About the author

Writing has been a part of Grayson’s life in one form or another since childhood. Everything from academic and technical writing to blogging, and even writing fanfiction. These days he splits his time between writing queer fiction stories and writing articles about LGBTQ issues.

As an autistic, gay, transgender man, Grayson adds his personal experience to his writing, because it colors how he sees the world and because it brings much-needed representation to the genres he enjoys exploring.

Sharing his home in Colorado with his dogs, Grayson also enjoys whipping up something creative in the kitchen or escaping into the world of video games.
