Ellis Ford has made a career out of controlling chaos. As a sharp-tongued, emotionally barricaded reality TV producer, he’s built walls higher than his Hollywood Hills ratings. But when the network forces him to cast his high school nemesis—the infuriatingly charming Jude Maddox—as the lead of the network’s newest dating show, Ellis's perfectly controlled world begins to crumble faster than a bad first impression.
Jude Maddox has spent a lifetime performing—on camera, for the public, and in private to keep his fractured heart in one piece. When he walks back into Ellis’s life, all old tensions ignite… and so does the unresolved, inconvenient, and very mutual attraction neither of them are prepared for.
As cameras roll and egos clash, what starts as a behind-the-scenes nightmare becomes an unscripted reckoning with past betrayal, lingering longing, and the terrifying idea that some love stories don’t get canceled after season one.
To Be Continued… is a sharp, slow-burn romantic comedy about second chances, production schedules, and the one that got away—then came back hotter and more complicated than ever.
Brandon 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.
