Rebelling against a Goody Two-shoes upbringing, June Gillam explores the darkness of this journey we call life. Her first poetry collection, SO SWEET AGAINST YOUR TEETH, is in print under the name June Comarsh Gillam. After she realized many of her poems wanted to be stories, she began writing short fiction and is published in outlets such as METAL SCRATCHES and AMERICA'S INTERCULTURAL MAGAZINE. She is now working on a series of thrillers featuring Hillary Broome, a redheaded reporter in her mid-thirties who writes for a Central California paper and serves as the journalism advisor at a local community college. June Gillam welcomes visits to www.junegillam.com and replies to contacts from the site.
