Order of Alex Gray Books
Alex Gray crafts compelling crime fiction from her home base near Glasgow, Scotland, drawing on her intimate knowledge of the city where she was born, raised, and educated. This Scottish author has built her reputation around the popular Lorimer and Brightman series, bringing the gritty streets of Glasgow to life for mystery lovers worldwide.
Armed with an honours degree in English from the University of Strathclyde, Gray channels her academic background into her writing craft. She finds inspiration and support through her involvement with the Erskine Writers Group, where she values the fellowship and motivation that comes from connecting with other authors.
Beyond her writing desk, Gray maintains an active presence in the literary community, frequently traveling across the country as a guest speaker to engage with reading groups and students. When she's not crafting her next mystery or meeting with readers, she enjoys a quieter life outside Glasgow alongside her husband and their feline companions.
Gray entered the crime fiction scene in 2002 with her debut novel Never Somewhere Else, marking the beginning of what would become a successful career in the genre.
