Hi friends! Reintroducing myself, I’m the author of IN THE RING about a bisexual girl with anxiety who accidentally joins a fight club. I live in Asheville NC and currently celebrating the return of clean water 💜 happy to be here!
The cover of In the Ring - a boy and girl are standing back to back, both wearing hand wraps with a sprinkle of blood. The boy has short hair and the girl has long hair and front bangs. Behind them is the Atlanta skyline and white doodles of roses, cracks, a crown and a thought bubble cover the page. Text reads “In the Ring” and “Sierra Isley.” The color is a pink to purple gradient. A girl with short brown hair, a blue shirt, black leggings and a yellow backpack smiles at the camera. She is standing on a hiking trail with trees and leaves covering the ground.

Another review! Booklist says "Isley's debut novel is a thrilling romance as well as a thoughtful look at mental health and grief." The full review will be out in mid-September! Yay!
Text on screen says "Isley's debut novel is a thrilling romance as well as a thoughtful look at mental health and grief." - Booklist. In the bottom right corner there is an image of the book. The title is "In the Ring" and the art is a girl and boy standing back to back, both dressed in hand-wraps for boxing.

My first author blurb is here!!! I loved Emma Kress's powerful book DANGEROUS PLAY and I'm honored she read IN THE RING!

"If you like ride-or-die besties, bad boys with heart, and girls who can throw a punch, you'll enjoy this debut."

"A gritty, graphic glimpse of the physical and mental realities of anxiety with a streak of romance. The well-drawn and likable characters invite empathy, and the subject matter will intrigue readers who are drawn to edgier works." - Kirkus
