“Scott Foley is a hotspot in a generation of young authors intent on  looking at the world with fresh eyes. Yes, every generation claims its  share of shooting stars, but Foley brings with him the additional  weaponry of wisdom, along with his writing skills. Methinks this star  may be on the rise.”
~Ken Bradbury, author of homerville

“Andropia, Scott William Foley’s intriguing novel reminiscent of utopian and distopian fiction, presents a number of big questions … This slim book rivets attention from the first page, making it nearly impossible to put down until the last word is read … Although the novel and the stories can each stand alone, taken together, they extend the questions and provide a deep dive into the complexity of existence … Andropia is in some ways subversive, in many ways disturbing, and in all ways a thoroughly good read!”
~Dr. Jane Thomas,  University of Michigan

“I loved Andropia! I started reading it on the El train to work, and I rapidly got pulled into the story as it developed from chapter to chapter. It got to the point where I couldn’t wait to get on the train, so that I could read more of it! I like Foley’s technique of closing chapters with a cliffhanger, and I liked the short stories at the end too, which really added great background details to the main story. It was a very quick read, and it definitely made me think deeper as I was trying to figure out what was coming next.”
~Matthew P., data migration expert

“Andropia! I enjoyed this great read and was through it in a flash. Engaging and though-provoking, Andropia will transport you into it’s mysterious world and make you really wonder about our own world. Asking many questions and opening our minds to think in a new way, the books structure consists of the central story, then features short stories telling parts of the story from different perspectives. Pick this one up and you won’t be disappointed. Let’s hope there will be a sequel to follow.”
~Katie Hoffman, private chef and blogger

“In Souls Triumphant students find a novel they are able to understand, they can identify readily with the characters, and they are encouraged to exercise their imaginations.  All of these features yield students who want to discuss all aspects of the book and dig for its applications to their own lives.  ‘Theme’ suddenly becomes relevant to their own lives, not just an idea that represents thinking of another age and time, even though it may also be universal in nature.”
~Randal Reichert, Adjunct Instructor of English, LLCC

“I loved Scott’s interpretation of the juxtaposition of old and young, pop culture and religion, and parent and child. ‘A Christmas Confrontation’ is both humorous and heartfelt. As a children’s ministry director, I especially enjoyed the message that the Church can be a healing experience for all who enter it, because of (or in spite of) the approach to reach them. Great work!”
~Laura Freyman, Director of Children’s Ministry at St. John’s Lutheran Church-ELCA

“Souls Triumphant has something for everyone. Part love story, part fantasy adventure, and filled with action. Readers are thrust into the classic dilemma of good vs. evil. However, this is not the tradition tale that has been written many times. Foley has delivered a refreshing and entertaining read for all ages. Adults and teens will finally have something they agree on … this is a good book! … S. William Foley has penned a one of a kind novel, where the characters, while interacting within a fantasy world, could not be more real. Questions of spirituality, ethics and morals are presented through detailed plot lines that could easily be woven into the fabric of our daily lives. Foley has delivered a well constructed novel that combines interesting characters, intriguing dialogue and explosive moral conflicts. This rare mix, will undoubtedly place Foley on the favorites list of many readers.”
~RJ McGill, 3Rs-Real Reader Reviews

“I love this book of short stories [The Imagination’s Provocation: Volume I]. As a former high school English teacher I was always searching for material that would hold my students’ attention. These short stories did just that! We had great discussions over many of them and the students always were excited when I pulled out this book for the day’s lesson. S. William Foley has a gift when it comes to writing short stories, they have many of the same elements as a great novel without dragging the story on for 100s of pages. My students loved that we could finish a story and have a discussion/debate all in the same class period.”
~Heather Sommerville, educator

“[Souls Triumphant] grabbed my attention right from the first page. Only other book I ever read that did that was Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.”
~Rich Lapinski, author of The Wander Daze

“In Souls Triumphant, Foley propels the ever-present struggle between good and evil to the forefront of our world, urging us to choose sides while traveling with two evolving, very human characters. An exciting delight to read – the perfect vehicle to ponder your past or present road to spirituality.”
~Layne Moore, communication specialist

“Souls Triumphant is an interesting and mature tale about angels and demons. I found myself pleasantly surprised by Foley’s voice because he takes the whole mystical and spiritual aspect of Heaven and Hell and makes it his own. This is a very intellectually written book and it relies very heavily on dialogue rather than all action … S. William Foley has written a book that is not the normal pop culture fluff that is being written. Any fan who is into religion, spirituality and fantasy should pick this book up and lose themselves in the world of good and evil.”
~C. Garrabrant, book reviewer

“For readers, [Souls Triumphant] a contemporary fantasy full of adventure, humor, passion, and optimism that, despite its familiar ingredients, is surprisingly unpredictable … Souls Triumphant is a brisk (208 pages), competently written, and entertaining novel with a positive message that fans of Christian fiction will probably appreciate more, but may also appeal to readers looking for a little romance and magic…”
~Robert Thompson, Fantasy Book Critic

“In Foley’s first full-length novel we encounter the ultimate struggle between good and evil. Souls Triumphant introduces strong, well-defined characters, some evil incarnate, others venerable. The plot offers a love story in an epic tale with a fantasy backdrop; a page-turner(!) with a myriad of literary allusions. It appeals to teens and adults who enjoy reading fantasy, love stories and those who like literary allusions and heroic tales. A delightful read! Teachers and librarians will be pressing this title into the hands of teens!”
~Keran Johnson, high school librarian

“Scott Foley has written a wonderful readable adventure… I usually don’t select this type of book, but Scott asked me to read the first draft several years ago. I found that his writing style and storytelling ability held my attention through to the end. Pick up Souls Triumphant and let your imagination flow. You’ll be glad you did.”
~Marilyn Best, author

Scott William Foley is an amazing writer that knows how to draw in an audience and make them feel as though they are a part of the story.

“If you are into sci-fi, humor, fantasy, or any genre then this [The Imagination’s Provocation: Volume I] is the book for you. Fresh, witty and thought provoking. Pick it up and give it a try.”
~Vince Hummel, insurance

“Although I am not usually a fan of horror (having such a small threshold for anything scary), I like Foley’s stories [in The Imagination’s Provocation: Volume II], many of which contain at least an element of horror. My favorite story is “Ghost of the Bed and Breakfast.” It was the perfect mix of creepy and suspenseful … Other stories feature themes of faith (“Sitting Silently in the Back Pew”) and loss (“The Monitor”). All are equally enjoyable and promise to entertain readers.”
~Amy Pearce, librarian
