Hello and welcome! I’m Gemma Ray, author of cozy coloring books, whimsical tales, and humorous observations on life’s little absurdities.

This blog is my quiet corner of the internet — a place to share behind-the-scenes peeks at upcoming books, creative tips, publishing wins (and struggles!), and the occasional cup of digital tea. ☕

Here you’ll find:

• 🌸 Updates about new book releases
• ✍️ Tips for fellow authors and creatives
• 🎨 Stories behind my illustrations and characters
• 😂 Bits of humor from the trenches of self-publishing
• 🎵 Music inspired by poetry — including my YouTube channel

Whether you're a fellow dreamer, a curious reader, or a creator yourself — I'm happy you’re here.

Let’s grow something beautiful together.

With ink-stained fingers and a spark of magic,

Gemma
