More about Isabelle: Isabelle Olmo was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she lived until moving to Florida at the age of 12. Being raised on a steady diet of 1980s fantasy films and Sweet Valley High, she naturally became a gifted storyteller herself.. She graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in English Literature and is an adult fantasy author whose stories are female-focused and fantastic.  When she’s not writing she loves to cook, drink wine, and travel, which you can enjoy via her instagram account.  One day she hopes to live in Barcelona, her favorite city in the world. Her debut novel is Queen and Conqueror and the sequel, “Lady of Istok”, was just released in June 2023.  Listen in as we chat more about Isabelle’s books “Queen & Conquerer” and “Lady of Istok”, what she's currently reading, and her nerdiest thing of the week.
