Hunt, Fight, Survive
Author Biography
Noalle Harwen is a passionate writer with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and English. She always found an escape in magical realms enriched with fantasy and adventure in books that transformed her perception of the world. Her work often gravitates toward Young Adult and New Adult fiction, favoring the Fantasy genre. An introvert at heart, Noalle finds herself likening her creative process to that of a beloved hobbit in the Shire, perfectly content sipping her tea in her cozy nook, and avoiding the outside world unless adventure beckons. When not delving into her imaginative escapades, she can be found exploring new stories that inspire her own literary path, all while dreaming of a peaceful life filled with second breakfasts and adventures. Noalle aims to create unique worlds where her readers can lose themselves— if only to escape the chaos beyond their own front doors.
Inspiration
The remnants of lost civilizations like Mahendrapavarta, Petra, and Pavlopetri inspired her to craft her unique world. These extraordinary places once thrived and today serve as cautionary tales of the power of nature. Like glittering tombstones, they remind us how fragile our own great cities are. The beauty lies in their ruins; Noalle’s fascination with ancient worlds allows her to bring curated lands to life and inspire others to explore the secrets of the unknown.
Goals and Aspirations
As an aspiring author, Noalle is currently seeking representation. She plans to write a series that consists of five books, one book each focusing on a new ancient world to uncover, as readers follow the characters on a quest into forgotten lands and constant fights for survival. Her goals are to one day be on a Best Sellers List and have her stories shared across the world. She wishes to inspire others to step outside and embrace the beauty our world offers, and to enjoy the real world in a technology-driven era. She plans on earning recognition through writing awards and fellowships to elevate her profile in her literary career, as well as growing a wide audience with whom she can connect and share her future works.
Personal Life
In addition to writing and building my story world, I am a full-time mother to a wonderful little boy. The idea for my story actually came to me just a year after he was born, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. On our days off, we love visiting Universal Studios to enjoy butterbeer, rides, and studio tours. Besides my son, I also have two furbabies: Hunter (a German Shepherd/Husky mix) and Ghost (an Akita/Husky mix), who have saved my life more than once—when they’re not dragging me down hiking trails. I am the middle child among four sisters—two older and two younger—whose personalities inspired some of my characters. My mother, who has always encouraged me to pursue my dreams, has always been a huge supporter of my books since I first shared the idea with her. In addition to being a mother, daughter, and sister, I am also a wife to the most amazing man I’ve ever met. My husband motivates me to be the best version of myself, and on my worst days, he makes me feel like I can move mountains. Just as the Arcalites in my series carry the key to everlasting life, knowing that he is by my side, forever doesn’t seem so far away.
The trick with writing is to keep reading and never stop writing.
