    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…

    Jude Landry is someone who will be revered one day as an artist … mark my words.  Originally a friend of a friend, I asked Jude almost two years ago if he’d design the cover for a book that I planned to release.  Because I  loved his previous work, I knew Jude would come up…

    I’m ecstatic to announce that my latest book, Andropia, is due to arrive in just a few short weeks! Andropia is the world’s last city, a utopia for its citizens known as Andropians.  They exist to please the Maker, he who created them in his floating Citadel.  Andropians cheerfully question nothing as they go about…

    In a recent interview, Michael Chabon recommended reading Kelly Link.  His suggestion was good enough for me, and so I quickly got a copy of the short story collection Pretty Monsters from my local library. I think the first thing I need to note is that Pretty Monsters is a young adult novel.  Meaning that,…

    Though The Road opened around Thanksgiving, it just came to my town a few days before Christmas.  This, along with the multiple delays and reshoots, gave me great concern that the movie would not live up to the source material. My fears were unfounded. Absolutely bleak and morose, the film perfectly captured the essence of…

  • The Affinity Bridge by George Mann – A Book Review

    George Mann has written an original novel utilizing two dynamic characters while blending science fiction, horror, and fantasy genres in Victorian England.  But, even as these elements add up to a highly entertaining work, it is not without faults. The Affinity Bridge features Sir Maurice Newbury, an agent of Queen Victoria, and his newly hired…

    I suppose I should get his out of the way: I’m not a Kirk and Spock Star Trek guy.  I enjoyed The Next Generation when in high school, but other than that, I wouldn’t call myself a fan.  I certainly never thought much of the previous films. So with all that being said, J.J. Abrams’…
