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.

growing up really is like a civil war.
I Died and was Reincarnated into a World Without Electricity
Joan lived for rock and roll. Her world was the steady hum of guitar amps, the scent of vinyl records, and the warmth of her uncle's Boston music shop. She never asked for more-until the night a street race ended everything. One breath, and she was gone. The next? She's reborn as a baby in a strange, silent world with no electricity, no music, and no explanation. Now trapped in a forgotten time-where swords replace soundboards and melody only rings from bird's small throats-Joan clings to the fragments of her past life, scribbling lyrics in secret and searching for meaning in a life rewritten. But as the quiet stretches on and memories begin to fade, she must confront a chilling question: if music was her soul... who is she without it and what will she become?

To the Beat of My Heart
I'm dating a popstar. Pretty big, yeah. Too big, it turns out. I knew this life would bring its own drama. I just... Well, I guess I didn't think I would be the one to shatter everything. I guess I should go back a bit. Hi, my name's Fletcher. Er, sorry. I'm not so great at this. I'm pretty awful, actually. Uh, where was... Right. I'm twenty-two and I have-and I hope you won't think any differently of me-but I have Tourette's. See, it's this pretty irritating little thing that kind of defines so much about me. And also it doesn't. My actions define me, not some tics of a broken mind. It can get pretty bad, but I'm not alone. I've always had people at my back, otherwise, I think I'd have given up long ago. I consider myself a decent guy. I don't do drama, okay. But we're four guys. Four very different guys on a world tour and that's four beating hearts with their own reasons to beat a little slower. Or a little quicker. My boyfriend is Clay Hudson. You've probably heard of him. He had this familiar, yet killer story of overcoming pain and a nasty drug addiction. And then he became a popstar. I know, right. It's usually the other way around. But Clay's pretty backwards like that. And I love him despite all the scars, love him because I have always loved him. I don't think it's possible for us to lose each other. I hope. Clay hurt me once. I don't ever want to hurt him, but I've been thrust into a life I was never prepared for. Kai pisses me off every time he opens his mouth; Ansel drinks when the going gets rough, hiding God knows what secret, and maybe I think I'm hurting those closest to me with some secrets of my own. I am following in the footsteps of a legend, but I'm not leaving any footprints of my own. Music is everything to me now, but I am silenced by the soundwaves, and no one dances to the beat of my heart. So, will you? --The sequel to Finding the Pure Note--Complete
Cacophony
Sydney didn't have much, but that was fine with her. She didn't need much. Growing up on the Washington coast in a lonely beach town, working quietly behind the scenes was what she was good at. Living on the beach was much less glamorous than most people imagine. Her home was a beat up old Winnebago that she had shared with her father until he passed. Her father had been a detached parent. He loved his daughter of course, but he was by no means an affectionate man. She had grown up fending for herself, working backstage at a bar that hosted live bands using a fake ID. After the death of her father she saw an ad for a guitar technician for a local Seattle band. A love of rock and roll had been the one thing that her and her dad had in common. Selling everything that she didn't need she packed up her pickup truck and travelled north to the city, leaving the sleepy town in her rear view mirror. She didn't expect to embark on what would become the adventure of a lifetime. For someone who had hardly left the town she grew up in, the opportunity to get paid to travel the country and listen to great music was a dream come true. The band became her family, and life on the road was a perfect fit for her. Chris Cornell instantly became Sydney's best friend in the whole world. They were in love, that was plain as day to anyone who paid attention. Yet, sometimes love isn't as simple as it should be. Sometimes, love hurts.

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.
