About the author
Brandon Cloud
202 booksBrandon Cloud writes queer fiction that bruises with honesty, heals without permission, and refuses to look away. A retired RN with an MSN and MBA, he now channels a lifetime of trauma, dark humor, and hard-won love into emotionally raw, character-driven stories.
A survivor of conversion therapy, cancer, and one abusive relationship too many, Brandon doesn’t write to explain queerness—he writes to honor it. His characters are complex, flawed, tender, and real. They’re queer, yes—but that’s not the whole story. His mission is to create LGBTQ+ fiction where being gay isn’t the entire plot. It’s important to tell queer stories—all of them—not just the tragic, the sanitized, or the simplified.
His novels (The Unspoken Cord, Reverb in the Fog, The Bleeding Heart, and others) explore love, grief, identity, legacy, and the slow, brutal work of becoming whole.
When not writing, Brandon is managing hotels, walking his chaos goblin chihuahua Daisy, or deep in a narrative video game with a Diet Dr. Pepper in hand. He believes in chosen family, joyful defiance, and telling the truth—especially when it’s inconvenient.
