Hello, good readers!

I am from Edinburgh in Scotland, but now reside in Los Angeles, California. I have had stopovers along the way in London and San Francisco. I’m a writer and screenwriter, and before I became a full-time writer I was a physician.

My new novel, ‘Sometimes People Die’ will be published in September 2022. It's a literary thriller set in a hospital in east London around the turn of the millenium.

I have written two other books. ‘Set My Heart To Five’ came out in 2020. The Washington Post review said that I might be ‘Vonnegut’s first true protege’. You’d better believe I have been dining out on that ever since, and will be for the rest of my days.

‘Let Not the Waves Of the Sea’, my memoir about losing my brother came out in 2012 ...more

Quotes by Simon Stephenson (?)

“Perhaps Elon Musk had even been on to something when he ‘accidentally’ incinerated the moon!”
― Simon Stephenson, Set My Heart to Five

“our collective war against disease is one of attrition, and suicide is an occupational hazard for us all. How could it not be, when we take an unusually conscientious and empathic group of people, blur their boundaries between life and death daily, then work them to exhaustion in a culture so binary it can admit only complete success or abject failure? Sometimes, the strangest part to me is simply that more of us don’t meet this same sad end.”
― Simon Stephenson, Sometimes People Die
