Joan June Chen

JOAN JUNE CHEN MD obtained her undergraduate and medical school degrees from Stanford University, then went on to complete her anesthesiology residency at UCSF. Though she may be a full-time anesthesiologist, when she's out from under the bright glare of the operating room lights, her other passions are writing and letting her creative juices flow free. She currently lives along the gently rolling foothills of the Bay Area with her husband, two children, and a pair of mischievous Ewoks. Leaning on Water is her first novel (and third child). Don't miss its sequel, The Gravity of Stars!
