It took three years, but Isabelle Busch has written, illustrated, laid out and published her first book, "Theoretical Dragon Anatomy". She took her childhood fascination with dragons a bit further: to create a book grounded in real science. It was an independent project done outside of classes at University High School and it is available for sale on Amazon and elsewhere. Auntie's Bookstore is hosting a launch party at 7 PM Saturday, June 15, and she has a signing at Barnes & Noble in the Spokane Valley, 11 am-3pm Saturday, June 22.

Publicity is just one part of launching a book. Isabelle Busch was interviewed by Verne while she was being shadowed by KREM TV photographer Brett Allbery.
