His second book, The Enchanted Globe, a fantasy adventure story that teaches geography, was published in 2016. Faircloth had the idea for the Maine Discovery Museum in 1996 and led the project from concept to completion in 2001. It was credited with sparking downtown revitalization. Maine Discovery Museum was then the second largest children's museum outside Boston in New England. In 2016, Environment Maine recognized Faircloth with a gold medal in the "Mayor's Climate Olympics" for his residential rebate program, "EnergySmartBangor". Faircloth successfully spearheaded over thirty laws, including the so-called Deadbeat Dad child support law which was later incorporated into federal law. Faircloth had numerous legislative successes in children's issues and justice system reform. Faircloth has spoken around the United States regarding the U.S. Constitution, children's policy, obesity policy, and sex crime law. In 2013 Faircloth traveled to New Zealand and Australia, lecturing at the Sydney Opera House to start policy oriented secular groups, whose model can be duplicated in other countries. In April 2014, Faircloth spoke in the Republic of Turkey about Atatürk, the Erdogan government and Turkish secularism. On January 27, 2018, Faircloth launched his campaign to become the next governor of Maine. On February 24, he dropped out of the campaign, citing his likely inability to receive public financing. He endorsed former House Speaker Mark Eves. (en)
