What’s in a name?
So far, the question we get asked the most is “Why Fred & June’s Books?” After all, my name isn’t Fred (it’s Stephen) and my wife’s name isn’t June (it’s Morgan). But the explanation is a simple one, and it essentially boils down to two things - memory and connection .

So far, the question we get asked the most is “Why Fred & June’s Books?” After all, my name isn’t Fred (it’s Stephen) and my wife’s name isn’t June (it’s Morgan). But the explanation is a simple one, and it essentially boils down to two things - memory and connection .
My dad, Fred, was always one of my absolute biggest supporters in EVERYTHING I ever did. He entertained my every whim (You want to be a drummer? That’s awesome, let’s go pick out a kit! A writer? Come on, I’ll try and help you sell your reviews to the local newspaper!). And when he passed away – for a while there I lost the wind in my sails. But over time, that wind returned, and I could hear his words of encouragement in my head, could remember the way his voice would resonate in such a way that you could just tell he believed in every piece of what he was saying. And those memories would push me forward to now, to the realization of this dream.
So, why not just Fred’s Books? Because we are more than just the words that we say, we are the relationships that we build. June was my father’s sister and, in fact, the only one to really be allowed to call him Fred (he was Guy to basically everybody else) and, in truth, my Aunt June had a way of saying his name that NOBODY would ever be able to match, anyway. They had a closeness that almost any siblings would envy. My dad would tell me stories about how loving she was, how fiercely protective she could be, and I recognized a bond both strong and lasting. Theirs was a connection that I can only hope to hold with the people in my life.
And this is what Fred & June’s Books represents - a place to create the lasting memories (of words, of dreams) and deep connections (with family, with friends) that make us who we are.
So, what’s in a name? The answer, of course, is everything.
