BOOK CLUBS - WITCHES WELCOME

The Skye in June  has an overwhelming five star reviews from readers and author is seeking bookclubs to read and review the  novel. 

Please contact me here or through www.juneahern.com.

Two people within two hours recommended the book, "Lace Reader" to me today. They, having read my book, said my story and had the same flavor. They also know that I am a psychic reader and both books include that.  I researched it to find that like me, the author, Brunonia Barry, was a first time novel writer and self-published 2,000 copies. She went to local bookstores and asked for book clubs around the area.  Then she contacted the clubs to read it for feedback and reviews. Soon word spread and more, and more book clubs read it, and more and more and finally people in the book industry helped her get a publisher.  The rest is history as it is now a best seller.

Would you consider going to your local bookstore and ask for bookclubs in its area for me to contact? Thank you for your consideration. And, I do have a fab price deal for bookclubs! Plus I'm available to visit in many locations.

CHI-TOWN BOOK TOUR

The Skye in June  should've took the broom.

It was a dark and stormy night when I arrived in Chi-town (Chicago) to begin my book tour in Illinois.

  After a four-hour delay flight due to storms, I was elated to see my friend, Sheree, a Chicago transplant via San Francisco. The storm raged all night but in the morning, broke to a calm. The view from Sheree's high tower apartment of Lake Michigan was shrouded in a gray mist; perfect to hide in bed a few extra hours before first book event.

My first book party, hosted by my client, jeweler Lisa Cotten, would be just a 40-minute drive north of Chicago, we thought. We arrived one and a half hours later due to the usual Friday late afternoon crawl, hindered a bit more by a light misty rain, worsened by a long detour. 

                                                     

Still nothing could dampen the gaiety of about twenty-five women turned lose on a Friday night meeting to enjoy good wine, food and girlfriend company. What a riotous group of ladies. Laughter and voices rebounded in Lisa’s beautiful two-story house that she and her family had only moved into the month before. Lisa was so eager to share some of the more shocking parts of "Skye" with the guests.

Sheree was smooth, corralling the wild women into the living room for me to begin the book reading, sitting by the fireplace.

“Skye” quickly found many new homes and was a sell out with more on order, thanks to the great help from both Lisa, and Sheree.  

Guests, most interested in the psychic and metaphysical aspect of the story, had thought-provoking questions about such topics as how ESP works, how to develop it and karma. 

I demonstrated my main character June's, psychic abilities for Carri who is from a big Catholic family and purchased nine books as gifts. 

 

Why is Carrie smiling while I'm astonished at what I see? Is it twins for this mother of four?

Next day Sheree and I off for a train trip south to Normal/Bloomington, my next book event. (stay tuned for more on Illinois book tour.)

Vacation on the Vineyard - Martha's

Following a full moon in a red-eye special hubby & I arrived into Boston Airport on our way to Martha's Vineyard. We continued to the island on an eight-passenger, puddle-jumper plane (I would have preferred the safety of my broom.)
Goddesses' alert! You’re asked your weight in front of God and everybody. I blurted out a number, close enough where other passengers won’t accuse me of lying, but not too far away from truth so as to topple the plane downward into the deep ocean waters.

A gaggle of wild turkeys strolling along the street greeted us as we arrived at our sunny holiday home.  Life would prove to be slower and simpler on Martha’s. Tired, but eager to explore, off we drove and soon learned it's not easy to be lost on the island for long as all roads lead back to a familiar ground. We saw the island from one end to the other picking up fresh seafood along the way.

Martha’s has variations of Colonials homes, old and new, huge Mac Mansions and a most charming town, Oak Bluff boasts

myriads gingerbread houses. On my daily walk I found the local graveyards– being a medium I have to visit my spirit friends--and although most of the old headstones were almost impossible to read I did see that the dearly departed began to rest there as early as 1600's, Lots of Smiths lying around, making me wonder if it was an alias back then too.  After reading a mystery book by a local author, Cynthia Riggs - a 13-generation islander – I called her (she’s in the local phone book) to meet and exchange autographed books. She showed me around her historical family home, now a B&B catering to writers and poets. On a lovely sunny crisp day I ferried to Falmouth on the mainland to meet my friend, author Suzette Standring. We stopped by the picturesque New England town's bookstore with thoughts of me having a book event for The Skye in June when I return in March.

Our vacation ended with “the fast ferry” to New Bedford for a blowout fun filled party with some of hubby’s relatives.

His Uncle Ed and a cousin-in-law were New England fishermen as are many in this area and on Martha's. The statue on the island is a dedication to fishermen.

Once again I lied about my weight on the trip but since I’m home safely in San Francisco, the lie didn't count.

Many Eyes on my Wish

Witch conjures  ~ Wishing upon a Star - Eyeballing my Wish ! My  wish is to see my story The Skye in June on the screen as a film. Since the story first began to take shape in 1997, that's how it came to me - with face & voices & action. I thought, saw, heard, walked and felt it in every sense.  Recently I held a contest to "pick the star" (actors) for the film and asked many to vision with me to see "Skye" on the BIG SCREEN!  I wish for this vision to continue to grow to fulfillment. Seeing is believing. When we imagine, image, vision our wish, the whole self becomes acutely engaged. The mind adds even the smallest details, - my mind exploding with ideas - those ideas created a surge of emotions  - oh, that's good -  hmm, not sure about that - those feelings run energy through body resulting in a flood of happiness or a tightens up. We then decide to forge beyond the uncertainties or correct the details. Picture perfect we settle into the dream wish state.

I wish for many eyes on my wish. Come conjure with me.

Enthusiasm is the fuel that sparks the fires of the dream rocket. Beam me up Scotty!

I Belong to Glasgow/San Francisco

Where will this witch park her broom?

I am not a ABS,(American born Scot) I'm really a FOB ~ or FOA - off the airplane) legal alien. Born in Glasgow Scotland left in 1956 (been back several times) raised in San Francisco -  love the City but to those born native San Franciscans  I'm told  "Yeah sure, you're from here. Don't call yourself a native, gotta be born here."  As I gaze upon my lovely city by the bay, my heart flutters with it's beauty.

 

Alas, I've been told by Glaswegians, "Away wie ye, yer nay a real Scot, yankee." That's the relatives too. This photo is of my big sistah and me standing on Maule Drive in Glasgow's Partick district. We lived here in a kitchen & one room, pull-chain toilet, no bath before moving to a larger flat on Dumbarton Road. In '69 I visited my Granda on Maule Drive who then lived in it. 

Funny story -- in 2006 last time visited Glasgow, my husband, big sistah and I were walking down the main street, Dumbarton Road, (as featured in my novel) The Skye in June (not Joon) minding our own touristy business when we hear "JOON!!" We look at each other, alang the street runs a wee woman followed by a man - it's my cousin, Pat Burgoyne. She had an inkling that if they drove from Renfrew - outside of Glasgow - down Dumbarton, they'd see me - having heard we were in for a visit. A canny Scot, she is. True story. We Yanks have the sunglasses on.

 

" Perhaps like my father, I'm meant to roam around and the world can be home, where ever my broom is parked will be where I"m at in the moment.  Meanwhile, a place in my heart still belangs to Glasgow

King Richard Cadillac Back

You know animals talk to me? Not that I wish they did, at times like when this big draft at my horse ranch did. Can you imagine riding this big guy? Like sitting in a Cadillac, Jack or Jill. 

I'm already up to my eyeballs in caring for Luna, my rescue horse and then one day she drags me up the hill (she's pushy like that at times) to show me how lonely King is. Flirting with him, biting him and then ignoring him. He fell in love with her and my treats and rubs.

 Don't they get it at the ranch that horses are herd animals? Oie. Not only is this huge guy lonely but the coyote's yapping at night scares him. King scared?!?!? Like tromp, tromp little coyote. But he is. He LOVES massages and so badly wants out to jog. I did sneak him out and he bolted up the hill - stopping to neigh at the top and announce - look June let me out! When he realized I wasn't playing back he came to me. If you're around Pacifica CA, know about horses, want a most joyful companion, contact me to see if you can volunteer with King. He needs you.

Being with horses is powerfully healing to our senses. This big draft is a real puppy at heart and will be grateful for your gossip, complaints, keep your secrets and thrill your heart.

Blessed be and come on up to the ranch!
