Take the Damn Magic Back
Join your fellow readers in a community that feeds your bookish soul. Dive into a story that consumes you, a conversation that inspires you, and a tribe that lifts you up.
How nurtured is your Original Wanderer, the source of your awe and creativity?
Loneliness sucks.
Doomscroll brain sucks.
Reclaim your Original Wanderer.
You remember a time before the busy-ness robbed you of the quiet, of the space to create and dream.
… when you read with your whole heart instead of half your attention.
… when you shared the dream from the pages with friends who set your inspiration on fire.
That time doesn’t have to be over.
Let your Fellow Wanderers guide you back to that place.
“Our bonfire connection and reflection times are thought-provoking, hilarious, and healing all at the same time. Many thanks to Isabella Ash for dreaming up such a relational and soul-filling way to connect with fabulous people!”

The Story the Guild Lives Inside Of
THE SHADES OF VENICE series is a dark paranormal romance designed to be read slowly, in community.
Set in the flooded ruins of Venice, our story combines seductive legends, immersive history, desperate passions in the shadows, vicious devotion to found family, and powerful transformation through deep self-acceptance and sacrifice.
This story is written to linger long after the final word drifts up from the page.
It’s designed to restore the wonder.
Don’t just read it.
Live it.
Immerse yourself through:
• Illustrated weekly chapters
• History, legends, recipes, maps, and character art
• Author and reader commentaries
• Side quests hidden in every book
• Letters, postcards, and story-based artifacts arriving in your mailbox
• Long conversations about the mysteries of your favorite characters
• Deep dives into life and lore with the author and your Fellow Wanderers
Future Wanderers on the Waitlist get access to the free prequel for the seven weeks prior to each registration window.
"I still have to remind myself that I can tell the author what a visceral emotion response this part of the story evoked in me. And then Isabella taps in and replies! Everyone should take the opportunity to experience a story/book series in this way!"

A Members-Only Reader Retreat to Pamper Your Original Wanderer
The Wanderers Guild Bonfire is an invaluable source of reliable support every week, all year long.
But once a year, an Original Wanderer needs just a little something more…
The second weekend in October, Guild members gather in the lush Tualatin Valley of Oregon to come together around a real bonfire, in real community.
One midday excursion each day to soothe and inspire you, the rest of the time to create, contemplate, or best of all…read uninterrupted beneath the trees, by the fire, or snuggled up in bed.
Members only invitations arrive when registration opens in early July.
The greatest gift I think anyone can give another is reminding them of who they are. I remember. And I’m so grateful. I can’t wait to exchange reminders with my Wanderer buddies in the next bonfire.
