Writing professionally didn’t equal stability. It had been engrained in me to seek stability. My parents were both lifelong government employees, so for a long time, I didn’t see my writing as a means to make a living. ![]() Though, my older brothers would likely say it was an insatiable noseyness. I guess you can say, curiosity fueled my early love of writing. I loved imagining what and who people went home to and what they did when they thought no one was watching. I used to love sitting on buses and subways with a notebook describing what I saw and experienced. I was raised in Queens, New York in the eighties and nineties which was a hodgepodge of languages, foods, music and dialects. As an African American female genre author, I am able to explore sides of our humanity in spaces and ways our stories are not typically told. After personal tragedy and well-needed soul searching, I had the guts to stand firm in who I am as an artist. It took a long time for me to come to terms with my identity as a writer. I majored in English in college and went on to practice law. My name is Faye McCray, and I am a writer. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly![]() ![]() But as he delves into the story, Jack realizes that Winslow’s so-called confession is bogus.

We visit the birthplace of humanity we hear the crashing of the highest waterfall the Earth has ever known and we watch as life emerges again after the asteroid hits, and the age of the mammal dawns. ![]() Halliday immerses us in a series of ancient landscapes, from the mammoth steppe in Ice Age Alaska to the lush rainforests of Eocene Antarctica, with its colonies of giant penguins, to Ediacaran Australia, where the moon is far brighter than ours today. Travelling back in time to the dawn of complex life, and across all seven continents, award-winning young palaeobiologist Thomas Halliday gives us a mesmerizing up close encounter with eras that are normally unimaginably distant. Otherlands is an epic, exhilarating journey into deep time, showing us the Earth as it used to exist, and the worlds that were here before ours.
