Alex Gray was born and educated in Glasgow. After studying English
and Philosophy at the University of Strathclyde, she worked as a
visiting officer for the Department of Health, a time she looks
upon as postgraduate education since it proved a rich source of
character studies. She then trained as a secondary school teacher
of English.
Alex began writing professionally in 1993 and had immediate success
with short stories, articles, and commissions for BBC radio
programs. She has been awarded the Scottish Association of Writers'
Constable and Pitlochry trophies for her crime writing.
A regular on the Scottish bestseller lists, she is the author of
thirteen DCI Lorimer novels. She is the co-founder of the
international Scottish crime writing festival, Bloody Scotland,
which had its inaugural year in 2012.
