June Marshall, author of Booby Trapped: Men Beware! the Dirty Seven Sisters and The Dirty Seven: Ladies Beware! was born in Sao Paolo, Brazil to American parents. They moved back to the United States while she was a child. After finishing college, she went to New York to study acting and singing, along with earning a Masters in English Literature.
She then moved to Europe, where she lived in Belgium and visited the major cities of the continent. Next came her “Passage to India,” where she traveled from its southernmost tip to the Himalayas. Her familiarity with diverse cultures of the world originates from these experiences and flavors her unique philosophy. It has also greatly contributed to her understanding of human nature.
Her career, so far, has included being a Writer, Public Speaker and Speech Writer, English Teacher, Actor-Singer, and even being Webmaster and Systems Usability Engineer at AT&T.
She has appeared on television and radio as well as given talks and seminars on the topic of mateability, behavioral standards, and selectivity in the dating arena. She has also written numerous articles for various publications.
Her concepts for her first two books took shape in 1981 when she was newly single in New York City, after a divorce. She noticed that certain types of men (The Dirty Seven) and women (the Dirty Seven Sisters) were actively seeking life partners and yet they were not behaviorally or emotionally equipped to sustain such relationships. She observed the havoc wrought in her friends’ and acquaintances’ lives by these unsuitable mates.
Twenty years later, she was again single and out in the dating marketplace. Once again these types asserted themselves. The idea had stood the test of time. The Dirty Sevens are still out there, actively seeking mates. They are still as unsuitable for consumption as certain types of poisonous mushrooms, which may look tempting but are deadly.
Not one to sit on her laurels for long, she is already at work on her next-to-be published book, The Second Marshall Plan: Making the World Safe for Love and Happiness. It will present her approach to some of human life’s deepest issues: The search for meaning, the need for love, and social structures that impede what they purport to achieve.
June has two grown daughters and lives in the New York metropolitan area.
