Growing up, Isabel Bandeira split her time between summers surrounded by cathedrals, castles, and ancient tombs in Portugal and the rest of the year hanging around the lakes and trees of Southern New Jersey, which only fed her fairy-tale and nature obsessions. In her day job, she's a Mechanical Engineer and tones down her love of all things glittery while designing medical devices, but it all comes out in her writing. The rest of the time, you'll find her reading, at the dance studio, or working on her jumps and spins at the ice rink. Isabel is the author of the Ever After series, including Bookishly Ever After, Dramatically Ever After, and the soon to be released Practically Ever After.
Isabel lives in South Jersey with her little black cat, too much yarn, and a closetful of vintage hats.
