Gemma Ray

Author. Illustrator. Musical dreamer. Creative chaos coordinator.

Welcome to the world of Gemma Ray — where cozy gardens bloom in coloring books, fantasy adventures twist through time, and mischievous gremlins sometimes co-author chapters.

Gemma is the author of Garden of Tranquility, a bestselling coloring book for relaxation and mindfulness, and the creator of the whimsical fantasy series Tom & Gek in Worlds That Never Were. Her books blend calm, imagination, and a spark of humor — sometimes all on the same page.

In addition to publishing books, Gemma writes lyrics and sets classic poetry to music, performing songs on her YouTube channel. From Lord Byron to Russian Silver Age poets, her songs bring timeless words to life in new ways.

She also regularly shares updates, behind-the-scenes chaos, and strange book-related miracles — like the accidental summoning of Blid, a gremlin born from a printer error and too much formatting rage. Blid is now a semi-official co-author, mascot, and occasional saboteur.

✨ Whether you're here to color, read, laugh, or listen — welcome to the cozy creative mess.
