Novelist, teacher, celebrity masseur, Edward Fahey has spent his life hunting magic, seeking out other sides of reality.
His parents have come back as ghosts. He's communed with mystics and hypnotists, camped in deserts, lived on a ship, traveled out-of-body, even fought his way into the fury of hurricanes; always reaching for anything beyond the easily explainable, for something more profound. He travels the world investigating spiritual centers and sites of almost palpable mystery. He has explored Bronze Age ceremonial mounds, stone circles, the Vatican, letters of the theosophical mahatmas, haunted ancient cemeteries, decrepit castles, and abandoned monasteries, seeking contact with lingering spirits.
Edward has studied with artists, philosophers, clairvoyants, and healers, always digging deeper into the ultimately unknowable. He currently holes up in a secluded mountain cabin in the Carolina woods, but travels wherever the spirit – or spirits – may call him.
Mr. Fahey’s books offer metaphysical insights through engaging tales of passion.
Other titles include:
The Gardens of Ailana
Entertaining Naked People
Just your Normal Everyday Mystics

Stories that are based upon reincarnation and life after death, as well as multi-universes, are nothing new. Tales of multiple worlds where the fabric that separates them fades and gives one a glimpse of another time or place, have also been done hundreds of times. I’ve read many of these, but only two or three were more cleverly plotted and written than The Mourning After by Edward Fahey. Kudos to Mr. Fahey for reaching that plateau. But, his writing skill doesn’t stop there. ‘Cleverly plotted’ is nowhere near adequate in describing his mind boggling approach to weaving three characters’ lives, past and present, into a continuous flow that coalesces and provides the reader with a satisfying and profound conclusion.
While entertaining his readership with a story of love, spirituality, world and life views, Mr. Fahey puts icing on the cake with another superior writing talent — phraseology. There are numerous best-selling authors that can ‘turn a phrase,’ leaving the reader agog at a subtle, yet poignant sentence. This term, however, falls far short of describing Mr. Fahey’s almost otherworldly brilliance in this aspect of authorship. Deftly entwining philosophical, spiritual and theological concepts into prose that reads like poetry, he surpasses all standards of mastery in this literary work of fiction. The Mourning After is one of those books that can (and should) be read many times over. I know that I will be reading this book again, confident that I will discover something new with each reading…and that’s what makes for a truly great book.
