About Simon Stephenson

I am from Edinburgh in Scotland, but live now in Los Angeles. 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 latest book, ‘The Snowman Code,’ was published in 2024.

I have written three other books. My medical thriller, ‘Sometimes People Die,’ was published in 2022. It was selected as an Editor’s Pick by The New York Times.

‘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 am going to be dining out on that for the rest of my life.

‘Let Not the Waves Of the Sea’, my memoir about losing my brother, came out in 2012. It won Best First Book at the Scottish Book Awards, and was serialized on BBC Radio 4.

I’ve worked as a writer on various films including Pixar’s LUCA, PADDINGTON 2, and my own THE ELECTRICAL LIFE OF LOUIS WAIN.
