Fruit Baskets


It is a short story collection she gathered under the influence of Hemingway, Carver, Cather, Faulkner, and various other authors. It comprises of short stories that could happen anytime and anyplace in the world, almost.



Birdy’s Flight


It is a full length novel she wrote under the influence of, the notorious by now, Bridget Jones. Isabelle immediately took a liking to the lovable yet flawed heroine of chick lit. She wanted to create a new memorable addition to the genre.


Diary of a Crazed Home Economist


It is a full length novel that needs a lot of work. The title says it all. The protagonist is a short-fused housewife and a caring and involved mother. While she’s tittering on the verge of a nervous breakdown, because she’s not being mentally challenged, she’s also affected by ennui.


Estrogen Epidemic


On the verge of forty, Dre Cooper dumps her cheating boyfriend and reunites with the great love of her life ... until an unexpected situation throws her for a loop. Chick lit that leans slightly towards the more dramatic end of the spectrum. To be sure, it does contain a number of comedic moments, but overall this is a story characterized by one woman's fairly serious relationship turmoil, rather than by witty comic banter. And given the age of our heroine (pushing 40), this is a story that's aimed at a somewhat more sophisticated SEX AND THE CITY crowd.



The View from the Top of the Hill


More crazy girls about to graduate into their forties. Cindy, is the down to earth homemaker and she’s finally ready to date...after over a decade. Fiona is the career woman; the nymphomaniac wanna-be-gay friend. Finally, Sophia, is the moody, dark, professional longing for children of her own. It’s a strange mix of besties that will keep the reader leafing through carried by those women’s contagious sheer energy, mishaps, successes, and resolutions.
