Odysee

Scott A.W Lewin May 2

I’m very happy to share that Beneath Still Stars is now part of the Barrie Public Library collection.

Libraries play a vital role in our communities and connecting readers with new stories, and it’s incredibly meaningful to see the book available in that space.

If you’re in Barrie, you can now borrow it through the library system.

If you’re elsewhere, you can often request books through your local library—many systems accept reader requests and use them when deciding what to add.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the book and helped it reach this point.

Wonderment Within Weirdness Has Something a Lot of Media Is Missing: Heart

There’s a lot of media out there today that looks incredible on the surface. Big budgets. Huge stakes. Flashy action. Multiverse-level chaos. But for all the spectacle, something often feels… off. Empty, even. Like it’s all noise without meaning. That’s where Wonderment Within Weirdness stands apart. And no, this isn’t me gassing myself up. This is me recognizing something I didn’t fully see at first: beneath all the absurdity, the chaos, the wild set pieces, and the multiverse […]

Why Wonderment Within Weirdness Stands Apart From Other Books and Media

When I think about Wonderment Within Weirdness, one of the things that constantly comes to mind is just how much story there is in a single debut novel. And I don’t say that to brag—it’s just a fact. For a lot of readers, authors, and even media consumers, it’s rare to see a single book, especially a debut, that carries so much narrative weight, so many ideas, so many characters, and so many moving pieces all at once. The story is dense, chaotic, sprawling, absurd, and yet […]

THE CHOICE THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING: A Message From the Heart of My New Book ( BURIED THINGS CAN STILL BLOOM- The Awakening of KAEL)

In this heartfelt letter to readers, Isabella Joshua opens up about the most difficult scene she ever wrote: the moment her lead character, Kael Morrison, a man hollowed by grief, addiction, and betrayal chooses forgiveness over revenge. Part personal confession, part invitation, this post asks the question at the heart of her debut novel: what does unforgiveness truly cost us, and what becomes possible when we finally let it go? Available April 6, 2026.

What part of writing do I enjoy most?

There are so many parts of the process that I genuinely enjoy — building the world, imagining future technology, and developing each character and their background.

But if I had to choose one, it would be the character interactions.

That moment when a scene suddenly clicks is incredibly rewarding. When the dialogue flows naturally and the characters start reacting to each other in ways that feel real, it almost feels like I’m watching the story unfold rather than writing it.

Those are the moments that make all the planning and effort worth it.

if you write or read, what part do you enjoy the most?
