Jacob Sager Weinstein's work has appeared in The New Yorker and The Onion, and he has written for HBO and the BBC as well. He lives in London with his wife and children.

 

In 2005, during a walk along the Thames, he had the first stirrings of an idea that would eventually become HYACINTH AND THE SECRETS BENEATH. After more than a decade of writing and rewriting, the book will be published by Random House in 2017, and followed by two sequels. 

 

His first picture book is called LYRIC MCKERRIGAN, SECRET LIBRARIAN, and it will be published in 2018 by Clarion. It will be illustrated by Caldecott honoree Vera Brosgol.

 

Jacob has also spent time as stay-at-home dad, and he's proud to say that the one time he wasn't paying attention and the buggy got blown into the Regent's Park Duck Pond, neither of his children was in it. He hasn't yet received his Father of The Year Trophy for that achievement, but he's pretty sure it must have gotten lost in the mail.
