![]() ![]() 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. ![]()
