Clio Gray has won many awards for her writing, including the Harry Bowling First Novel Award. She has been Man Booker Nominated, Long Listed for the Baileys, and Short Listed for the Cinnamon Prize. Born in Yorkshire, she spent her later childhood in Devon before returning to Yorkshire to go to university, after which she ended up in Scotland. For the past thirty years, she has lived in the Highlands where she intends to remain. Gray eschewed the usual route of marriage, mortgage, and children, and instead spent her working life in libraries, filling her home with books and sharing that home with her dogs. When she gets a few days off you can find her in her campervan scooting around the lesser-known areas of Scotland and the Highlands that haven’t been brought to ruination by the dreadful tourist push called the NC500.
