About Me


My nom de plume is Isabel Moon, but you can call me Izzy. I like tree houses, lighthouses, firehouses, opera houses, playhouses, Victorian houses, haunted houses, birdhouses, fun houses, and just about any house that's interesting or unusual. I also like hats and enjoy wearing many of them. More about me later. Right now, I must be off to write love letters to literary agents. : )

By the way, my test of a good children's book is whether or not I can imagine Boris Karloff reading it aloud. And, indeed, I can hear the great actor's charming, impeccable and mellifluous delivery of the verses of "Messy Bea."

This profile will manifest fully very soon!

Hats, houses, budgies, lockets, vintage timepieces, tea and chocolate.
