Life
Thomas Ays writes novels for gay adolescents and adults, but they are also strongly aimed at heterosexuals who are to be sensitized to certain problems of being gay.

His first novel Romeo and Julian was published in 2010 by Himmelstürmer Verlag in Hamburg , a publisher for gay literature. In September 2011, the second novel followed, The inner scream , which deals with homosexuality only marginally and at its core deals with depression . In 2017, he published a story about the women's line in his family, Their attempt to live .
In addition to his work as a freelance writer, Thomas Ays was also the owner and editor-in-chief of the web-based film critic database moviesection.de. The portal existed from 2001 to 2016 and contained over 6,000 film reviews. From 2002 to July 2020 he also ran the sister site booksection.de. More than 3,000 short book reviews have been published in the privately managed database. At the same time, he has been the head of the Tourism and Culture Office of the city of Bad Säckingen since January 2019.
