June lives in Hartley, Kent. She owns a boarding Cattery which she runs with the help of her husband. Her pastimes include gardening, bridge and line dancing as well as looking after her two rescue dogs.

Until joining Elaine's creative writing classes June had never written anything more than a quarterly news letter for the Horticultural Society of which she was the secretary. With Elaine's help and encouragement she has had a good measure of success. 

She has had two short stories in The Weekly News, a story published in The People's Friend and articles in the Guardian and Your Cat. Several of her tips and fillers have also been published. She has twice been highly commended in competitions and placed second in a David St John Thomas competition called Misguided Dialogue. Last year June wrote a series of articles on Catteries for a well known web site.
