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

message 1: by June

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?
