Interview with June Stevens

Published 2014-01-15.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
Love. Three years ago I married the love of my life, my true soul-mate. My husband is the reason I do anything I do. He and our strange little family of furbabies is what keeps me going and keeps me sane...when they aren't driving me crazy. Romance, no matter what the sub-genre, has always been the forefront of what I read and write. I've always been a hopeless romantic that believed true love could exist, even when I didn't think it was for me. So, that is it... my driving inspiration is love... and luckily I am surrounded by it every day with my crazy little family, my even crazier friends, and even in my insane job!
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Cleaning house, cooking dinner, chasing my humongous dog around the house to take my socks out of his mouth. You know... normal people stuff. I'm also an avid reader and book blogger. As a hobby, and small side business, I design and create handmade jewelry and hand painted signs. I also spend as much time as I can snuggling on the sofa with my husband and puppies (the cats don't like to snuggle) and watching movies on Netflix.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
I was four years old the first time I sat down with my Mom read my favorite story book to her, by myself, and got each and every word correct. That book was a "Little Golden Book" version of Cinderella. How has that had an impact on me? Well... I write romance novels...
