What Would You Ask Faye?
If you've read Flesh Wound, you know that Faye leads an unusual life. Things have happened in her past that are not unusual, but profound nonetheless – an early marriage that ended in divorce; the death of her sister and brother-in-law in a tragic accident; adopting her now orphaned niece as a single parent. Faye's response to the seemingly random acts of fate that can happen in life has been to dive deeply into what she believes and realize that she has the power to make choices there. If she chooses to live by the general beliefs espoused by society or the specific beliefs of others close to her without questioning if she agrees with them, then she is forfeiting one of the most powerful actions she can take as a human being.
Her journey into self-scrutiny led to some surprising conclusions, a set of beliefs that resonates with her soul, and a most uncommon pursuit. She creates a place where individuals can express their deepest desires in a safe, controlled environment, and feel the fulfillment of the most intimate connection with another human being. In short, she provides a meaningful emotional experience to people who would otherwise go without. For this, she is rewarded with seeing the layers of protection and defense people use to shield themselves from the world fall way and watch people in their most vulnerable, childlike, and emotionally fulfilled states. She watches them come into the emotional balance needed to function positively in the world. For some, Faye becomes the most important emotional connection in their lives.
Most people don't do a deep enough dive within themselves to make conscious choices about what they believe and how they are going to live their lives. Those that do are often prodded into it by a traumatic event that forces them to take that step to cope, to avoid slipping into the numbing oblivion of an addiction or other destructive behavior.
If you had a chance to sit down and have lunch with Faye, what would you ask her? Well, you and anyone else who runs across the new Flesh Wound website will soon have that chance (not the lunch, the questions. 
). The development of the new website for Flesh Wound is in full swing, and it will feature a blog written alternately by Faye, Max, and Jon Say. Faye, Max, and Jon will also have their own email addresses where questions can be sent, and every one will be answered directly. Readers can also leave comments and questions on the blog, and Faye, Max, and Jon will answer them there for everyone to see. Faye and Max will have their own pages on the site that have a bio and a Q&A so readers can get to know them better.
This new site will be live in a couple of weeks, and will be followed by the media campaign on college campuses for Flesh Wound. Stay tuned, this is fun! In the meantime, work hard on your Halloween costumes. Thanks for reading! -Jon
