ⓘ About John Gray

John Gray is an Award winning columnist and author who has for a long time reported for the “Capital Region Living Magazine,” the “Saratogian” and the “Troy Record.” While he is best known for his debut novel “Manchester Christmas,” he started out writing children’s fiction. Gray always wanted to write a novel but he never expected that he would get to do it so soon. While working as a reporter and columnist, he just assumed that he would get to retire once he was retired. In an interview with “The Daily Gazette” he said that he believed he would have more time once he was retired. His debut novel’s idea came from a vivid dream and afterwards, he just could not stop thinking about it.
