About

Isabella Kamal is an Iraqi Muslim historical romance author. Growing up in the Middle East, she had very little access to romance novels—but once she got hold of one, she never looked back.

Isabella is a graduate of the University of California, Davis, and California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Now calling Pasadena home, she can usually be found in independent bookstores or reading under her heated blanket after long days spent developing cell-based therapies.

I'm a historical romance novelist who loves spirited heroines and gentle heroes.  Maybe you do, too!

A Few Things About me

I love singing and am two years into my opera training.

I think chihuahuas are the best dogs and can’t be convinced otherwise.

I’m a very casual gamer with an encyclopedic knowledge of the Final Fantasy series.

I’m a huge Shakespeare nut and have read every single one of his plays.

I adore a good planner and rarely use digital tools to keep myself organized.
