Nathaniel is the stillness. Quiet. Overlooked. But he’s the one who holds everyone together. The one you breathe easier around.

Eli is the light. Kind. Steady. Gentle in a world that punishes softness. He never changed as I wrote him—he didn’t need to.

Samuel is the wound. They call him The Ice Queen—a name he wears like armor. He’s been preyed on too many times to let anyone close. Even his love hurts. #QueerLit #IndieBooks #BookThread #CharacterDriven #SoftButSharp #BlueskyBooks

💔 Real love shouldn’t leave. It sharpens itself against your edges and stays anyway. Let me tell you about Samuel, Eli, and Nathaniel—and why they matter.

Broken things are the only ones who really exist. So 'fixing' them doesn't work. If you try to erase the cracks or glue them together too tightly, you brush away all the sharpness that captured you in the first place. #traumahealing #books #reading #lgbtq #mmromance #healingjourney #booksky

👋 Hey Bluesky readers! 🌈 I'm October Arden, and I write emotionally raw LGBTQ+ romance for people who've felt unwanted or alone. My stories celebrate the messy, beautiful parts of love with chronically ill & neurodivergent characters.

📚 Still looking for ARC readers! I write emotionally raw queer romance with neurodivergent & chronically ill characters. If you love messy relationships, found family, and inclusive stories—this is for you! 💖

Hello Bluesky! I'm October, and I write emotionally raw queer stories about finding your people. Born and raised in Brooklyn, but always dreaming of quieter places by the water. When I'm not writing, I'm probably hoarding fountain pens or plotting my next story. What brings you here? 🌊✍️
