The first stories Isabelle Merlin remembers are the traditional French fairytales told to her by her French grandmother. Later, she heard family stories, which proved to her that magic and romance and terror don't only appear in fairytales: like the romantic story of the beautiful ancestor who caught the eye of the Sun-King, Louis XIV; or the amazing story of the wily ancestor who went from being a poor peasant to a multi-millionaire; or the tragic story of the curse of madness and misfortune that pursued other ancestors; or the spooky story of the chain-rattling ghost that haunted the family home deep in the green countryside of France. It's no wonder that she grew up with a head full of stories and a burning desire to become a writer.

Suzy Thank you for adding me!


Rosemary Isabelle, your book sounds lovely. I'll recommend it to my friend with a very romantic teen daughter. Three is such a magical number--one reason I decided to have three children. And your name is one of my favorites--I named the heroine of my first novel Isabelle.

Happy reading and writing!
