 There are mysteries at the friary, and Brother Jerome does his bit to solve them.... Amid a plethora of reading material that shows man brutally subjugating matter, churning titanic waves in the environment, solving absurdly clever puzzles, and moving mountains to make love ring true, who would have thought such a seraphically smug cat could represent such basic, intelligent change in the interests of spiritual consummation? Robina Williams has tackled the oldest and most troubling question known to thinking and spiritually concerned humans. JEROME AND THE SERAPH is a charming and deceptively simple story, filled with delightful puns and serenely sly humor. It is a book to cherish. Reviewed by Pat H. Fredeman, author of Paradise Regained
Amazon reviewer Harriet Klausner gave Jerome and the Seraph a top rating of 10/10 http://www.reviewcentre.com/review127748.html |
 Angelos, reviewed by award winning author Tricia McGill
"...this story is full of heart. If you enjoyed Robina Williams's first book you will enjoy this sequel even more-as I did. Angelos is filled with humor and wisdom."

The Minotaur is a quiet home-loving creature. So he's not too happy when a falling rock in the lower reaches of his labyrinth bounces off his head, giving him a splitting headache and flinging him through time and space. He's relieved to find his horns haven't been broken, but where in Zeus's name has he landed up? Brother Jerome, pottering around in the friary shed, is suddenly hurled through red-hot air into a maze of corridors, all of which seem to lead him to a room containing human bones. Where is he now? Terrified, and desperate to be rescued before he's eaten by a monster, he yells for Quant. When the quantum cat turns up, he's short-tempered with Jerome, telling him there's no monster, and anyway what does he mean by 'now'? Time, as he shows the friar, is a somewhat fluid concept. Meantime, the friary's new Guardian, Aidan, is also journeying-through his dark night of the soul, and wondering if he will ever see the light again. ANGELOS, the sequel to the fabulous JEROME AND THE SERAPH, is a delightful fantasy that uses humor to tell a deep philosophical tale… Robina Williams provides a terrific tale that the audience will cherish.

Both Jerome and the Seraph and Angelos are currently available from Amazon.com; Amazon.ca; Bamm.com; Barnes & Noble; and your local bookstores.
I hope you'll visit the rest of the pages on my website, to read about the book and its sequelAngelos, and also to read my article "Paintings as Inspiration." Paintings feature in the plots of my stories. In Jerome and the Seraph, a sighting of Spencer Stanhope's Thoughts of the Past causes the Father Guardian to fear that his sins are about to find him out.
In Angelos, Father Aidan, lost in a spiritual desert, finds that a scapegoat and an ibex and a ray of sunlight in a Pre-Raphaelite painting guide him back to the path he'd lost sight of and despaired of ever seeing again. And that path leads to one of the twentieth century's most striking images -- Dali's Christ of St John of the Cross.

“Gaea,” the third book in my Quantum Cat series, will be published in September 2009 by Twilight Times Books. It will be available from Barnes & Noble:
Gaea, the earth goddess, fed up with the damage Man is doing, decides to teach him a lesson. She ropes in her relatives to help her… and three-headed Cerberus, the hell hound, tags along too. Quant, golden-eyed seraph and quantum cat, is there to keep an eye on them all.
I hope you'll enjoy my books.
