About Ray

I’m Ray Crites and I’ve been telling stories my whole life.

As a screenwriter, I craft stories about bruised, broken, and beautifully flawed people. About rebels chasing redemption. Teenagers with scars carved into their souls. Mothers crying out for their lost children, and Soldiers haunted by ghosts.

I don’t write superheroes, bank heists, or rom-coms.

I write characters that are tragically real -- characters who could never fit into some neat little box.
My characters curse. They cry. They fall. They fight.
Sometimes they get up. Sometimes they don’t.
But they are real, I promise you that.

I don't write because it’s cool, or because I want to move to Hollywood and become the next big thing...

I write because I have to -- I don't have a choice. If I stop, I might go crazy. Because when the voices in my head stop whispering… you can bet your ass they're up to no good.
