Claudia Gray nie je skutočné meno autorky. Ide o pseudonym, ktorý si zvolila bez zvláštneho dôvodu, snáď len preto, že niekedy je najlepší dôvod k činu práve jeho absencia. Autorka žije v New Orleans a pred písaním vystriedala celý rad povolaní, od diskžokejky po právničku či novinárku. Vo svojom voľnom čase rada cestuje, chodí po horách, číta a počúva hudbu, ale predovšetkým ju napĺňa písanie.
