A short bio on
this character:
June Heal is a
homeopathic curest who discovers she has magical powers when she relocates her
flea market homeopathic cure shop, A Charming Cure, to the magical town of
Whispering Falls, Kentucky.
1.How did you
first meet your writer? There was a vacancy in her head, so I just sort of
moved on in. She told me that she didn’t like witches. . .
2.Want to dish
about him/her? I concoct my best homeopathic cures in the middle of the night,
my cauldron seems to work best during those hours, and Tonya is always awake
with this little notebook in her hand. She never sleeps! I bet if she would
give up one of her three pots of coffee she drinks a day, she might get a
little shut eye. I left a message with the Sand Man to drop Tonya visit.
3. Did
you ever think that your life would end up being in a book? Never! I’m just a
small town Kentucky girl.
4. Tell
us about your favorite scene in the book. Tonya continues to write about my
life, so in the third novel, A CHARMING WISH, she started with my story when I
found out that I had a genie bottle in my shop. . .with a genie living in it!
5. Did
you have a hard time convincing your author to write any particular scenes for
you? Yes! Tonya always wants to write my story her way or the way she thinks I
should live my life, but I keep telling her NO! It’s my life and I can live it
how I want to. Sometimes she does have some good ideas with new potions.
6. What
do you like to do when you are not being actively read somewhere? I love
spending time with my fairy-god cat, Mr. Prince Charming and my boyfriend,
Oscar Park. Hanging out with my friends that live in Whispering Falls is a lot
of fun too.
8. Tell the
truth. What do you think of your fellow characters? I absolutely adore them!
Each of them have a special magical talent that is disguised by their store
front. I love how they interact with their clients. Shandra owns A Cleansing
Spirit Spa. Her clients think they are getting a manicure, but Shandra is
really reading their palm. All of Whispering Falls is like that!
11. What impression do you make on people when they first meet you? How about after they've known you for a while? I hope they walk away feeling much better than when they first met me. Most of the people I meet want to purchase one of my homeopathic cures for a something like heartburn, but I add an extra ingredient once my intuition
12. What's the worst thing that's happened in your life? What did you learn from it? I lost both of my parents at a young age. It has been a hard long road learning all the ropes of life without their guidance. I’ve learned to trust my intuition. It hasn’t failed me yet!
13. Tell us about your best friend. I have three! Mr. Prince Charming is my fairy-god cat who showed up on my door step with a turtle charm hanging on his collar on my tenth birthday. I’ve always wanted a charm bracelet! I knew we were going to be fast friends. He has never left my side and I’m twenty-five.

Madame
Torres is my snarky crystal ball. Even though she is a pain in the rear
sometimes and we argue, she always has my best interest at heart.
Last
but certainly not least, Oscar Park is my childhood best friend turned
boyfriend. He is strong, caring, and looks out for my best interest. I hope our
friendship and love can stand the test of time with
14. How do you feel about your life right now? What, if anything, would you like to change? There are a lot of changes that only Tonya and I know about. I’m not sure if those changes are good or bad. I guess we will have to wait and see.

15. What aspect of your author’s writing style
do you like best? I love how she adds humor to my life of chaos. I don’t think
my life is funny, but she writes it in a way that makes readers laugh out loud.
16. If your story were a movie, who would play
you? I adore Mandy Moore. I think she would make a great me!
17.Describe the town where you live. MAGICAL!
Whispering Falls is settled in the foothills of Kentucky, surrounded by
beautiful mountainous limestone and Kentucky bluegrass. The town is filled with
quaint shops. Each shop has a gorgeous ornamental gate that leads you into
magical store with special powers. When a tourist comes to our small town, they
can’t wait to come back.
18. Describe an average day in your life. I have
to have my coffee first thing in the morning. Then Mr. Prince Charming and I go
to my shop, A Charming Cure, and start working on new homeopathic cures. When a
client comes in, I rely on my intuition to what is the root of their ailment,
and then I make them the perfect cure. After work, I tend to spend some alone
time with my boyfriend. Lately, I’ve been in a little pickle. Someone was found
dead on the steps of my shop. Needless to say. . .someone is framing me for
murder! Any free time I have, I’m trying to figure out who wants me gone.
19. Will you encourage your author to write a
sequel? She is on the third novel. I think she has six in mind J
