Phil Gray lives in Hawaii with his wife of many years. He has an undergraduate degree in Physics from an obscure university in Connecticut, a law degree from Ohio State University, and a certificate from Mt Kilimanjaro National Park confirming he made it to the summit. He was active in the California and Hawaii real estate industry for more than 35 years but did not become overly rich and famous as was his dearest wish. He has traveled extensively in Africa, and routinely indulges a special fondness for safaris in the sub-Saharan countries. His first three books are principally humorous, some have even said hilarious. His fourth book, Hunters Of The Pride, is a hard-boiled murder mystery.
