Gayle Young (writer)
Gayle Young, Author (born November 20, 1940, Birmingham, Alabama) is an author of both fiction and nonfiction.
Gayle Young was born November 20, 1940, to Coy S. and Brownie Dunlap, the second child after her brother Coy L. "Buddy" Dunlap. After graduating from Phillips High School in Birmingham, she worked for many years as a secretary and then a legal secretary, retiring to write full-time in her 50s. She has four children, Donna, David, Debbie, and Donny, and three grandchildren, Kayla, Chase, and Carlen. Following retirement, she took care of her grandchildren and wrote full-time for a number of years. At age 75, she returned to college and is working on a degree in English at Calhoun Community College.[1]
Although she worked on her writing and published essays in newspapers and anthologies, her writing career took off after a chance meeting with a publisher in 2018. Just a year later, she published her humorous memoir Redbirds, Roses, and Ghosts at age 77, in which she laughs about her struggles with writing, dieting, and life. In 2020, she published her first novel, Dirty Pink, a story about a history teacher caught in series of unusual events; like her memoir, her novel is written with a sense of sly humor.[2]
