Full Length Bio

Julie Leong is a USA Today and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Teller of Small Fortunes and The Keeper of Magical Things.

A daughter of Malaysian Chinese immigrants, Julie Leong grew up across suburban New Jersey and Beijing, China and managed to feel equally out of place in both. She studied economics and political science at Yale University and was briefly an investment banker before coming to her senses and jumping to the tech world instead.

She lives in San Francisco with her needy dog, less-needy husband, and one thoroughly self-sufficient Meyer lemon tree. When she’s not writing, she enjoys making unnecessary spreadsheets and flambéing things.
