Devin Kalile Grayson (name legally changed) is an American writer of comic books and novels. Titles that she has written include Gotham Knights, The Titans, the Vertigo series USER, and Nightwing.
Devin Grayson was born in a hippie communal farmstead in New Haven, Connecticut. When her parents divorced two years later, Grayson and her mother relocated to Berkeley, California. Deciding at a young age that she wanted to be an actress, Grayson studied the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, the Drama Studio London at Berkeley, the Julia Morgan Bay Area Youth Theater Co., Cazadero Performing Arts Camp, the Berkeley Shakespeare Festival, Jean Shelton's and School of the Arts. She subsequently changed her focus to writing, enrolled in a local community college, and then at Bard College in Upstate New York.
At a young age, Grayson realized that she was bisexual, saying, "I was attracted to both girls and boys very early on, but, being a kid, I had no idea that had a name. I remember being about seven and having this crush on a girl in my summer camp, Nicole. When we went swimming, her eyelashes would clump together in the most bewitching away -- just like a Vegas showgirl, not that I'd ever seen one at that time -- and I just thought I'd never seen anything so beautiful. At the same time, I was 'madly in love' with the camp counselor, George. He playfully asked me to marry him, and I said we'd have to marry Nicole, too, and being in his early twenties and joking in the certainty that I wouldn't understand him, George grinned wide, grabbed a giggling Nicole, and said, 'Even better!'". Though most of the people in her life were accepting of her bisexuality, Grayson's father was initially troubled when he learned of it. He later explained to Grayson that he was worried about how it would make life difficult for her, though Grayson states that none of the problems she has ever faced in life stemmed from her sexuality, with the exception of her relationship with a girlfriend while in college that eventually ended because of her girlfriend's need to remain closeted.
