I live with my wife, Yasmin, in Kalamunda, a small town in the hills outside Perth, the capital of Western Australia.
I live in a weatherboard and iron pole house that I designed and helped build. It sits on a hillside in a little valley. I never ever felt at home before I came to Australia. I love it here.
Yasmin and I share the house with one mongrel. This is not a reference to our son, Sam, but to our golden retriever X, Chica. Sam hasn't left home yet, but he is off travelling in faraway places. Which is the best education anyone can have.
I get to work at home, to swim in the pool, to play tennis a couple of times a week, to walk the dog, to muck around in the garden, to read books, to go out to movies, to visit and entertain friends. I'm a very lucky man. When I was a child and then a young adult and life was painful and bleak, I never imagined life could be this good.
In these pages you will find lists of books I have written. Some of them can be ordered from good bookshops and libraries. But some books are only available in this country or that. And books, of course, go out of print. If you wanted to buy one of the books and it was unobtainable, you could contact me to see whether I had a copy for sale.
Have fun.
Always try to be kind.

Latest Release: 'Strangers'

Nigel Gray has breathed new life into an almost extinct literary form, the epistolatory novel. The time is 1988/1989. Adrian is trapped in Thatcher's Britain. Harri has flown to a new life in Australia. The contrast between the old world and the new is sharply drawn. The protagonists come alive in a very contemporary way, warts, muddle, desires, anxieties, jokes, differences and all. Full of contradictions, they show at times great insight and intelligence as well as revealing an immense capacity for self-delusion. Gradually the layers of their pasts are peeled away to reveal their secrets. These letters, so full of sharp wit, stunning imagery, political perception, and insight into the human condition are love letters, entertainments, poison darts, literary jousts, and cries for help and understanding all at the same time.
