Product Description

Product Description

Following an unfortunate accident in the friary cemetery, Brother Jerome is pitched unexpectedly into the afterworld. When he meets up with his pet cat, Leo, he assumes that the cat, too, is dead. But Leo's real name is Quant and he's a very special cat.

With the quantum cat by his side, Jerome sets out to explore the new world he finds himself in--though it seems to be, rather, an old world when he hears Pan's ethereal music and has to step aside as a couple of centaurs gallop past. Have his years as a Christian friar been a dreadful mistake? But the cat reminds him that Christ said there were many mansions in His Father's house: the Lord is Lord of all pantheons, God of gods.

Back at the friary, the Guardian, Father Fidelis, fears that his past has finally caught up with him. Who can help him?

-- "...entertaining book that ironically connects complex topics (the afterlife, mythology, and quantum physics) into a wonderful fantasy that hooks readers from the moment Al and Jerry exchange a few words. -- The Midwest Book Review

About the Author

Robina Williams has an M.A. in Modern Languages from Oxford University, and an M.Phil. in English Literature from Liverpool University. It occurred to her that Schrödinger's dead-and-alive Cat would make an interesting character for fantasy novels. "Jerome and the Seraph" was published in 2004 and "Angelos" in 2006. "Gaea" is the third book in her Quantum Cat series.

Good Idea 29 Mar 2011
By Bob TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This starts so well with a friar being killed in an accident and then reaches the afterlife, the idea is good and would work well if there was a plot that lead anywhere, unfortunately after this very little happens, it is a well written story with the characters and locations being well described but the story could almost be the day by day story of dead and alive friars and a cat that that can talk to the dead. The other thing that I do not like is that this seems to be a serial, I don't mind series where books can be read as a standalone but this one just stops and probably continues in the next of the books. I will read the next one but only if it is a free download.

Jerome and the Seraph
AUTHOR: robina williams
Brother Jerome slips in the graveyard, hitting his head with a thud. Later he finds himself in a rather strange place accompanied by a dear old friend that he knows is deceased. The situation is most abstruse as there are no cherubs, no angels, no fluffy clouds- none of his expectations of beyond; he soon accedes to his irreversible situation. His greatest surprise is the arrival of his beloved cat, Leo in the afterworld. Leo, who we learn is actually Quant, the cat/lion alter ego, it seems, can travel at will between the two worlds being both alive and dead.
Jerome's ingrained beliefs are challenged, as he learns the answers to life long spiritual questions. He comes face to face with the hound of Heaven as the trill of Pan's flute fills the air.
Brother Jerome and his cohorts, both living and dead are most enchanting characters. Full of human frailties and believable character flaws, they charm the reader with their humorous encounters and escapades.
The author makes reference to several nineteenth century paintings including St. Jerome in the Wilderness, adding a touch of refinement and artistic interest to the book. Amusing, entertaining and charming, Robina Williams has a winner with her bumbling friar and his amazing ginger.
The author lives in north- west England and has an M.A in Modern Languages. This book is the first in the Quantum cat series; she has finished her second book Angelos and is working on the third.

Highly recommended, this reviewer looks forward to the next book in the series. Shirley Roe, Allbooks Reviews.

The concept has everything going for it, but it is wasted in here. The book spends far too long exploring the possibilities of the scenario that such niceties as a plot have been completely forgotten.
It's a mildly entertaining exposition on a 'what-if' nature of life and death theme, woven around some obscure references to paintings and some tediously over-long discourses on theology; but there is absolutely no storyline to engage your interest or make you care about the characters. The cat was the most interesting character in it.
A complete waste of time.

There was something about cats. Maybe it was the cool way they looked at you, as if weighing you up, appraising you, trying to decide whether you were worthy of them, worthy of their affection. You had to deserve cats. Sure, theyd take food from you when they were hungry  what animal wouldnt? But they wouldnt necessarily like you for having fed them. If they did like you, you had the feeling it was quite an honor for you. &quote;
