Beatrice has been lied to her whole life.
Her life is in disarray.
Her future uncertain.
It's time for her to take control.

@BelleSchuler's THE HOUSE OF BARBARY brings sixteenth-century Bern to life as Beatrice walks the dangerously thin line between retribution and revenge…

Journey to the past with some new historical fiction ��
How about 11th century Scotland where the fearsome princess who inspired Shakespeare? 🗡️ It’s a suspenseful story of love, vengeance, and a quest to be Queen 👸🏻

[Louise Ripley-Duggan @LouiseRipDug]

Proud, proud, proud!!!! ✨✨✨

[Isabelle Schuler @BelleSchuler]

Unbelievably chuffed to be longlisted for @The_CWA Dagger Awards in Historical Fiction alongside these incredible authors (including @ambroseparry who is one of my all-time FAVOURITE writers!!🤯)

[Isabelle Schuler @BelleSchuler]

Swooning over the CROATIAN cover of #LadyMacBethad published by @Mozaik_knjiga in October. It is so beautiful and classy! Cannot WAIT to add this to the collection!!

[Jucptr (🐱. 🐐) @JucptrEchxnge]

Still processing Edinburgh Fringe but it’s just hit me….
30 and Out pretty much sold out the entire run with a tiny budget, no PR & no mass machine:
5 awards & nominations.
16 reviews all 4 & 5 stars.
108 oranges consumed.

Put queer stories centre stage.

[Isabelle Schuler @BelleSchuler]

Sidling away from Book #2 for a moment, I am BLOWN AWAY that #QueenHereafter (US title) has been chosen by @EW as one of their 'must-reads' for Fall. Alongside the stunning talent that is @HFKaner with her debut #Godkiller I am SHOOKETH!

Honestly, y’all are in for a treat with Book #2 😝 Conversations with the agent @LouiseRipDug are so fun

[Isabelle Schuler @BelleSchuler]

Having celebrated the publication of #LadyMacBethad in Spanish with @umbrieleditores I can't believe we have LESS THAN ONE MONTH until it comes out in the US under the title #QueenHereafter with @HarperPerennial !!!

[Isabelle Schuler @BelleSchuler]

Happy Spanish publication day to #LadyMaBethad @umbrieleditores !! Now available in Mexico and Spain! 🤩

[Jucptr (🐱. 🐐) @JucptrEchxnge]

So chuffed and honoured to be shortlisted for best solo performance for 30 and Out @prenticeprods 😀

[Isabelle Schuler @BelleSchuler]

I am floored. Thank you so much @KirkusReviews for the lovely words!!

‘Like Shakespeare’s play, Schuler’s richly detailed first novel resonates with the ageless themes of betrayal, jealousy, and a lust for power.‘
