Rose's first novel, The J.A.P. Chronicles, was published by Doubleday in 2005. She adapted her novel into a one-woman, musical which ran off-Broadway in 2006. Her non-fiction essays have also been included in various anthologies and she is currently working on her second novel. Isabel's first CD, Swingin' from the Hip, is available on iTunes and Amazon. She is a summa cum laude graduate of Yale University and holds an MFA in fiction and literature from Bennington College.
