Isabella May lives in (mostly) sunny Andalusia, Spain with her husband, daughter and son, creatively inspired by the mountains and the sea. She grew up on Glastonbury's ley lines and loves to feature her quirky English hometown in her stories.

Same Books (another) New Look!

I think we are finally there, don’t you? Absolutely loving the rainbow colour pop of my gorgeous Foodie Romances. A huge thanks to my nameless (because she’s very busy writing her own mega successful books) designer.

I have been woefully bad at updating this website and vow to pop on here more often. For the time being, though, I just want to share that all of my foodie books are currently 99p/c on
