Talent definitely runs in Isobella Glovers family!

The talented Year 13 student created the artwork for her mum’s recently published book “Scorched”, and was also the inspiration for the lead character Blayze.

Isobella is pictured above with her author mum Kimberly Harpur, and her younger sister Summer.

“Scorched is a dystopian sci-fi/ action adventure novel that’s mainly targeted toward young adults,” says Isobella. “It is about four women traversing the scorched Earth to find a cure for a virus that has been plaguing society for 300 years. It is told through the perspectives of some of the main characters in the book.”

Scorched is Kimberly’s first book, although she is making it the first of a trilogy and planning on writing two more, which Isobella will most likely be designing the covers for.

“My mum had a solid idea for the cover in her head and explained what she wanted it to look like; we worked together on designing how it looked and I followed her ideas and made the cover embody what she wanted. I’m really proud of the story and how far it’s come, as I’ve been one of the people mum has bounced ideas off of since the beginning, I’ve seen how she’s developed the characters and the storyline and seen how far it’s come.”

Isobella says it felt surreal to see the book complete. “I haven’t collaborated with my mum on anything else, but it’s very likely that I will in the future,” she says. ”

As for the future, I have no idea what really what I want to pursue as there are so many things that I want to do. I’m planning on studying art history and media, film, and television under a bachelor of arts when I leave high school but I’d love to continue dabbling in the creative arts industry, whether it be drawing things for other people, or writing (and/or illustrating) my own books.”

You can find Scorched on Amazon Kindle.
