June Bourgo was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and is the youngest of four siblings. She grew up a shy dreamer who loved to write.
Her life journey so far has taken her down many different paths from commuting by ferry to work with a communications firm to living in a houseboat in Victoria Harbour, BC, managing a physiotherapy clinic, working in a municipal Government, and working at a remote gold mine with a resident grizzly and red fox on top of a mountain in the Yukon.
The author lives on Vancouver Island, off the west coast of beautiful British Columbia with her artist husband. She writes copy for her husband and her publishing credits include feature articles for a single-parenting magazine, six novels, one book of shortstories, a short story published in an anthology, and one non-fiction collaboration with her husband, Dennis Bourgo
Her writing inspiration comes from the raw nature, the ocean surrounding her home, and the laid-back lifestyle of Island life. She now works full-time as a novelist.
When not writing, June loves to hike the natural parks on the Island and explore the beaches. She also loves cats, reading, and dark chocolate, and she only writes while listening to Jazz to inspire and free her creativity.
