Life
Having discovered Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation Sherlock Holmes when she was 10,[5] her interest in the famous sleuth continues to be part of her life as a member of both The Baker Street Irregulars and Baker Street Babes.[5] Faye described the debt all mystery authors owe to Conan Doyle saying "You can’t escape Sherlock Holmes as a mystery writer. You simply cannot. It would be like trying to deal with astrophysics without Newton or modern art without Picasso."[6]
Faye attended R. A. Long High School[2] as did her future spouse, Gabriel Lehner.[2]
Career
2016 brought Faye's re-imagining of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre titled Jane Steele.[7]
