About Me

My name is Tray. I'm an author and illustrator currently based in London.

I've spent the past dozen years or so of my life working in journalism. After two dailies, an alt-weekly newspaper and a weekly glossy magazine, I opted to go freelance in 2007. I now contribute stories, columns and illustrations to a range of print and online publications.

I grew up in the American South (which means I like sweat tea and warm weather) and graduated cum laude from the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism (which means I prefer beer to liquor, unless we're at brunch). My partner and I relocated to London at the start of 2009.

My travel guide, the Moon Atlanta handbook, is available now from Avalon Travel.
