Mystery Lovers Corner

June Shaw lives and plays along a lazy bayou in south Louisiana. After she became a young widow with five children, she enrolled in college, earned a B.A. in English Education, and started teaching. Some time during the next twenty years while she taught young teens and raised her own, a deferred dream took hold. She wanted to become a writer.

In-between grading papers and being involved in all of her growing children's activities, she sold stories to periodicals and studied playwriting. A one-act play she penned won a contest in Boston, and two of her one-acts were produced Off-Off Broadway. June's short screenplay Attacked aired in New Orleans. Eventually she tried her hand at writing novels. She reached her Second Adulthood and then sold RELATIVE DANGER, her first book in print. The novel's protagonist, oddly enough, has also reached her Second Adulthood. And—they both love boiled crayfish!
