The Moneypenny Diaries

When Weinberg's agent, Gillon Aitken, was appointed the literary adviser to Ian Fleming Publications, she and Aitken pitched their idea for a series of James Bond novels centred on the character of Miss Moneypenny, M's personal secretary. The series, referred to as The Moneypenny Diaries, is a trilogy with three books and two short stories currently published under the alias of Moneypenny's editor, Kate Westbrook:

Weinberg is the first woman to write an official Bond novel.[2]

Weinberg is married to filmmaker Mark Fletcher.[1] She currently resides in Wiltshire, England, and has two children.[5]
