Nell Grey was born in 1947, and brought up in the South of England, although she lived for many years in Southern Africa. She has spent most of her life as an artist, exhibiting with The Society of Women Artists, The National Acrylic Painters Association and other societies, but in 2003 published her first novel, Solitary Pleasures. This was followed in 2004 by The Golden Web, the result of a lifelong fascination with myth, magic, and the origin and practice of esoteric religions, and in 2006 by Three Magic Women, both prequel and sequel to The Golden Web.
She lives in Sussex, and is currently working on the final book in the trilogy that began with The Golden Web.
