June Gillam writes the Hillary Broome crime novel series, inspired by her obsession with what makes ordinary people mad enough to kill. A native of the Central Valley, June lives cradled between California’s Coastal Range and the Sierra Nevada mountains. She loves the company of writers and readers and was honored with a Jack London Award for her service to the writing community. June’s work is published through her imprint, Gorilla Girl Ink.
June says –
“I began writing crime novels after developing an obsession to understand what makes ordinary people mad enough to kill. Each of my novels explores the shadow side of being human, what happens when an ordinary person has no legitimate power and feels crushed by life, a condition that continues to intrigue me.
I’m also a writing instructor, driven to discover the who, what, why, where and how of a story. For more than 25 years, I’ve edited poems, short stories, and essays for college-aged students. I love helping students understand what’s working and what needs fine-tuning in their writing.”
