Mary Kathy Gray was born in Fort Worth, Tx. Reared on a farm outside a small town nearby, Mary learned much about life that today she shares in her books. She has two sons, a grandson and granddaughter, two great-granddaughters and a great-grandson. In 1986, she felt led by God to write expressions of His love through her award-winning poetry, scripture studies, prayers, short stories, novella, novels and articles of inspiration. Mary is a contributing author in six books and has now published three books, The Call of the Mourning Doves, Teddy Bear Hugs, and Allie and the Wandering Albatross book and a fourth book in the making for the fall of 2026.
