C. J. R. Isely

Plunging into worlds of imagination….

C. J. R. Isely first began writing in a spiral ring notebook with chickens across the front of it. She recalls this but can’t recall her age except that it had to have been very early as she had just learned how to spell the word Bluejay.

After that first writing venture, she soon plunged into more storytelling and enjoyed creating worlds of fiction with paper and pen. However, none of these stories ever felt like ‘the one’ that she could complete from start to end.

Until, while walking outside, she found herself imagining a castle, a Kingdom of knights and adventure, in a realm she dubbed Alamore. And, at the age of twelve, she wrote her first full length novel–Ranger of Kings.

That book then went on to sit on a shelf for another twelve, almost thirteen, years until she did her first edits and, knowing nothing of publishing, released it to the world at large in 2020.

Since then, she graduated college with a business degree, worked in sales and marketing, trained horses, run a ranch, and has written and later rewritten the full William of Alamore series. Now, she spends most of her time as an author, writing the Alamore books as well as a different genre under another pen name. She lives on her ranch with her dogs, horses, cat, and a collection of cattle (most of which are named.)

She always encourages readers and aspiring authors to reach out for discussions and enjoys helping people navigate their own writing journey by sharing the knowledge she’s obtained. Her favorite pastimes when not writing include learning new skills, riding, training horses, and spending time with her family.
