What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you.

Hi, I’m Evelyn. Previously, I taught high school English and British Literature. Now, I work for an education technology company and in my spare time, write historical romance that is inspired by revolutionary women and the men who love them. As Evie Isaacks I write contemporary romance about people figuring out their future.

I live in Virginia with my husband and son and two dogs. I love hiking, cooking, embroidery and walking through my city wondering about the lives that were lived here.

In this blog I write about my process and inspiration, but also my joys, struggles and everyday life.
