Sue Isle (born in 1963 in Fremantle, Western Australia) is the author of the Young Adult literature Fantasy novel "Scale Of Dragon, Tooth Of Wolf".

"My latest bio. I live in Perth, Western Australia and have been writing as long as I knew that real people wrote books. My lit credit so far includes the YA book Scale of Dragon, Tooth of Wolf and kids book Wolf Children. I've also sold quite a few stories around the place to markets such as Aurealis, Orb, ASIM, Agog, Sword and Sorceress and Tales of the Unanticipated [USA] and recently moved online with Shiny, a YA fiction magazine! My other interests include history, sf conventions, roleplay gaming, gardening and working out how best to turn my hometown into an Aftermath scenario."
