June had left the pace and excitement of working in and around New York to be married in New Orleans before moving with her husband, a physician, to Saudi Arabia. She was to spend the next ten years there, savouring the exotic Middle Eastern culture, living, working and enjoying the company of people from all over the world and co-founding the first school for children with Down's Syndrome. June also traveled extensively to Europe, China, Australia, America and the Caribbean. It was during a home visit to England that she first began an intensive study of 'Imagination, Meditation, and Mental Discipline,' eventually becoming an advanced graduate of and an ambassador for The Silva Method. June's decision to take this course was to transform and enhance her life, particularly as a writer, freeing her from a lifelong handicap with dyslexia, learning to spell virtually overnight at the age of forty and developing a heightened 'Spiritual Sensitivity' that allowed her to write Unshriven, her first published book.
