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 throwing words at the page ever since, and hoping something sticks.

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 fast. Learning to write a novel, not just a story, took longer. The result was a fantasy mishmash between Terry Pratchett and Joe Abercrombie, with the chaotic, found-family energy of any good D&D 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 writing books where the line between hero and monster is never quite clear.
