Born with half his vocal cords paralyzed, Noah found his voice through fantasy stories. Talking was difficult, but he could save Princess Pea alongside Despereaux, or fight the shadow alongside Ged. Eventually, reading was not enough. His first novel, written at the age of eight, was a ten-page retelling of King Midas called “The Trash Touch.” He's been traveling strange worlds alongside broken heroes on ill-advised adventures ever since.

His debut novel, Song of Monsters, began as a single page about two characters having breakfast. Four months later, COVID-19 sent him home to finish college in his parents' basement, and those characters found friends. The story grew quickly. Learning to write a novel, not just a story, took longer.

These days, Noah writes the kind of fantasy he likes best: epic, character-first stories about magic, bad gods, worse politics, and heroes who don’t always deserve the name. He has a soft spot for gallows humor and the chaotic found-family energy of any good Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

Noah lives in Denver, Colorado, with his wife and their two dogs, Grover and Solo. He enjoys banana pancakes for breakfast, Dungeons & Dragons with friends, and books where the line between hero and monster is never quite clear.
