Why I’m Excited for Jason’s Return — At Least Right Now

*waves frantically* This might be one of the most exciting and hotly anticipated days for Liason fans since October 2017 when our couple had that amazing reunion at the PCPD lockup. If you’re a regular viewer of the show, you know Jason’s last return was not well-received due to TERRIBLE writing, but everyone mostly agrees that the only relationship that wasn’t torched was with Elizabeth and Jake. In fact, Jason and Elizabeth were sharing scenes together in July, and he was planning to hide another dead body for her.

Plus!!! Jason’s return is being penned ENTIRELY by our new head writers, Patrick Mulcahey and Elizabeth Korte. I know Korte is known as a Carly fan, but she also used to be known as an amazing Elizabeth writer — along with Michelle Val Jean, Korte CREATED Liason — it was her idea to put them together. And Patrick was a writer back in the late 90s — he penned several of our favorite early Liason scenes like the park after they met at Jake’s and the lucky quarter episode.

AAAND there’s a spoiler that an old face from the past shows up on Liz’s doorstep — we know from spoiler pictures that Jason is going to be in a gun fight — is it SO far-fetched to speculate that just maybe our HW are mining Liason history?

Now of course, my excitement could fade, but I loved this couple for half my life, so there’s no reason not to get a little excited right now 😛 PLUS YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW THE BEST PART — Liason fans have planned a HUGE surprise for Steve’s first air date. Stay tuned on Twitter around 9 AM today (March 4) and follow our anniversary tag #25YearsOfLiason! I’ll post more info on Wednesday when I do Flash Fiction.

Taylor Swift Short Story Collections

Yesterday, I did a surprise “album” drop, posting a collection 17 short stories, each one inspired by a Taylor Swift song from folklore, the album she surprised us in July 2020. If you missed it, I’ve linked it above.

I plan to write a collection for each one of her albums, but I probably won’t do an entire collection at a time — this was special because I was launching the series and because of Steve’s return. I’m not really sure how to approach the other 9 albums (soon to be 10). Doing one album at a time, doing whatever song inspires me, etc. I’ll play it by ear for now, but it was a lot of fun and kind of crazy to be keeping this a secret from all by the top tier Patreons for the last two weeks. If you have any idea for any songs, please feel free to let me know!!

Fool Me Twice & These Small Hours

AND FINALLY, we get to the reason I’m posting today! I took a bit of a break from other projects to get this done, so I’m going back to finishing my posting draft edit (all of March’s chapters are good to go) for Fool Me Twice Book 2 and the alpha draft for These Small Hours. I hope you think the break was worth it 😛

I’m beyond excited to be launching Book 2 on the day Steve returns, and a little sad I won’t get to see the Jason/Drew relationship I wrote in Book 2 (and 3!). Billy’s loss is profound, and the Drew recast is awful. But I’m glad our Drew lives on in stories and in our memories.

Chapters will be posted on Mondays and Fridays. Sometimes 2, sometimes 1. It just depends on the chapter I’m posting that week and where I want to leave you for cliffhangers 😛
