Isabella is never happier than when she is immersing herself in the sights, sounds and experiences of family life from the Second World War years through to the 1960s. Researching all aspects of life back then formed the perfect launch pad for her works of fiction. Isabella rediscovered her love of writing fiction during two happy years working on and completing her MA in Professional Writing and since then she has gone on to publish six novels, three novellas and two short story collections.

The good news is that just yesterday I published a brand new short story anthology containing stories about many of the characters in the Janie Juke series - all with a Christmas theme! The anthology is called: 'Twelve at Christmas' - Twelve short stories for the festive season. The Kindle version is available right now and a paperback version will come out in a few days. But rest assured, that more novels will be coming out during 2020 - including the first of a brand new series featuring an Italian detective! Meanwhile - best wishes to you for the season and happy reading!(less)

For the last six months we have been travelling Britain in search of a new home. We have been staying on campsites, the perfect setting for all kinds of mysteries...for example, a man pitching a one-man tent on a cold, wet autumn night. Of course, he could be making his way around the coastal paths of Britain, raising money for charity, or he could be on the run ... or he could be exploring a location that holds a mystery to his past...the choice is yours!(less)

Flashes of Doubt

Some say it was during the 1960s that the idea of ‘the generation gap’ entered into popular usage. It became a useful phrase that summed up the differing attitudes towards politics, behaviour, music, fashion and virtually everything else between the young and the old — with the ‘old’ including everyone over 30.

Children born after the war ended entered their teenage years in the sixties. They knew

“I’d arrived in their lives seeing nothing but fun, excitement, a problem-free existence where they could please themselves. I felt embarrassed by how blinkered I had been. All the times I had drunk Fred’s beer, enjoyed their generosity, not even considering the possibility that they had problems too, just like the rest of us.”
Isabella Muir, Storms of Change: 1960

“Do you know what she said? “Haven’t we just had the best day, Fred.” She thought it was great fun, after all, she said, the shop would hardly miss one bottle. She’d persuaded”
Isabella Muir, Storms of Change: 1960

“see now that there are people who are happy to throw caution high into the air, leaving it to random chance as to whether events land well or badly, and others who cling to the safety of that spatula.”
Isabella Muir, Waiting for Sunshine: A child's world is turned upside down...
