Dr. Joseph De Sena is a practicing anesthesiologist who lives and works on Staten Island, New York. Born and raised in Brooklyn, he completed both his medical school education and his anesthesiology training at the SUNY Health Science Center at Brooklyn. Married and the father of four, he has been writing on and off for some fifteen years, with works ranging from children's books to dramatic novels either completed or in progress. His children's works, initially written for his own children as bedtime stories, deliver strong moral messages to children of all ages. Concepts like self confidence and embracing others' differences are woven into each story line, and masterful illustrations by veteran artist Dennis Anfuso colorfully bring each tale to life. As a result, De Sena's books are a pleasure for both readers and listeners alike.
