Naomi Novik


USA flag (b.1973)

Naomi Novik was born in New York in 1973, a first-generation American, and raised on Polish fairy tales, Baba Yaga, and Tolkien. She studied English Literature at Brown University and did graduate work in Computer Science at Columbia University before leaving to participate in the design and development of the computer game Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide. Over the course of a brief winter sojourn working on the game in Edmonton, Canada (accompanied by a truly alarming coat that now lives brooding in the depths of her closet), she realized she preferred the writing to the programming, and, on returning to New York, decided to try her hand at novels. Temeraire is her first.

Naomi lives in New York City with her husband and six computers.

Wesley Chu
"The Art of Prophecy is an ambitious and touching exploration of disillusionment in faith, tradition, and family, but it's also unexpectedly funny. I loved following Wesley Chu's intricate narrative through this sprawling universe full of the glorious reinvention of fantasy and wuxia tropes."
