About this author

Cecilia Gray lives in the San Francisco Bay Area where she reads, writes and breaks for food. She also pens her biographies in the third person. Like this. As if to trick you into thinking someone else wrote it because she is important. Alas, this is not the case.

Cecilia has been praised for “instilling a warmth and weight into her characters” (Romancing The Book Reviews) and her books have been praised for being “well-written, original, realistic and witty” (Quills & Zebras Reviews).

Her latest series of young-adult contemporary Jane Austen retellings was named a What’s Hot pick (RT Book Reviews magazine) and is a Best of 2012 pick (Kirkus Reviews) where it was praised for being a “unique twist on a classic” and offering “a compelling m...more


I love New Adult books. I read them like crack cocaine smothered in heroin and dipped in dark chocolate. But just like crack cocaine smothered in heroin and dipped in dark chocolate, the relationships in these books seem traumatic to experience first-hand.

The cry of my book club is clear: Why can't I find a Kellan or Rush or Cam or Dean or Alec to call my own?

“But it always came back to anger.”
Cecilia Gray, Fall For You

“I just can't stop thinking about you. Don't get me wrong. It hasn't always been good thoughts. I mean, at first, you seemed like such a snob and then...everything changed. I was thinking maybe...we could...we could got out. Together. On a date. I mean...I want to go out with you. I'd like to go out with you.”
Cecilia Gray, Fall For You

“Emma: It's obvious he likes you. So painfully obvious - and what does he do about it? Nothing.”
Cecilia Gray, So Into You

Alexa Are any of your books going to become available in hard copy format?? I am dying to read them, but I don't have a kindle, etc.

Bryan Thanks for the add!!


Cécilia L. YOUR NAME IS AWESOME TOO. xD


Laurie (Bitten by Paranormal Romance) Thanks for the friend request.


message 3: by Alexa

Alexa Thanks for the friend request! :)


Cecilia Gray Thank you for the add! I am perfectly willing to appreciate Peeta should Katniss tire of him. :)

I picked up Marbury Lens after seeing the author speak at a young-adult panel (which I had gone to for a different author). He had this grounded presence about him that made me pick up his book but wow, I was not expecting it to be such an experience.

(Also, love your Friends "put the book in a freezer" reference! Haha, poor Joey reading Little Women.)


Wendy Darling You know, I always liked Peeta better too. I wish Katniss had appreciated him a little more. *sigh*

Thanks for the friendvite! I look forward to chatting, especially about this compelling horror that is Marbury Lens...
