Graeme Simsion

On the cusp of fifty and a happy introvert, Adam is content. He's the music expert at his local pub-quiz and he and his partner Claire rumble along. Life may not be rock n' roll, but neither is it easy listening. Yet something has always felt off-key.And that's his nostalgia for what might have been, his blazing affair - more than twenty years ago, on the other side of the world - with Angelina Brown, a smart and sexy, strong-willed actress who taught him for the first time, as he played piano and she sang, what it meant to find - and then lose - love. How different might his life be if he hadn't let her walk away?Then, out of nowhere, Angelina gets in touch. Adam has sung about second chances, but does he have the courage to believe in them?

This book is about another approach, based on established theories of creativity and design - and on the experience of authors who have adopted a more structured and reliable process. It could have been called What They Don t Teach You in Writing School because, rather than focusing on prose, it covers the entire writing process, from premise to proofreading, as a step-by-step project. Instead of waiting for the blood, you'll approach each day with clarity and purpose, progressing steadily toward the best book you re capable of. Easy to follow, practical and highly entertaining, The Novel Project is a masterclass from an author who started his writing career at fifty and whose novels have sold millions of copies around the world.

A thirty-nine-year-old geneticist, Dons never had a second date. So he devises the Wife Project, a scientific test to find the perfect partner. Enter Rosie - the worlds most incompatible woman - throwing Dons safe, ordered life into chaos. But what is this unsettling, alien emotion hes feeling?

Don Tillman is a socially challenged genetics professor who's decided the time has come to find a wife. His questionnaire is intended to weed out anyone who's unsuitable. The trouble is, Don has rather high standards and doesn't really do flexible so, despite lots of takers, he's not having much success in identifying The One. When Rosie Jarman comes to his office, Don assumes it's to apply for the Wife Project - and duly discounts her on the grounds she smokes, drinks, doesn't eat meat, and is incapable of punctuality. However, Rosie has no interest in becoming Mrs Tillman and is actually there to enlist Don's assistance in a professional capacity: to help her find her biological father. Sometimes, though, you don't find love: love finds you...

La segunda novela del autor bestseller internacional Graeme Simsion que narra las nuevas aventuras de Don Tillman y Rosie, protagonistas de El proyecto esposa. En su hilarante bestseller El Proyecto Esposa -que ya suma mas de un millon de ejemplares vendidos en todo el mundo- Graeme Simsion dio vida a un personaje dificil de olvidar: Don Tillman, un profesor de Genetica australiano tan inteligente como inepto para el trato social. Su disparatado proyecto de encontrar pareja aplicando un metodo cientifico concluia milagrosamente en boda con la vivaracha y algo caotica Rosie Jarman, estudiante de Psiquiatria y la mujer que menos se ajustaba a su modelo de candidata ideal. Ahora, diez meses y diez dias despues de casarse, encontramos a Don y Rosie en Nueva York, desafiando, una vez mas, todas las incompatibilidades imaginables. El enseña y ella estudia en la Universidad de Columbia, y, por las noches, uno prepara y otra sirve cocteles en el mismo restaurante. Todo parece ir viento en popa hasta que Rosie le comunica que... esta embarazada. Para alguien como Don, cuyo equilibrio vital se basa en la planificacion, el bebe ya es un reto mayusculo, pero, por desgracia, las sorpresas se multiplican: Gene, su mejor amigo y un mujeriego incorregibl
