Lover's Rock

Lover's Rock follows Gus, a guy trapped somewhere between memories from the 90s and the present, with a connection to a young Persian woman named Tina.

Tina drifts in and out of Gus's life, leaving him to wonder if they were ever meant to be more than close friends or if they just missed their moment. He navigates the blurred lines of love, longing, and what it means to let someone slip away.

Set to a score of The Clash (past) and Joe Strummer (present), the story captures Gus's reflections on missed opportunities, relationships that never quite took shape, and the emotional limbo that lingers in their wake. As Gus stumbles through life, he's left questioning the choices he made, the ones he didn't, and whether he's chasing a ghost or the future he could still have.

Lover's Rock is a story of unresolved love, the weight of what might have been, and the moments that define us, even long after they're gone.

Lovers Rock is part of a unique duology created in collaboration with Neda Aria, published by hypercats publishing, where two interconnected stories are told from the perspectives of Gus and Tina. Lover’s Rock delves into Gus’s experiences, capturing his coming-of-age and reflections on love, loss, and memory; while its companion novel, Counting Crows, focuses on Tina’s journey from 1990s Iran to the United States as she navigates cultural struggles, creative expression, and personal freedom.

Together, the books explore themes of identity, nostalgia, and the unspoken connection between two individuals shaped by their distinct yet intertwined paths. This collaboration allows for a richer exploration of shared experiences from two distinct voices, offering readers a multidimensional take on love, longing, and the passage of time.
