Author: Scott William Foley

I recently had a copy of my novel, Souls Triumphant, returned from a nonexistent address. Several attempts to reach the owner failed. The pages and cover were slightly bent in its travels. I can’t resell this signed, damaged copy, so if you’d like to try your hand at winning it and don’t mind the fact it…

Fables: The Good Prince (Volume 10) – A Graphic Novel Review

Nov 14, 2008

by

The Good Prince-a more appropriate title for a book has never existed. Fables is, far and away, the best comic book series running at the moment. The Good Prince comprises issues 60-69 of the title, and having read the entire run thus far, I can attest that Fables just keeps getting better and better. In…

All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder: Volume I – A Graphic Novel Review

This book is absolutely insane, and I loved it! What we have here is a Batman story free of any previous or current continuity. Writer Frank Miller is taking Batman and starting his story from scratch. (Or is he? More on that later.) The Batman in this storyline is testosterone fueled, immature, and more than…

Well, friends, it’s unfortunate that Amazon Shorts is no longer accepting submissions, but I think we all kind of figured that was bound to be the case after such a long hiatus. I just wanted to thank Amazon Shorts and my fellow writers for giving it such a great go. I read somewhere that Amazon…

The Things They Carried – A Book Review

Nov 12, 2008

In The Things They Carried, Vietnam veteran Tim O’Brien called upon his own wartime experiences, labeled them as fiction, and wrote one of the most emotionally potent books I’ve ever read. It’s irrelevant to me how much of O’Brien’s book “really happened” because O’Brien’s words and stories in The Things They Carried deeply touched me. …

A few weeks ago, I wrote about meeting Tim O’Brien. (Click HERE if you’d like to read that account.) I just received a few photographs from the reception. Thankfully, I don’t look as nervous as I felt. Enjoy!

Utterly unapologetic, Eddie stands fuming outside in the bitter cold while his son, wife, and in-laws sit silently at the dinner table, surrounding a cold turkey. But how did such woeful events come to pass on Thanksgiving Day? To discover that answer, read “Cold Turkey,” my November short story found in both the Peoria and…

Land of Laughs by Jonathan Carroll – A Book Review

Nov 2, 2008

—

by

Land of Laughs was actually recommended to me based on my love of Paul Auster by someone I’ve never met. Though I was totally unfamiliar with Jonathan Carroll, I’m always on the hunt for new (to me) authors, so I figured I’d give him a shot! Land of Laughs is about a man named Thomas…
