“Metro Winds is a collection of five short stories, each more enchanted than the last, and while the stories all have fantastical elements, the majority are set firmly in the real world. Carmody’s writing is full of beautiful, carefully crafted imagery.“ Lip Magazine

Insideadog is a website  which encourages young people to read and write, run by the State Library of Victoria. They feature month long residences of Australian children’s writers.  Isobelle is their author in residence for March. Many of us know her from stories in the newspapers, radio and print interviews and talks, but the insideablog gives you a closer look at her life and the blogs are full of tips for writers as well as for readers as well as sneak peeks of works on the verge of being published. She also focuses the blog on the why, when and how of the time she is spending in Prague and she has posted some spectacular photos that will have you hankering to visit Europe.

Her first post for Inside A Dog was Skating on Thin Ice and that was followed by Prague Days, Paradigm Shift(ers), The Journey (Pt 1), The Short Story (Pt 1) , Judging a Book by its Cover , A lovely thing , The Journey (Pt 2) , The Journey (Pt 3) , The Bologna Book Fair Blog , A day in the Life of a Writer , The Short Story(Pt2) and THE END.

For a long time, I resisted the idea of having a website of my own because there are any number of perfectly good and comprehensive websites about my work, maintained by people who are devoted fans and utterly meticulous as well as being gifted in a cyber sense, unlike me. (more…)
