October Arden writes emotionally raw queer stories that live somewhere between literary fiction and romance. Their stories feature fluid identities, found families, co-dependent devotion, emotionally complicated characters—often chronically ill, neurodivergent, and full of self-loathing—who stumble into intense, messy devotion and build families from the ashes. With a signature blend of intense emotion, sharp dialogue, and slow-burning trust, they craft relationships where even the most unwanted hearts find a home.
