June Bourgo was born and
raised in Montreal, Quebec,
the youngest of four siblings.
She grew up a shy dreamer
who loved to write.
Her life journey 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, and working
at a remote gold mine with a
resident grizzly, on top of a
mountain in the Yukon.
June lives on Vancouver
Island, off the west coast of
Beautiful British Columbia with
her husband and their
grey tabby, Picasso. She married
her husband, Dennis in
1986. She writes copy for her
artist husband and her
publishing credits include
feature articles for a single-
parenting magazine.
Her writing inspiration comes
from the raw nature and
ocean surrounding her home, and the laid-back
lifestyle of Island life.
June Bourgo works full-time as
a novelist.
