FOR TONTZ

Synopsis
Aric Xavier Addison—hopeless romantic and novelist. Tahnee Marie Darling—his new passion, and a unique brand, at that. Collin Locke—the best friend: Tahnee’s, that is. This beautifully written novel depicts the times and trials of Aric as he meets Tahnee in very strange (to say in the least)circumstances, Collin as he deals with the formation of this young couples new relationship, and Tahnee as she battles with the decision whether or not she wants to be chased forever. For Tontz is split up into three categories: Aric, Collin, and Tahnee wherein the omni-present narrator of the novel focuses on the individual at similar points in time. Although each of the characters’ sections are written in third person narrative, the three spend most of their sections telling stories, each to a different person, depicting the experiences they’ve had with each other, and revealing their true intentions along the way.

Writing
For Tontz is an American teenage romance novel written by Aric Addsion (a pen name to real author Robert "pubes" Franklin ). Written in mid 2011 to 2012 Addison spent seven months writing the novel while the rest of his time was spent editing. Addison attributes much of his inspiration to Nicholas Sparks, Denyse Tontz for whom the novel is written, and the three main protagonists in the novel: Aric, Collin, and Tahnee. Drawing much influence from his surrounding circumstances, Addison adopted a method of writing frequently used by that of Stephanie Meyer in which he talks one on one to his characters, allowing them to tell him what has happened in their lives. For months he would speak only to this character, allowing no one to interrupt their time together. Addison would speak directly with the characters of For Tontz acting only as a catalyst, simply writing down what they'd told him was appropriate to put into the novel. This style of writing known as method writing (much like method acting) requires that the author of the novel detatch themselves from logic in order to fully understand what is trying to be said by the tellers of the story.

For Tontz has drawn attention not only for it's unique writing method, but for it's style as well. Told in third person perspective the characters of the novel tell accounts of what has happened to them, which is where the first person narrative style of writing takes over. The narrator (whom we later realize is Aric Addison) is actually talking about the book the reader is reading. Similar to the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton Aric reveals that this has been the novel all along.
