Catherine Gray, who publishes as Catherine Simone Gray, is an American writer and educator whose work is rooted in Mississippi, where she has lived since puberty. Her biography is marked by a major early rupture: in 2009, during her senior year of college, she left a sexually and psychologically abusive relationship that had lasted four and a half years. In the years that followed, she married, taught writing in rural Mississippi, built a reputation as a skilled classroom teacher, and earned an M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Mississippi. That combination of personal upheaval, formal study, and years in the classroom helped shape the reflective, teaching-centered voice that would later define her writing life.
