R Alan Gray

Born and raised in the deep south, Alan is a Tennessee-born storyteller whose reputation for outrageous humor and blunt honesty has followed him for decades. Alan brings forth all the charm of southern living with keen wit and sarcasm. Known affecionately as "Miss Gray" among friends, Gray developed his larger-than-life persona through years of performance-like storytelling rooted in real experience.

Drawing from childhood memories, club culture, family conflict, and the enduring impact of friendship, They Call Me Miss Gray marks his first published collection of stories. His writing is intentionally unfiltered, fiercely authentic, and driven by the belief that if you can make someone laugh-even for a moment-you've done your job.
