T. Novan

Author T. Novan, has been writing his entire life. His love of the craft and his desire to master the art started young, when he won a community creative writing contest at the age of 8 with a short story about how mankind would settle future disputes over a chessboard. 40 years later, he realized that after working a variety of jobs including auto mechanic, police officer and even chimpanzee keeper, it was time to return to the one thing that he simply cannot deny – his love of and need to write.

He is married, with one daughter and three grandchildren. He currently lives about 20 minutes outside of Richmond, Virginia, on the grounds of the Confederate headquarters of Battle of Cold Harbor. A “gentleman farmer” with a small family homestead, he tends his flock of chickens and his miniature donkey, and writes.

After being in semi-retirement from the writing world for nearly a decade, T.N. has re-emerged with the re-release of classic titles like Madam President, First Lady and Words Heard in Silence (Book 1 of the Redmond Family Saga). He and his wife, Taylor Rickard, are actively working on the next two books in the Saga. Paths of Peace, Book 2, will be released in time for Christmas of 2015, and Enemies in the Gates (Book 3) will be released in January/February of 2016.
