Tom Evans is 21st century Renaissance man. He has been described as being something between a polymath and a jack of all trades and master of none.
Throughout his career he has been a serial entrepreneur always working at the leading edge of technology. He has been living and breathing Light Bulb Moments since he was a child.
When not writing his own books, he mentors other authors and creatives on how to banish writer’s block and tap into their Creative Muse. He also acts as a catalyst, visionary and a seer [see-er] for businesses looking for new ideas and strategies.
As a boy, he was fascinated by the magic of TV and radio and used to take them apart to find out how they worked. Sometimes, to his parents’ chagrin, he had a few bits left over.
After taking a degree in Electronics, he embarked on a career as a broadcast engineer with the BBC. By the time he was 25, he was working with Sony Broadcast and recognized as one of Europe’s leading experts on camera and imaging technology.
By the time he was 30, he had his own company manufacturing innovative widgets to broadcasters worldwide. He’d also received two Royal Television Society awards for his inventions and had several patents to his name.
In the 1990’s, when the Internet came along, Tom built a new business providing innovative ecommerce and epublishing solutions for dot.com startups and established corporates.
Like many authors, he ended up being one sort of by accident.
Like many people in his mid-forties, he paused for breath, took a holiday after giving up a perfectly good job without another one to go to. On holiday, he wrote some poetry, made it into an ebook and to his surprise people started downloading it -and paying for it. He had become an unexpected author.
A year later, the 100 Years of Ermintrude became a trilogy of interlocking stories and ended up in print. Somewhere along the way the downloads also raised loads of money for Walk the Walk breast cancer charity and Tom ended up walking round London in a bra for 26 miles. Now that same book has just been published as an iPhone app. As an irrepressible technophile, Tom has also developed many iPhone and iPad applications.
The process of writing of this book by accident fascinated Tom and he started to research the true nature of thought, where ideas actually come from and what stops them in their tracks.
He has become a student of both the esoteric and exoteric and switched his personal research direction from technology to the magic of the human mind.
He has now trained as a hypnotherapist and specializes in past life regression and future life progression techniques. He is able to see all possible futures and helps clients manifest the ideal one for them.
He is also a Master Trainer for Tony Buzan’s Mind Mapping software and teaches both Whole Brain and Whole Mind Thinking.
He started working with other authors on a one-to-one basis three years ago and he has helped many authors get in print. He has also delivered many creative writing and ideas generation workshops.
His second book, simply called Blocks, shows the enlightened way to clear writer’s block and how to connect with unlimited creativity. Removing blocks of course is a natural precursor to having unlimited light bulb moments on demand.
Since writing this book, Tom has just written a companion book called Flavours of Thought: Recipes for Fresh Thinking which expands on the ideas in chapter 9 of this book. It is available both in print and the Kindle Reader.
His next writing projects are to finally deliver the novel he started four years ago. You can download a free sample for the iPhone - just search for Soulwave in the App Store.
He is also working a further exploration into the true nature of thought and the neo-consciousness mentioned in this book.
