Isabel first broke into the novel writing scene when she was writing her column, Tiffany Trott, for The Telegraph in the late 1990s. This led, some weeks later, to HarperCollins requesting she turned the column into a book, and she has continued, from strength to strength with her eighth novel, A Vintage Affair, out early next year.
Born in Warwickshire, she read English at Cambridge, and became a struggling actress for five years. She applied for a job with the BBC and worked as a producer for the BBC World Service, moving on to report on news and current affairs.
Isabel wrote freelance for The Spectator, The Evening Standard and The Daily Telegraph. The latter commissioned her to write a column, called Tiffany Trott. Tiffany Trott a humourous take on a thirty something woman trying to find Mr Right, was based (loosely) on herself. Her subsequent novels have all been romantic comedies about self deceiving women...who fail to acknowledge the mess they are making of things.
