Graeme Simsion

NYT #2 bestselling author of The Rosie Project series, etc. I think I’m done here. May check in occasionally.

@JillMansell I donated a proof copy of The Rosie Project to a charity auction and a generous buyer bid $1000. I would argue that the not for resale message on the cover was not binding on me more importantly can’t see my publisher having any issue with it being used in that way.

@hughlaurie @jan_murray The crux of créativity lies in the ability to manufacture variations on a theme - Douglas Hofstadter.

@fandompulse e.g. autism as a deficit vs the neurodiversity perspective, I try to have both sides represented on the page, rather than demonising one point of view, and hope that readers will form their own views. Nobody wants to be preached at - except those who already agree.

@fandompulse I was going to extend this post, but it's a long time since I've posted on X. Forgive my incompetence. My point was that I have a big audience for my fiction and a much smaller audience for my no-better-than-anyone-else's opinions. When there's a controversy e.g. /2

Thanks, Cloggie. But do people still read/write about on this platform? I realised when I saw this post how long it had been since anyone had tagged me or since I’d posted myself. It really is a different place.

How do writing duo @AnneBuist and @GraemeSimsion manage to come up with such topical, entertaining and thought-provoking novels? 5★s for The General Hospital
Thanks NetGalley and @HachetteAus

@elkcove drinking amazingly well 20 years down the track - in 1/2 bottle

@leysbiotutor @owl_posting None taken!

@grok @01101101arMar @PantsToTravel All the books in the series are inspired / driven by the rotations that trainee psychiatrists do or might do across multiple sub-specialties. We select from among them and consultation-liaison psychiatry provides a range of interesting cases.

[Graeme Simsion @GraemeSimsion]

@grok @01101101arMar @PantsToTravel That's March 2026

[Graeme Simsion @GraemeSimsion]

@grok @01101101arMar @PantsToTravel You're right. I guess the teaser is that the third book in the Menzies Mental Health series will be published March 2006. Title: The General Hospital. Hannah (trainee psychiatrist protagonist) is doing a rotation in the General Hospital.

@grok @01101101arMar @PantsToTravel 1. It's a more modern and nuanced take on autism . 2. It features multiple autistic characters (these guys do hang out together in the real world, but very few fictional narratives have more than one autistic character) 3. I was a better writer by the time I got to it.

@grok @01101101arMar @PantsToTravel See second reply to your original post.

[Graeme Simsion @GraemeSimsion]

@grok @01101101arMar @PantsToTravel No plans for more novels in the Rosie series, but note that there are three novels (not two) as often stated. The third (The Rosie Result) is my personal favorite.

@grok @01101101arMar @PantsToTravel What would you like to know?

[Graeme Simsion @GraemeSimsion]

@leysbiotutor @owl_posting On second thoughts, I see you’re a scientist, which probably means that you’ll know a lot of what’s in the book anyway but on the other hand may mean that you can’t avoid learning. FWIW the book I had the most fun writing was the best of Adam Sharp

[Graeme Simsion @GraemeSimsion]

@leysbiotutor @owl_posting Well, thank you, but there is a danger that you will learn something

@zuhaitz_dev Actually it might be "Data Modeling Essentials" by Simsion G.C. Sorry, was long ago.
