FINALLY!!
After many years of writing and researching, my autobiography, 
'It's All About Me! & William the Conqueror's Grandfather,' was finally published on 27th September 2022.
This has set me on the road to write a series of books on my Family History.
This website is dedicated to that project.
These books are written in my family name of deGray. To access my other books written as Tricia Frances please click here Books by Tricia Frances.

Did you know that we could be related!!
Whilst researching my family tree and writing my autobiography IT'S ALL ABOUT ME! and William the Conqueror's Grandfather I discovered that centuries back my parents had a common ancestor - then I found another one!
So it's likely that you and I also have a common ancestor!
This has become so intriquing that i decided to write a series of books based on our family, looking at the culture, fashions and homes at the time.
Each book will cover 200 or so years and the series will be called 'It's All About My Ancestors'.
You will be able to keep up to date with this project here.

In the meantime if you would like to purchase the books you can do that in the BOOK SHOP where there are still a few signed copies.  Or you can get a B&W hardback or kindle edition now from Amazon

About - Author imageAbout - Author image
A Writer and Artist since the age of 15, I have had many poems, articles and stories published, and a few books of poetry and a Vegan cookbook. I have sold many artworks and still teach various art and craft workshops.
I was born in London but moved to Epping Forest in my 20's. I settled in Norfolk, first in the countryside then finally on the outskirts of Norwich city in the 90's. I had worked as a costumier for 20 years but always found outlets for my writing, becoming the East Anglian review contributor for Heckler magazine and as reporter for the local paper. In the 90's I had a book deal on the cards but fate took a hand and my life went in a different direction - as is often the case. I became a high school art & textiles teacher and have 4 and half degrees including an M.Ed.
I am now working on my Autobiography 'IT'S ALL ABOUT ME!' - 'and William the Conqueror's Grandfather' .
On researching my autobiography I found that my family of Gray / Grey was well documented going back hundreds of years and spanned many countries.
Knowing at the age of 15 that I would write this book when I retire, it is finally happening and due for release 27th September 2022
I live in Norwich with my adopted fish. I write downstairs in my office and create art upstairs in my studio - the perfect combination!

I have been an mixed media and textile artist and designer for more than 40 years. At the age of 16 my crochet designs were being sold in Biba, London. I was one of the first punk designers and worked as a historical and theatrical costumier designing costumes for stage and screen for 20+ years from my premises in London and Norfolk. After getting my MEd I got into teaching and worked as an art & textile teacher in high school for 15 years and now teach those subjects to adults at Handmade Gifts & Gallery, and from my studio in Norwich. I was commissioned a few years ago to create a room box for the Small Stories joint exhibition with V&A at Norwich Castle Museum. Its called Under the Bed and is one of my favourite miniature dioramas!
I am so fortunate to have always worked in the creative arts as both an Author and Artist!
