"Love is like a
violin. The music may stop now and then, but the strings remain
forever." - June Masters Bacher
June Masters Bacher was a 33-year resident of Escondido up until her
death at
the Palomar Convalescent Center on June 25, 1993. After teaching for the
Escondido Elementary School district for 21 years, she began writing
what she called "Inspirational Books" but most of her 34 books are now
categorized as Christian romances.
Born in Mount Pleasant, Texas June 21st, 1918, she got her start writing
columns for newspapers in her community about 50 miles southwest of the
Texas Arkansas border. Bacher worked as a secretary and free lance
author for the first 18 years of her marriage to George Bacher before
taking a teacher in Grants Pass, Oregon.
An energetic woman, she was simultaneously a teacher, writer, wife and
mother, while she earned her bachelors from the University of Oregon
followed by her masters from the University of Redlands. In a 1978 Times
Advocate article, while still a teacher at Juniper Elementary, she
claimed to write essays, stories or poems from two to eight hours a day.
Her first novel,
Love is a Gentle Stranger, was published in 1982.
