Melissa Grey was born and raised in New York City and currently lives and works in the South East of England. She wrote her first short story at the age of twelve and hasn’t stopped writing since. She is the author of The Girl at Midnight trilogy (Penguin Random House), Rated (Scholastic), The Buried (Scholastic) and Valiant Ladies (Macmillan). With Sam Maggs, Melissa is the co-author of EVE Online: The Capsuleer Chronicles, a four-issue comic book miniseries set in the player-driven world of New Eden and published by Dark Horse.
When she’s not penning novels, she’s working on interactive narratives. Previous video game work includes Voltage Entertainment’s Lovestruck and CCP Games’ EVE Online. In her capacity as a game developer on EVE, she spearheaded the narrative content for a number of releases including a complete reimagining of the new player experience and a successful collaboration with the BBC that saw Doctor Who and the Daleks (briefly) invade New Eden.
She can also ride a horse and shoot a bow and arrow at the same time, for what it’s worth, which is not much at all. Unless there’s some kind of zombie apocalypse. Then it’ll be worth a whole lot more.
She is represented by Catherine Drayton of InkWell Management.
