Video Interview & Anniversary Message from Isobelle!
Back at the Sydney Writers' Festival in May 2009, Penguin interviewed Isobelle and they contacted me, asking if I could discreetly gather some questions from our Theories board to ask her.
As part of their wonderful anniversary gift to us, Sharlene has sent me the video interview - which contains a special message from Isobelle, to us, right at the end!
Many thanks to Sharlene @ Penguin for gifting us this - and Isobelle for taking the time to do it!

Darksong Launch Interview
OBERNEWTYN. NET EXCLUSIVE
We caught up with Isobelle at the launch of her new book "Darksong", the 2nd book in the Legendsong Trilogy. The event was opened by Richard Harland, author of "Ferren and the Angel", and good friend of Isobelle's. It was held at Twofloorsup, a nightclub in Melbourne on the 20/10/2002.
Despite the large numbers of people there, Isobelle was kind enough to grant us this interview.... and we got some very surprising answers for you all!!
