Isaiah
was born and bred in Texas, and he has the cowboy hat to prove it. Not that
he’d actually WEAR the cowboy hat, but he keeps it in case anyone needs proof.
He spent his childhood reading a blend of Dickens, Dumas, and Stan Lee, and he
dreamed his whole life of becoming a writer. And also of being bitten by a radioactive
spider. Unfortunately, only one dream has panned out.
For
the last 15 years Isaiah has devoted his life to teaching and leading students
and young adults, whether it was through large scale assemblies for new
recruits at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO, or through the classroom as a teacher in
Albuquerque, NM. He has also written various freelance articles for magazines
aimed at the teenage culture and worked as a writing coach for students
participating in the National Fine Arts Festival. He has now turned his gift of
storytelling and creative presentation to writing novels for children and young
adults.
Isaiah lives with with his wife, three children, and his sanity,
although that may be moving out soon. He occasionally searches the classifieds
for the bulk sale of spiders and uranium but hasn’t found a price he is
comfortable with yet. He is represented by Marietta B. Zacker of the Nancy
Gallt Literary Agency.
