The Foreboding

Destination drawn unceremoniously from a hat, quiet, bookish Shiloh leaves her cliché life and all the expectations that went with it without any intention of looking back. Upon arrival in her new city, a dark past lurks in her musty apartment and invades her subconscious. She is quickly enveloped into an unbelievable plot that turns her assumptions about the world upside down. When personal tragedy and evil unmask a long-standing plot for power and dominance, Shiloh is forced to confront the unharnessed potential of the human mind and the interconnectedness of the world she worked so hard to learn about in school. Through the painful introspection of early adulthood and eye-opening discovery of scientific truths beyond her wildest dreams, Shiloh must learn to trust her own instincts and an unlikely group of comrades to fight the power of obsession and control threatening to obliterate all she holds most dear.

Inspired by her grandfather, M.J. Foley's passion for reading and writing is something she has continued to carry from childhood through her personal and professional journey. She earned her bachelor's degree in Cognitive Science and Science Writing from Lehigh University. She then completed her master's degree in Engineering and has been a leader in the healthcare industry for a number of years. Her time working in an emergency department during the pandemic inspired the rediscovery of her favorite creative outlet and lifelong dream of publishing a novel. Foley earned multiple writing prizes throughout her academic career, and her debut novel, The Foreboding, leverages her ability to masterfully translate technical content into a work of fiction. She currently resides in Colorado with her husband, Sean, and their beloved dog and cat.
