ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jason Schubert grew up in Pecatonica, Illinois, two hours west of Chicago, and has long been fascinated by the stories people carry—both spoken and unspoken. He earned a bachelor’s degree in human resource management with a minor in psychology from Northern Illinois University. Much of his career has been dedicated to leadership and talent development around the world.
Jason has worked with national and international organizations, using his expertise and certifications to help individuals and teams grow both personally and professionally. His primary focus is on the individual, as a person, not just as an employee. He has designed, led, and facilitated leadership programs and workshops for global audiences and continues this work through his consulting business.
Alongside his career, Jason has nurtured a lifelong passion for writing. In 2025, he published his debut novel, Seasons of Intimacy, a slow-burn love story exploring connection, patience, and emotional truth.
Secrets of Intimacy continues that journey, blending continued growth with a touch of adventure and the quiet moments that shape relationships.

Seasons of Intimacy
Some stories don’t begin with grand gestures—just quiet moments, softly shared.
When a chance encounter brings two strangers together, neither expects more than a night of awkward conversation. But as the seasons pass, what begins as an unlikely connection deepens into something quietly undeniable—a bond built not on promises, but on presence.
Told with poetic intimacy and emotional honesty, Seasons of Intimacy is a slow-burn love story about timing, trust, and the kind of vulnerability that allows real closeness to grow between guarded hearts.
For readers who believe in second chances. In love that doesn’t rush but waits. In being truly seen—and loved anyway.

The story continues…
Some stories never end—they just wait quietly to be rediscovered.
Three years after a chance encounter first brought them together, they return to the cabin where their journey began.

Adventure, passion, and subtle intrigue mix with tender, everyday moments—reminding us that love endures not by force, but by patience and intention.

Insights
-
These stories are fictional—but like many, they’re woven with emotions, feelings, reflections, and experiences drawn from life. Several of the poems were written at different points in my life, lightly adapted to fit the stories.
As for the more intimate moments—those come straight from imagination—bummer, I know, but I’m sticking to that!
-
In Seasons of Intimacy, the story unfolds through four seasons (not twelve months), each reflecting a stage I believe is essential for love: physical attraction, friendship, emotional chemistry, and finally trust and patience.
Secrets of Intimacy is still divided into seasons, though less formally, serving as a timeline and quiet metaphor for timing, growth, and the moments that shape relationships.
-
No—not really—which is intentional. I wanted readers to step into the story themselves, without being distracted by names or appearances.
Your version of the characters may differ from mine—and that’s part of the beauty.
-
In one sense, each story took a lifetime because of the experiences woven in. In another, the writing itself came together relatively quickly—less than two months each. What took longer was the behind-the-scenes work: revisions, editing, artwork, formatting, etc. Who knew fonts, spacing and margins could cause so much inner turmoil? Every step taught me something new, and I’m grateful for it all.
-
In short, yes. Seasons of Intimacy includes several poems woven into the story, while Secrets of Intimacy also features poetic writings discovered or reflected upon, adding layers to the characters’ journey.
-
Everyone… spread the word!
I know these stories are not for everyone, but I believe anyone who believes (or wants to believe) in true connection—physical, emotional, spiritual—second chances and the struggle of patience that lasting love often requires. Seasons of Intimacy is a soft, vulnerable journey of discovery, while Secrets of Intimacy picks up the speed of adventure while focusing on sustaining love and discovering answers.
If you appreciate stories that are heartfelt, realistic, and sometimes surprising, one or both may speak to you.
-
I hope so—I’m a man and I wrote them!
Beyond that, I’ve received great feedback from male readers who found the emotional themes, growth, humor, and relationship dynamics resonant. While these stories explore vulnerability and intimacy, they’re written with universal themes in mind: connection, trust, and growth—from all perspectives. I hope it resonates with readers of all backgrounds—but ultimately, that’s for each reader to decide.
Let me know what you think!
-
While Secrets of Intimacy continues the journey from Seasons of Intimacy, each story can stand alone. Reading them in order gives the best experience, but I’ve included enough context so readers won’t be lost—hopefully, even if they start with Secrets. If not, please go back and read the first one (wink, wink—nudge, nudge).
-
These stories explore love and romance, including intimate moments, but they are not explicit erotica.
While a few scenes are intended for mature readers, the heat focuses on connection, emotional vulnerability, and desire—enough to spark the imagination without going over the top. Readers who enjoy slow-burn love stories with a touch of spice will hopefully feel right at home.
-
Secrets of Intimacy continues the journey begun in Seasons of Intimacy, exploring how relationships evolve and deepen. Beyond that, I have ideas for where the journey might go next, but it all depends on inspiration and reader curiosity.
After all, love stories rarely end; they just keep unfolding. (Unless Netflix calls—then things may move a bit faster.)
-
I have a few projects in the works which may not be similar, I welcome inspiration whenever it arrives. I try to never force creative writing, but I always welcome the desire to explore new ideas or stories—including the heartfelt and intimate moments (way more fun to write than proofread—seriously, Jason. Awkward).

By reading, sharing, and showing up—which you already have by being here. Thank you!
If the stories moved you, I’d be honored if you left a review on Amazon or Goodreads and recommended them to someone who might connect with them. I have learned that every bit of support makes a huge difference to independent authors… more than I ever imagined.
Truly, every reader matters.
