About
Gray was born in Southern California and has spent most of her life in the Midwest. An itinerant academic by trade, she tends to move to a completely different and unexpected place every few years. She makes her living teaching writing at the university level, and considers herself incredibly lucky to be doing exactly what she wants to do.
Writing
Gray is most comfortable with novels, which seem to grow themselves from a tiny silver of an idea. As a typical INTJ, her strength is coming up with ideas, which are then planned excessively. Her work rarely has any clear delineation between "good guys" and "bad guys." All characters struggle with themselves as much as with each other, fighting to reconcile their place in the world. Gray is interested in throwing characters into situations in which they are forced to come to grips with their deepest flaws. She enjoys creating characters who are very different from herself, putting herself into different perspectives.
Current Work
Gray is currently working on a gay urban fantasy novel as well as several other projects in outlining and planning stages. She is also working on a commercial urban fantasy novel under the name Vivien Weaver.
