The Rebel Candidate is OUT!

Hi all.

Finally, after more than three years in the making, the final book in the Shatterproof Bond series is out today, 31st March 2023. 'The Rebel Candidate' picks up from where we left Sam and Declan at the end of book 5 'Powder Burns'.

I hope that those who have been waiting for it enjoy the ride. And if you were waiting for the series to be completed before starting, dive on in!

The book is in Kindle Unlimited and if all goes to plan should be on Audible on 5th May 2023.

The German translation will be ready by the end of May, and the French translation begins in June. There are no plans to translate the final three books into Italian.

Thank you all so much for buying my books and supporting me on this journey.

Happy Reading

Christmas Release

Hi All,

I have a new Christmas novella out now!
It's titled "Ball Play". It's a cute enemies to lovers story with a Santa hating cat!



Ball Play

The story is available in English, German and as an audiobook, narrated by Gary Furlong. It's on Amazon, Audible, and ITunes.

I'm currently halfway through writing The Rebel Candidate (Shatterproof Bond #6) and I aim to have it finished by my birthday in March 2022.

I am also hoping between fantasy and historical stories as inspiration calls - so hopefully I'll be able to complete a couple of series soon.

Thanks for your support

NEW RELEASE!

Hello readers,

I do hope you are keeping safe and reading lots!

Just to let you know that I have a new release on 12th June. Book #2 in my Resurrectionist series is titled

"The Gentleman's Thief" The Gentleman's Thief (Resurrectionist #2) by Isobel Starling


It is a dark tale about a missing German nobleman, a secret society, and deviant desires. Here is the blurb:

Word count 67,391 words.

"Tuesday 28th December 1897. Mr. Benedict Hannan, the owner of Hannan’s Auction House in Fitzrovia, London, receives an unexpected visitor at his Bloomsbury home. The man on his stoop sends Benedict’s heart into a flutter, and on inviting the mysterious stranger into his house, he is inviting mystery, adventure, and volcanic desire.

Sebastian Cavell—master thief, gives the impression he has sought out Benedict for the sake of business, but the kind of business Sebastian has in mind has nothing to do with making money!

Cavell has been tasked with finding the whereabouts of a missing German aristocrat. With Benedict’s society connections, Sebastian gains access to his Gentleman’s Club and to men whose behavior is not so gentlemanly!

Benedict is pulled into the circle of a dangerous secret society and he not only learns the truth about the mysterious Sebastian Cavell but learns the truth about himself and all he truly desires."

FYI: This is historical Gay romance and contains scenes of a graphic sexual nature.

The book will initailly be out in ebook and Gary Furlong will narrate the audiobook this month. However, with the length of time it's taking Audible to release audiobooks these days we don't expect it to be onsale until August.

I will now dive into my re-write/edit of "The Dark Harvest", the follow up to my fantasy novel "Apple Boy". After that the plan is to write "Infernal Vices" book #3 in the Resurrectionist series, and then "The Rebel Candidate" Book 6 in Shatterproof Bond.


Keep safe
