short romp takes you on a one-week ride, in the midst of a first year semester and is nothing short of being filled with quirky fun. If you long for the days of pool parties and late night sleep overs on the fly, welcome back. If you haven’t been there yet, here’s a taste maybe, of what to look forward to. In between studying, of course. Be forewarned: These two ladies and the eighth floor have a distinct and subjective way of interpreting the concept of study sessions.
