About
the Author
Ray Gorham was
born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1966.
Prior to settling in the United States in 1991, Ray had the good fortune
to live in a variety of locations around the world. Years in Australia, England, Lebanon, Japan,
Canada, and the United States all helped shape his background, worldview, and
appreciation for other people and cultures.
Upon graduating
from college with a degree in Accounting, Ray decided he
couldn’t foresee spending a future studying tax law and sitting in front of a
computer all day, so he took a management position with Wal-Mart and spent the
next 10 years in retail management where he had the opportunity to interact
with hundreds of employees and thousands of customers on a weekly basis. After growing tired of working for large
corporations, Ray next opened and tried running a restaurant but decided after
a year that the restaurant business wasn’t for him either. From there, he found a small, log home business
for sale in Montana in 2006 and settled in for what he hoped would be a
long-term career.
When the
construction industry slowed down in 2008, Ray knew he was going to have a lot
of time on his hands, so he determined to cross off one of the items on his
bucket list—writing a novel. After
thousands of hours of writing and editing, he had the final draft of his first
novel, a 108,000-word story of a husband struggling to return to his family
after a major terrorist attack incapacitates the country. While agents and publishers have passed on
his efforts to this point, Ray has found significant success in digital format,
selling over 10,000 copies of his work.
