Ray White is a novelist, lawyer, and lifelong student of mystical phenomena, now living in Richmond, VA.

As an attorney in New York, Ray focused on trial work related to entertainment, criminal, and family law matters. He eventually advanced to an executive role with the National Institute for Trial Advocacy when it was headquartered at the Notre Dame Law School, where he was also a part of the institute's trial skills faculty. In fact, he has taught trial skills throughout the US, as he and his family have lived in all four mainland time zones - from Charlottesville and Earlysville, VA; to Tucson, AZ; to South Bend, IN; to New York City and upstate to Albany; and now to Richmond where he promises to settle down and do nothing but write novels and stay out of trouble.

Ray describes his greatest non-writing professional achievement as trying a national precedent setting murder case, and his greatest professional disappointment occurred when he learned Johnny Cash already helped make 'I've Been Everywhere Man' popular before Ray had a chance to write it.
