Simon Cole

Therapist, lover of music, lover of mountains, Simon has written professional books and blogs for years, but now has moved to literature of a different kind with his WHITE CAT TRILOGY and a first collection of short stories – CERTAINTY AND OTHER ILLUSIONS.

In the genre of fiction and semi-fiction, The White Cat Books – not really about white cats of course! – draw on the real lives of some forebears, travels in body and spirit, and his commitment to non-dualism. All three, with the unpredictable outcomes of their vivid action, are underpinned by the southern African tradition of Ubuntu, embodied by each of the enigmatic Nobomi women who roam their pages.

"Certainty and Other Illusions" – short stories of a different kind – casts sideways glances towards individual human experience, which one review contributor to the Times Literary Supplement remarked "... reminds us that doubt can be its own form of wisdom, and, perhaps, a deeper kind of clarity".

Then, the books in The Healing Locker… "Pathways", "Stillness in Mind", "The Guide to Musicking Mindfulness", and more… a library of ideas for living, in a collection which is maybe challenging, sometimes disturbing, but always empathic, and always human... writings for the discerning reader.
