Praise for The Gold-Son, narrated by Gerard Doyle
Winner of AudioFile Magazine's Earphones Award

"Noble creates a fantasy world worthy of a Grimm fairy tale, and narrator Gerard Doyle delivers it with energy and style. Young Tommin Kelly is cursed by Lorcan Reilly, a leprechaun whose ambition is to become king of the leprechauns. Portraying the ruthless villain blinded by greed, Gerard oozes evil into every syllable he speaks, yet he controls his performance so that the villain goes beyond a stereotype. Using distinct Irish accents, Gerard fills this young adult fantasy with memorable character voices and infuses Tommin's spirit, in particular, with the power of a fallen hero. A must-listen for teen fantasy lovers." -AudioFile Magazine

Reviews for Gretchen and the Bear 
"Oh my goodness, this book! As an avid admirer of Carrie Anne Noble’s lyrical prose and storytelling skill, I had high hopes for this book. I’m pleased to say I was not disappointed. This breathtaking tale, steeped in fae magic and faerie lore, delights in all the right ways. You simply must experience Gretchen and the Bear for yourself. Bravo!”-Michele Israel Harper, award-winning editor and author of Kill the Beast
 

"Gretchen and the Bear transports the reader into a magical realm that is one part sci-fi, one part fantasy, one part fairy tale. It's a brilliant mash-up, and I was thrilled to journey with Gretchen as she discovered all the layers of meaning inside this wooded landscape - one of fairies and spells, and most importantly true love. It is a marvelous read."-Roberta Gore, author of "Relic"

Spring Cleaning Writer Challenge

Image
Hi! I was tagged by the charming & very talented author H.L. Burke for this springtime challenge! In spite of the fact that I find the idea of spring cleaning reprehensible, here's my post! 1. Dust-bunnies and Plot-bunnies: Reorganize Your Writing Goals (Or Make New Ones)   My Big Fat Goal is to get my current novel-in-progress into shape so I can query agents and sign with a really great one by the end of 2018! Easy as pie...I wish! 2. Which Stage Are You At? Expound! a. Remodeling layouts (planning the story) b. Painting the walls in colorful hues (writing) c. Polishing the windows and scrubbing the floors and putting flowers in vases (editing) d. Blueprints (not to the cleaning or remodeling yet… just drawing up plans for the very beginning inklings of a story) e. Some combination of those things (cleaning out a closet) As usual, I’m doing   a. and b. at the same time…and a little c.   Which may explain why it takes me so long...

Irish Blessings, Curses, & Wisdom   In honor of the upcoming June 2017 release of my novel The Gold-Son (which features Irish characters, lore, and settings), I offer you a collection of Irish sayings—some sweet, some humorous, and a few downright nasty (things an ornery leprechaun might say!). Enjoy!       Wisdom & Good Wishes 1. May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty. 2. Enough is as good as a feast. 3. There's no need to fear the wind if your haystacks are tied down. 4. God is good, but never dance in a small boat. 5. It's no use carrying an umbrella if your shoes are leaking. 6. A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea. 7. May the frost never afflict your spuds. May the outside leaves of your cabbage always be free from worms. May the crow never pick your haystack, and may your donkey always be in foal. 8. May I see you old and grey and combing out your grandchildren's hair. 9. May the grass grow long on the r...

NEW BOOK ALERT and other stuff... I am over-the-moon excited to share my new novel with you! This one is close to my heart, and I think you're going to love it! It's the story of a coal town girl who grows antlers and the moth-winged boy who wants to give her the world. And it comes out October 22, 2024 from Oliver Heber books!  Here's the official blurb:  An 1880’s coal town is no place for a girl with antlers. Once upon a winter’s day, a childless miner and his wife find baby Sabella in a mysterious basket. When she suddenly grows a pair of silvery gray antlers, they hide her from the world in embarrassment and fear. Seventeen years later, Sabella’s life is nothing but housework and loneliness—but charming, nineteen-year-old Calder arrives on her doorstep determined to change that. He knows her secret and has plenty of his own. Among them: he’s been her unseen protector for years, he has the wings of a moth, and he’s part of the Springborn: a group of people with ...
