Meg Gray
Meg Gray uses a small world approach when crafting her contemporary romance novels, tying minor characters from one story into another—demonstrating how intertwined our human lives really are. The city streets and country roads she takes you down aren’t necessarily a structured series, but the stories are connected. Within the pages, her readers will catch glimpses of some of their favorite characters again and again. This is a concept that mirrors itself in our everyday lives. Our worlds are much smaller than we realize, often times we are unaware of the way our lives intersect with those around us.

I have been in love with the past for as long as I can remember. Anything with a history, whether shabby or majestic, recent or ancient, instantly draws me in.

Of course being set in the American South, those stories were also peopled by some very interesting characters, some of whom have found their way into my work.

I grew up in Columbia, MD and wrote my first story at 7-years-old—and have been addicted to storytelling ever since. I loved it so much that I considered my pencil to be one of my best friends!
Since then, I’ve written books, screenplays/scripts, comedy sketches, and comic strips—I love it all!
I went to college at UMBC and upon graduation I moved to Los Angeles to work as a writer and filmmaker.
My latest work is the novel UNCONDITIONAL. I spent two years writing it, and it was a labor of love. I also hope to make it my second feature film.
My first film DANCE BABY DANCE was released in 2018. I wrote it, produced it, directed it, and acted in it. I loved every hat I got to wear!
