S.L Gray
I’m S.L. Gray — a contemporary romance indie author based in the rainy (hoa hoa hoa) PNW. I write spicy stories with plenty of heart and sometimes I throw all shame out the window and go full smut. My books are powered by caffeine, dark (t)rap music, and inspired by the fear of being average. When I’m not drafting chaos, you can find me gaming (COD girlie forever), hoarding unread books or binging an unhealthy amount of paranormal and true crime content. I write for the readers who love banter, angst, touch-starved obsession, and characters who make bad decisions for good reasons.

I've been writing since I can remember- was a bit of (a lot of) an outcast when I was a kid so books were my only friends, and the MMCs within them my true loves. Still are, honestly.
