Noble Smith

I am an award winning playwright, documentary producer, and Franchise Narrative Director of the Xbox video game series Age of Empires.

My latest novel Draxinger is a paranormal spy-thriller set during The Great War and available as a Kindle exclusive.

My nonfiction book The Wisdom of the Shire is published by Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press, and has been translated into 8 languages. Kirkus Reviews praised it as "A life-affirming, must-have morsel for Tolkien's colossal fan base."

My historical fiction action/adventure The Nikias of Plataea Trilogy is published by Macmillan. NYT bestselling authors Michael and Kathleen Gear described it as having "Terrific action, with a wickedly brilliant plot, visceral combat, and nail-biting treachery."
