He tries to escape, but Cybelle finds him. Reluctantly accepting her proposal, he ends up at Sleepy Hollow on a trial basis, among sorcerers and witches, and where High and Low Magick, and not just "magic" are practiced.There, trying to fit in, he makes friends with Jacob and Cassandra, only to discover he is very "different," has strange powers, such as making lightning balls that are just too big, dangerously so. And to be different in a place where time bends, cats talk, salamanders and bats act as spies, trees are entrances to subways, and some witches can't cast a permanent spell, is no small thing And what is it with those bats that keep flying about him? What do they want? Why do sinister forces seem to be gathering against him? Who are his parents and are they still alive? And what of the Nemesis and the Great Fall, not to mention the mythical Omni Sorcerer?There are so many questions for Simon to answer, including what lies hidden in the Dark Tower. For an exciting read, check out Simon Simple & The Dark Tower, the first of the thrilling Simon Simple series.
2014 was a spectacular year for playwright Simon Stephens, who has been described by the Independent as 'a brilliant writer of immense imagination' and by the Financial Times as having 'emerged in this millennium as an outstanding playwright'.2014 was a year for Simon Stephens which featured a high number of world premiere plays including one for the theatre of his birthplace, Manchester's Royal Exchange, a major new play for the Downstairs space at London's Royal Court, and a Chekhov translation for London's Young Vic; a transfer of his West End hit The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time to Broadway; and projects in Germany, a country which has seen Stephens lauded, in which he has worked extensively, and which has shaped much of his dramaturgy. In addition to these major projects, Stephens continued his role as a mentor of young writers, actors and directors, and continued to be one of the most frequent, outspoken and fiercely intelligent voices of the playwriting scene. In an exceptionally honest account, Simon Stephens opens up to us, through daily diary entries, his working practices, his inner-most thoughts, his philosophy on theatre, the arts and politics, and his feelings and reactions to specific projects he has worked on. Through this, we are given unprecedented access to the mind of one of the most important playwrights of the twenty-first century.

Simon Keith is not only one of the longest-living heart transplant recipients, he is also the first to have ever played professional sports after a transplant. This is his remarkable story. It is the story of one of the most talented young soccer players in North America, on his way to playing for his country in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Unfortunately, Simon never made that trip. He was diagnosed with a fatal heart disease and given only a few weeks to live. Then something extraordinary happened. Perilously close to death, Simon received the gift of a heart donation. Simon was given a second chance, from the most ironic of donors. Following his heart transplant, not only did Simon return to play professional soccer becoming one of the best players in North America for the second time, he went on to live the life he always dreamed of having. He has lived a rich and glorious life, from professional and personal success, to the joys of family and fatherhood. More than 25 years after receiving his new heart, Keith reflected on all he gained and decided to seek out the Fields family in an effort to learn more about their son James who died tragically and whose heart still beats within Simon's chest. And to thank them for all he received. Keith's story is more than simply about the process of getting a transplant. It's about the will to survive and the lessons learned from friends and family along the way. It's about never giving up on a dream and persevering through what some people feel can be overwhelming. The journey ended at the gravesite of James Fields with Keith and James' father Robert staring at the headstone, reflecting upon the tragedy that allowed Simon to survive. The incredible coincidences in the lives of James and Simon are simply too much for this to be just a story about overcoming the odds. It is a story that will have you believing in so much more. Their joyous reunion is enough to warm even the hardest soul, and enrich the lives of all who read this incredible, almost unbelievable, true story. "I have spent my professional career playing against some of the greatest athletes in the world. Each train hard, have a burning desire for their sport and have inevitably overcome some kind of adversity. I have never met an athlete who overcame Simon's circumstances. To say the odds of playing soccer again were overwhelming doesn't even begin to explain what he did." -Steve Nash, two time NBA MVP
