Scott William Foley

Who I'd like to meet:

Souls Triumphant: A Novel - Drawing heavily from Christian theology and John Milton’s Paradise Lost, Souls Triumphant is the story of Joe and Alessandra, two recent college graduates who meet on the street and fall in love at first sight. However, when they discover they are reincarnated servants of the Kingdom and that the mutinous Ned and his faction of monstrous demons want Joe dead and Alessandra to bear Ned’s child, an adventure ensues in which the very fate of the planet and the heavens hang in the balance. It is a story of action, intrigue, romance, fantasy, and faith.

“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

“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 ... 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.”

The Imagination’s Provocation: Volume I - Enter worlds where the only limitation is the imagination. Worlds where an old woman is left a fallen soldier’s medals of distinction for reasons she doesn’t understand; worlds where a cold-blooded killer vows to return from the dead and finish what he started; worlds where proposing to a girlfriend becomes a comedy of errors; worlds where a boy pays dearly for taking a dare to stay the night in a house no one would risk entering; worlds where a stranger’s random phone call renews faith. Enter these worlds, and prepare to let the imagination soar!

William Foley has a gift when it comes to writing short stories ... "

The Imagination’s Provocation: Volume II - Although immensely different in genre, tone, and setting, Foley’s stories deal with that which we all have in common - our humanity. He brings us stories of love, regret, loss, hope, fear, and redemption. From the vastness of space to a lonely church pew, Foley’s tales will provoke your imagination in ways inconceivable! This is an eclectic collection of short stories dealing with horror, fantasy, faith, science fiction, realism, and everything in between.

“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
