As a self-published author I survived the trial by fire to share tales and truths. The experience of writing, publishing and marketing - a huge undertaking - has connected me to people throughout the USA and internationally.

Like some characters in my novels, I too was born in Glasgow Scotland. In the mid-1950s along with my family I immigrated to San Francisco, California and made our home in a district named Eureka Valley, known now to many in one of San Francisco's most famous neighborhood as "The Castro."

My novels take place in a place and time that changed history of San Francisco worldwide in the 1960's. Writing about it was an incredible journey back to fond and, at times, difficult memories.

"The Timeless Counselor" was my first pub

“You learn best by reading a lot and writing a lot, and the most valuable lessons of all are the ones you teach yourself.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

June Ahern I treasure reviews by "real readers". When authors wants a review to place in their book they ask other authors or professional reviewers. I like actual book lovers' reviews. I have a great one from a Goodread reader right on the opening page of my website. I plan to include a review by a reader in my new to be released novel. Who's up for a PDF before release?
