"The best ideas rarely arrive politely. They show up from nowhere and sometimes from everywhere. The great ones make me slightly uncomfortable and wonder if it's even possible to write this?"
The newest book from James Noble.
Norwalk, Connecticut. Mid-seventies. Seven characters. One vile murderer. All intertwined in the sprawling saga of a deadbeat town looking to salvage what luster it once enjoyed. A decorated Police Chief wrestling with a black-as-night past in the jungles of South East Asia. His Deputy, trying to safeguard her daughter's sanity and hang tough in a male dominated civilization. Her best friend, who works with emotionally disturbed kids and tries to protect them from the evil infiltrating her home town. All of them hunted and stalked by an assassin hellbent on taking lives in the most savage of manners.
Watch for the sequel late Fall 2026

Storytelling that transports you to a different time, and a unique place exploring the many sides of human experience. From the misadventures of a young man humorously grappling with life at ten-years-old. A teenage rabble-rouser teetering on the verge of adulthood. Or a young woman with bipolar disorder facing fears she is not equipped to handle. Whether it be whimsical, deeply emotional, or brimming with primal terror you will feel part of the narrative. Living the life of his distinct characters.
"My sole job is to elicit emotion. A belly laugh. A nervous gulp. Or a content sigh. If there's no reaction then you're just reading words."
Much of James Noble's work begins with a simple question: What if? Then he escorts readers to places and times that come alive. Creates characters worth caring about. And mixes it all together to produce a narrative to keep you coming back for more.

Praise for James Noble's Novels
A thoughtful, beautiful novel. I loved this book. Jimmy Foxton is the freshest narrator I've come across in a long time. A wonderful story told from the view of a precocious ten-year-old--one that only a skilled novelist can master. I'd recommend this read to anyone.

It's a time machine back to the '70s. But you know what else? It's poignant, tender, and heart-warming. A rich and textured tale that will make you laugh, squirm, and cry.

I always believed it was possible to go back in time. I just never thought a book was capable of taking me there. My only regret is that it wasn’t longer.
