Stephen M. Gray

Prior to becoming a serial novelist, Stephen M. Gray worked as a corporate attorney in complex litigation. Early in Gray’s legal career, his travels to Asia fueled a thirst to learn about China’s history. His extensive research into the teaching of Sun Tzu for application in today’s business world led to his fascination with 6th Century B.C. China. There, Gray discovered folklore about the abuse of power and privilege, and the noble effort of a few brave warriors who fought against tremendous odds for their survival. Hidden Paths is Gray’s first of five novels in The Mark of Wu series. He lives in San Antonio, Texas with his wife of 26 years.
