Ray Peden

Ray Peden is a reputed American writer of action-packed thrillers and suspense novels. He hails from Frankfort, Kentucky, United States and is particularly famous for writing the Patrick Grainger book series, which is comprised of just two books so far. Before trying his luck in the field of writing, Peden worked as a General Contractor, Civil Engineer, Home designer, builder, Land developer, and PR copywriter. He spent around 45 years of his life in these professions before he decided to write his first book. In his younger days, Peden had an interest in creative writing, but the need to earn a living made him undertake a slight detour from his creative interests. In between his civil engineering commitments, Peden found time to indulge himself in the pursuit of magazine editing, painting, making cartoons, playing R&B guitar, taking up carpentry, posing as a drill sergeant, and doing stone masonry.
