M. Van Arlen writes novel-length stories about queer, neurodivergent characters finding connection in unforgiving contexts.
All the Ways We Stay Alive is Arlen’s debut title, and follows Will Grant as he navigates his mother’s last days alongside a budding attraction to her hospice doctor. In the ruins of loss, Will has to decide if love is worth the pain and vulnerability of letting yourself be seen when everything you knew has fallen away.
