T.M. Gray was born on 23 Nov. 1963 in Bar Harbor, Maine, daughter of a lobster fisherman. She lives in the small fishing village of Birch Harbor (Gouldsboro), Maine, with her husband, Bob, a lobster fisherman, their two teenage children, and a fox hound.

Gray has teamed up with fellow Maine author Mark Edward Hall to co-author the chapbook ghost story The Ruby Necklace (which can be ordered at http://www.tmgray.tk), and has written another chapbook, Pianissimo, with Susanne S. Brydenbaugh. She has also co-authored the historical vampire novel, White Meat, with British writer Mark West.

Several of Gray's stories have been recommended for the Horror Writers Association's Bram Stoker Award. Her story 'Beyond the Mist' (published in Extremes 3) received an honorable mention in The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror (15th edition, ed. Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling).

Gray's article about writing horror, "Oh, Those Weird Ideas," is online at ReallyScary.com. A January 2004 interview with Gray is available at Chronicle of the Eternal Night. Gray (with other HWA Mainers) appears in The Portland Phoenix article "The Frighteners: The Horror Writers Association of New England Comes to Town."
