Simon Stephenson, author of "Sometimes People Die"

<p>BIO: 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 new novel, ‘Sometimes People Die’ will be published in September 2022. 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 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. Like every other screenwriter in Hollywood, I have a bottom drawer full of unproduced scripts and forgotten promises. So it goes. https://www.simonstephenson.com/ https://www.kimtaylorblakemore.com Kim writes historical novels that feature fierce, audacious, and often dangerous women.

And VOX VOMITUS has been going “horribly wrong”
