In this episode we talk with June Gervais, an author who makes her home on Long Island and who, as we learned in talking with her after the episode, was familiar with Kites and Strings and had listened to a number of episodes prior to our having any contact. It also turns out before we were turned onto June, she was mentored by our S2 E22 guest and author, Alice Mattison, and after numerous pieces of her work being published in countless publications, June has recently released her debut novel, Jobs for Girls with Artistic Flair. Catherine and I both heap high praise on the book, but before we finished our respective reading, we sat down with June for this episode.
In short, this episode was a Joy! We had such a good time talking with June and learned so much about her avid reading as a child, her start as a writer and her process, and what was so fun in this episode were the exchanges and comparisons we had around writing and providing therapy.
Get a copy of her book and turn the pages, or listen on whatever platform you use, but rest assured you will love the story and the characters. Feel free to check out June's website and you will find many favorable reviews from a whole host of critics, and still more from fellow authors who recognize an excellent storyteller when they see one.
