As an author and paranormalist, I weave words into wider realities. I explore the missing half of self. The emotional and spiritual parts of our being that connect us to ourselves, to each other, and to the Divine, however we imagine that to be. That entails all manner of topics that are usually labeled paranormal only because our definition of normal is far too limited. Step into a far larger multiverse!
I am also a storyhealer and former business journalist who knew at age 12 that I wanted to write a novel. I spent decades researching arcane, paranormal subjects. This ignited a passion for alternative spirituality, leading me to become a Sunan storyhealer. M -

Nelson K. Foley is in fact my real name, but among family, friends and acquaintances I am better known as Keith Foley.
