She is best known for her young adult works, which incorporate science and math into fiction. Her most popular novel, A Gebra Named Al, was first published in 1993.[1] CareerIsdell dedicated much of her early life to writing. Her first notable publishing credit came at age nine, through articles in the Haydon Elementary School newsletter (the first ever by a student). Seven years later, she signed a contract for her first novel, A Gebra Named Al, with Free Spirit Publishing[2] in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The sequel was published two years later. Isdell was also a pioneer of the internet, having developed websites as early as November 1994. (However, the Internet Archive project has records for her original website dating back only to 1999,[3] the older records presumably having been lost.) She was a contributor for early versions of DreamingGates.com,[4] experimenting with javascript and css to create a rudimentary shopping cart as early as 1999. EducationIsdell graduated Summa Cum Laude in 1997 from Hofstra University with a B.A. in Creative Arts, then Summa Cum Laude from Mary Washington University in 2004 with an M.A. in General Studies. She went on to obtain a Doctorate of Divinity and Ph.D. in Religion. PersonalIsdell currently lives in Virginia, and is openly gay.[5] For health reasons, she rarely ventures out.[6] Bibliography
