About Nowick Gray

Born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1950, I lived also near New York, Atlanta and Chicago while growing up. After attending Dartmouth College, I continued my travels throughout the western states and Canada. I completed my formal education with an MA and teacher training in British Columbia, and taught in Inuit villages in Northern Quebec for three years.

In 1980 I settled in a small mountain community in British Columbia, where I established a homestead, built a house and started a family of my own. In 2002 I moved to the city of Victoria, BC, where I run an online editing business, and enjoy playing African drums, performing with a world-beat percussion band. In winters I enjoy traveling to tropical locations.

Having also worked as a carpenter, treeplanter and nonviolence trainer, I've continued a lifelong devotion to writing. My poetry, fiction and nonfiction has appeared in a variety of periodicals and anthologies, and my first novel, Rendezvous at Jumbo Pass, was published in 2013.
