Tony Nova was always an enigma, at least to me.
This dude was my best friend, bandmate, and brother for so long. We've been through it all together. Relationships, drugs, alcohol. Fame and fortune, barely living paycheck to paycheck.
Always trying to find a home where we never belonged. A home where we could live together and be who we truly wanted to be.
We had everything, but we didn't really want everything.
This is Happy Thomas.

Beneath The Veil
What happens when two boys raised in the same household fall in love-but aren't allowed to show it? Matvey and Nova had always lived in the same house, surrounded by family, tradition, and expectations. To the outside world, they're just like brothers. But inside the silence, the tension between them grows-shared glances that linger too long, quiet moments that mean more than they should. Nova is older. Responsible. Married. Trapped in an arranged marriage with a woman who constantly cheats on him, Nova plays the part of the perfect husband. But behind closed doors, he's falling apart... and the only person who truly sees him is Matvey. They've known each other their whole lives. They've laughed, cried, and grown up side by side. But now, something unspoken is building between them-something that could ruin everything. Will they risk it all to be together? Or will love be just another thing they're forced to bury? A slow-burn, forbidden romance about loyalty, longing, and the boy you were never supposed to fall for.

F***in' Arizona
How bad could it be to enlist your female best friend into helping you lie to your Christian family about your new relationship with your male best friend and about your newfound sexuality? Not that bad, right? Right??? --------- Nova Queen and Arizona "Ari" Matthews weren't always close in high school, but after an intense and serious conversation in the library one day, the two become the best of friends until they go their separate ways their freshman year of college. Now in their mid 20s and freshly out of grad school, they are reunited in the park of their hometown where Ari asks a huge favor of Nova that she later wishes she had refused. But in the end, will she really wish she had refused? *FA spans a timeline from 2010-2020 to help the reader see how the relationships were built between characters in a partial series of flashbacks. It also helps the reader to really see into the minds of Arizona and Nova as they age, and the effect different life events have on them. It's a bit of a slower build and the plot is mostly seen a little later in the book, but I promise it's worth it. 🙂 *I do not own any of the rights to the music nor the pictures. *Rated M for language, sexual content, destructive behaviors, suicide, and dialogue that may be triggering for some readers. *These characters may do or say things that you don't agree or may get upset with, please remember YOU ARE NOT THESE PEOPLE, and their lives are a work of fiction and my imagination.
