About the author
Sahara Foley
20 books166 followersBorn and raised in Omaha Ne. I met the love of my life here and we were together for 30 years before he passed on 12-25-12. The stories that I'm publishing are his brain children. He loved writing, but never had any luck getting his stories published back in the late 1980's and early 1990's.
So now, with the advent of self-publishing and him glaring over my shoulder, I'm finally able to bring his children to life for the world of readers. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. He had a wonderful but dark imagination. So much of himself and me are in these characters.

Arthur, The Doctor, And The Alien
The well woven plot keeps my attention throughout the book. The twists and turns thwart my attempts to discern what comes next. Arthur is a complex compelling character with supernatural powers. He follows an unexplained pull to England. As usual the government tries to control and use him. As usual they can't control someone so powerful. However, he agrees to rescue hostages from terrorists. I like the action, humor,and romance. I look forward to the next book.

An absolute delight from start to finish! The characters were so real and relatable that I found myself cheering for them. The plot was clever and kept me turning the pages late into the night. This is storytelling at its finest. I’m already looking forward to reading more from this author.

October 6, 2018BOOK REVIEW OF SAHARA FOLEY'S
SECRET OF EXCALIBER. book one in a series.
I learned of this book they Norms Triad Publishing and I am so pleased it happen to wings it's way to me. From the first page I was intrigued as I was born with gifts off the normal humans understanding and therefore I could really relate to Arthur and his calling. All gifts come with higher callings as humanity needs them so bad. However, those without gifts want to be able to call upon ones gifts on demand, possess them, or kill them.
As I read further and got caught up in the story, I became more intrigued. You see, my husband and I raised our two sons by the Knights code from King Arther's court. We have studied the subject.
What to my delight but comes a totally new take on the same old story. Not that I don't like the original, but Sahara Folly has done what no one else has. She has created a whole new story line for those of us who want to become more.
BRAVO, BRAVO SARAHA! I can't wait to read book two of the series.
I recommend this book to all Adults who are open minded enough to be adults. Tastefully done Sahara, keep up your excellent skills! Thank you for your sacrifice of time in writing. I would love a signed copy.

An Exciting and Adventurous Read!
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but it definitely exceeded my hopes! The story was interesting and kept driving forward. The tale was intelligent and fascinating, putting a new spin on an old legend. I applaud the author - well done!
I was constantly surprised by the intriguing storyline. At first, I didn't much care for the arrogant Arthur Merlin, but by the end, I adored him. I thought Ruth and Daisy were admirable equals to Arthur and I liked the characters very much. I found I wanted to know more about them and I hope there's a sequel in the works!
I definitely recommend this novel to all readers. There are moments of steamy romance and hilarious banter mixed with a spectrum of emotions, action, mystery, and suspense. The author did a beautiful job of blending old lore with modern concepts that opened a universe of possibilities! I loved it!

January 16, 2022Arthur, the main character, is the first-person viewpoint, and basically his story. I took an instant dislike to him. Arrogant? Extremely. He was so full of himself; it was easy to dislike him. Not the usual reaction to start a book.
However, once we move into Arthur’s head, things changed. I began to understand why he was that way, and of course, the arrogance didn’t through as the story was told by him. Slowly I warmed to him, and soon he became the main character you fall in love with. Huh? – How did that happen?
Apart from Arthur being telepathic, and having a few other quirky powers, the story was a modern day. Not something I wasn’t expecting. Partway through, I remembered the book cover and the title and wondered where the sword came into it. Indeed, where was the science fiction side of the story? At one point I thought we would travel in time, but it didn’t. It really did keep me guessing.
The genre for the book doesn’t say mystery, but there was a mystery and it was this that made it so intriguing. What unfolded was a brilliant storyline. I have never read anything like it as my jaw dropped, devouring every word of this extraordinary journey to get to the truth.
The plot is ingenious, I can honestly say I have never read anything like it before. My imagination was well and truly captured. Then, just when you think the mystery is solved, the story switches back to the third person's point of view finishes in a way I didn’t expect. Yet another twist that tied up the ends, leaving one satisfied reader here.
