Hello, curious readers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and that you\u2019re heading into the new year feeling inspired. I wanted to share a few updates on the site, my writing, and what\u2019s coming next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve updated the roadmap and site banner to better reflect the overall Curious Tales brand<\/strong>, not just June Day<\/em>. Think: weirder, more cohesive, and more fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve also updated my profile picture on X and plan to do the same on Facebook. BlueSky has kind of fallen off my radar for now, so I may leave that as-is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m happy to announce that Curious Tales of a Warped Reality \u2013 Volume 2<\/em><\/strong> is officially in post-production! \ud83c\udf89<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m waiting on a couple more beta readers to send in their feedback before making some light edits and preparing it for publication. I don\u2019t have an exact release date yet, but February is locked in<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now for the big question: What is Jason working on now?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The follow-up to my novella June Day<\/em> is already underway. The outline is complete, and I\u2019ve started drafting. You can expect this one around June or July next year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A story of obsession, power, and absolution. I don\u2019t want to give too much away just yet, but this will be darker and grittier<\/strong> than most of my work so far. While I\u2019ve written horror and thriller pieces before, this will be my first longer-format entry into the genre, and I\u2019m excited to take that swing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This one is a slow burn. Project Nautilus<\/em> is intended as agent bait<\/strong>, while still being a solid story rooted in my voice and style. I currently have about 6,000 words<\/strong> written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The plan is to complete the draft after June Day 2<\/em>, begin querying while I work on Gula<\/em>, and give agents 6\u20139 months<\/strong>. If it doesn\u2019t land, I\u2019ll move forward with self-publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s it for now. Hello, curious readers!
