Edmund J. Gray was born in Northumberland, UK, in the charming hamlet of Waren Mill, on the northern edge of Bamburgh village, just a few hundred yards from the sea at Budle Bay.  His favorite childhood memories revolve around impromptu European holidays with his mother, frolicking at the water’s edge at Budle Bay, and surrounding himself with his many unique imaginary friends, several of which now populate the pages of his fantastic book series.

Edmund Joined the Merchant Marines as soon as he was old enough to do so, and had countless adventures spanning much of the world (civilized and otherwise), including: Africa, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, and his personal favorite – India.  He settled in Sacramento, CA, in the US, where he married his wife, Rose.  He has one daughter, Sandra, who, not surprisingly, loves to read.

In addition to writing, Edmund also loves to cook, sketch, and write in calligraphy.
