Dorien Grey is the pen-name and alter ego of a former book and magazine editor now living in a remote and time-warped area of the upper mid-west. While working for a large publishing house in Los Angeles, Dorien was instrumental in establishing a division exclusively for the publication of gay paperbacks and magazines, of which he became editor. He moved on to edit a leading L.A.-based international gay men's magazine. Dorien left Los Angeles for the mid-west to pursue his dream of opening a bed and breakfast and starting a literary service to work with writers through the mail. ("Beware of your dreams," he cautions.) He currently devotes his energies to writing, and has more novels and poetry in the works.
