The Rhythm of Secrets is an ambitious tale that presents the story of Sheila, a humble woman married to a high-profile pastor.  However, Sheila has secrets—dark secrets—that even her husband has not yet discovered.  From the wildness of 1940s New Orleans…

    I’m very excited to announce the arrival of Dr. Nekros to the Amazon Kindle! Dr. Nekros is a ghost hunter with a terribly scarred face.  He travels the countryside in a haunted 1936 Packard, a car for which he rarely gets along.  To make matters worse, his ex-wife Zetta reappears after thirteen years of separation,…

    Sometimes if you read enough of a certain author, you tend to notice the author’s trends, tendencies, and recurring themes.  Sunset Park is clearly a Paul Auster book, especially in regards to the above mentioned, but I believe it also features the most engaging and well-rounded characters he’s presented in quite some time. Sunset Park features Miles Heller,…

    This graphic novel, released by :01 and created by Jen Wang, is something of an enigma for me.  On one hand, the story has been done, the characters aren’t very likable, and there isn’t really much in the way of plot, particularly climax.  However, the art is so fetching that I can ignore the previous…

    Dr. Jane Thomas kindly posted this review of my novel, Andropia.  It reads as follows: “Andropia, Scott William Foley’s intriguing novel reminiscent of utopian and distopian fiction, presents a number of big questions. What does it mean to be alive? What constitutes humanity? Should we question authority, and if so, why? What is our purpose…

    My latest book, Andropia, is now live and available for purchase.  I like to think of it as philosophical science fiction, heavily influenced by the world events of the last five years as well as classic works of literature such as Brave New World, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451. Andropia is the world’s last city, a…
