I have written many works of fiction in the past, but Gray is my first published novel (also featuring my own cover art and illustrations). It took three years of repeatedly reading "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde and four revisions, but it's been worth every moment writing it. Three years ago when I finished reading the classic, I felt compelled to give Dorian a second shot at reforming himself and also tell his dramatic story through a more personal perspective-one from his servants. Some of them were actual (underdeveloped) characters in the classic while the rest were added in for different points of view.
