Prior to becoming a serial novelist, Stephen M. Gray worked as a corporate litigator on complex energy cases. Early in Gray’s legal career, his travels to China fueled a thirst to learn about Asian history. His extensive research into the teaching of Sun Tzu, for application in today’s business world, led him to 6th Century B.C. China.  There Gray discovered folklore about the abuse of power and privilege, and the noble effort of a few brave individuals to prevent the country’s destruction.

Gray lives in San Antonio with his wife of 26 years. Hidden Paths is his first book.
