ESL
class.
She has written two high fantasy novels, Daughter of Exile and The Divided Crown, under the pen name "Isabel Glass". Her publisher recommended a pseudonym because they differ so much from her other work. "Isabel" is from Point Isabel Regional Shoreline, a local park which includes a dog run. "Glass" fits the Tor Books standard for pseudonyms, short surnames in the first half of the alphabet.[3]
She married Douglas A. Asherman in 1986, and lives in Oakland, California.
