Bio
Claudia Gray is the pseudonym or pen name of a bestselling, Chicago-based novelist. She is perhaps best known for her four-book Evernight series, which follows a girl named Bianca, who is sent to Evernight Academy, a boarding school for vampires. Not knowing the school's true nature, Bianca is subsequently thrust into the middle of a conflict between supernatural forces beyond her understanding.
Gray has also published Balthazar, a spin-off of the Evernight series about Bianca's vampire friend, and a stand-alone novel entitled Fateful, the tale of a young serving woman aboard the doomed ship Titanic, and a dark stranger who is pursued by werewolves. Gray's short stories have been featured in anthologies such as Immortal, Enthralled, and Vacations from Hell.
Before working as a full-time novelist, Gray worked as a lawyer, a disc jockey, a journalist, and a waitress (a terrible one by her reckoning). She enjoys hiking, traveling, reading, and listening to music, but says she loves writing best of all.
When writing, Gray puts together a "soundtrack" to create the appropriate atmosphere for each book. She feels aspiring writers should not be overly anxious about publishing early in life, as what is really important is that one's writing be ready for publishing.

The last great movie I saw was...
Coco Before Chanel, a French movie. It made me want to visit France, or at least go shopping.
My idea of a dream vacation is...
going back to southern Chile to do some hiking. I went there in 2008 and can't wait to return.
My desert-island book would be...
Gone with the Wind. I've been reading it since I was 10, and if I'm not tired of it yet, I never will be!
My writing rituals include...
creating a soundtrack for each book, then playing it the whole time I'm working on that novel.
When I'm not writing or reading I...
love to see movies.
The music I'm really into these days is...
Scandinavian electronica, mostly. Yeah, I know.
If I couldn't be a writer, I would be...
back practicing law, probably.
An author I'd love to lunch with is...
Rosamunde Pilcher, because the people in her books are always eating these huge delicious meals.
My favorite animal (or pet!) is...
a pug. I love their little scrunchy faces.
The fictional character who most resembles me is...
Liz Lemon on 30 Rock.
The fictional character I most admire is...
Aslan. Come on. It's Aslan.
A perfect day would include...
sleeping late, lovely weather, friends, laughter and pasta.
My favorite city is...
Rome.
The place where I am the happiest is...
at my keyboard, outlining a brand-new story idea.
