During a career in education and training, Ray has written several articles for academic journals, and has authored teaching materials. Following his work for a national charity, he gained a research PhD (Leicester 2010). Ray led a campaign in 2013 to rescue a local bookshop scheduled for closure, establishing a group of volunteers who formed a new, not-for-profit community company. Kett’s Books has evolved successfully ever since.
A professional theatre company toured Suffolk and Norfolk in 2016 with his play about the life and work of the poet, George Crabbe. In Crabbe’s Peter Grimes (1810), an Aldeburgh fisherman kills three apprentices ‘farmed out’ from a London workhouse. Ray’s background reading about the period sparked fresh ideas for his novel 'The Prentice-Boy'

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing.
