Joan Bransfield Graham was born on October 31, 1944 in Wildwood-by-the-sea, New Jersey. She grew up in that area and attended Rowan College in New Jersey. She continued her education at the University of Wisconsin, UCLA and the University of San Francisco.

She now lives near the Pacific Ocean in California with her husband, James Patrick Graham, who is a former FBI agent. She has two daughters named Aimee and Heather.

Her hobbies include art, crafts, photography, traveling, camping, sailing, poetry and reading.

Ms. Graham published “Splish Splash” in 1994. This is a book of concrete poems, the shape of the words form the visual image of the item the words describe. Her next title “Flicker Flash” was published in 1999 and is also poetry.

Joan Graham talks with students at Washington Elementary School in Eureka during the 2003 Humboldt County Children's Author Festival.
