You’ve come here wondering, “What is the meaning of life?” Er, I mean, Jason June’s life. Jason June is a genderqueer writer mermaid who loves to create picture books that mix the flamboyantly whacky with the slightly dark, and young adult contemporary rom-coms full of love and lust and hijinks.

When not writing, JJ zips about Austin, Texas. He loves dinosaurs, unicorns, Pomeranians, and anything magical that takes you to a different world or time. JJ is a tried and true Laura Dern stan, and he is actively looking for an Andalite friend.
​
​His debut picture book, WHOBERT WHOVER, OWL DETECTIVE, illustrated by Jess Pauwels, is out now from Margaret K. McElderry Books/Simon & Schuster! PORCUPINE CUPID, a queer-inclusive Valentine’s Day story, illustrated by Lori Richmond, is up next and due in December 2020. And get ready for JAY’S GAY AGENDA, Jason June’s debut YA, queer rom-com, coming June 1, 2021 from HarperTeen!
