Jacob Carlisle lived in Ferguslie Park, the setting for his debut novel, Small Fish Big Fish, until he was fifteen. At twenty-one he enrolled to study full-time at Langside College, and from there to Glasgow University, graduating Bachelor of Science.
Jacob played guitar and sang with his friends and cousins around the folk club and pub scene in Scotland. He lived in Paisley until, at the age of twenty-six, he met and married Sue, who convinced him to return with her to Australia, a move he has never regretted.
In 2011, Jacob discovered a talent for writing fiction and has published a number of short stories as well as his novel, Small Fish Big Fish. A second novel is expected to be ready for publication by April, 2015 and a follow-up to Small Fish, Big Fish is in the pipeline.
Jacob lives with his wife, in Melbourne. They have two beautiful daughters, and two seriously cheeky grandchildren.
