Entertaining Naked People

As a small boy, frail in body and spirit, Ed taps into lives that had been lived and lost long ago. They dig through him like lingering nostalgia for days he can't quite recall. Pathologically sensitive, he feels what friends and family hide even from themselves. Depressed, overwhelmed, he's afraid to reach out into life.Ed leaves for college as the Vietnam War deadens souls and riots tear cities apart. When he is drafted he refuses induction, knowing that if he ever finds himself in a paddy facing an armed enemy soldier, he wouldn't be the one pulling the trigger.Hitching a ride west with a strangely wise cowboy, he is pulled ever more deeply into the bizarre and the impossible. Meeting healers and miracle workers, he sorts through his own darkness and power, learning from experience that death is only temporary.Ed teaches massage school in southern California, his life spilling over with unbridled passion now of a more erogenous sort, but even bliss comes with challenges. Sometimes we must be destroyed to be reborn. Ed has to crawl from the wreckage of his own being; finding healing, joy, love, and fulfillment; one naked truth at a time."Entertaining Naked People" is Magic Realism. It is today. This is not wizards and hobgoblins. There is magic in the Real world for all of us.Sometimes it only takes a little clearer form of loving to set it free. As Ed discovers in our story, sometimes we search long and hard for it only to find it's been inside us all along.

About the Author
Edward Fahey has spent his life hunting magic, seeking out other sides of reality. He's communed with mediums and hypnotists, miracle workers and ghosts; always reaching for experiences more profound than the mind can easily grasp. 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 theosophical mahatmas, haunted ancient cemeteries, decrepit castles, and abandoned monasteries, seeking contact with lingering spirits. Edward has studied with artists, philosophers, clairvoyants, and healers, digging ever 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 writes absorbing novels with richly layered characters and deep philosophical underpinnings. Entertaining Naked People is the story a modern mystic's fight for his soul. It speaks with unsettling honesty about love, loss, and triumph; about finding meaning even in thwarted and troublesome lives. The Mourning After is a soft-hearted romance carrying the reader through lifetimes and mystery. The Gardens of Ailana is a tale of troubled childhoods, redemption, and the recovery of innocence. We touch other realms through the hearts of seers and healers, deeply exploring what lies beyond. He is currently developing a book he is calling Internet Mystics.
