Noah Murphy

Picture
Noah Murphy started writing fiction when he was five. Then when he was twelve, he had a vision, a vision of high fantasy and cyberpunk coming together in glorious harmony. That vision, after several rough starts, is K23 Detectives, a fantasy thriller series set in a unique universe that combines high fantasy and cyberpunk, along with steampunk and a healthy does of realism.

He also plans to publish sci-fi and fantasy in other universes he's dreamed up. 

In addition to writing, Noah runs his own small pet sitting service, writes an Xbox Indies game review blog, and volunteers at a parrot rescue.

 Barbarian Girl

Picture
Young Adult Science Fiction

Liza Eaton was a slightly-chubby fifteen year old girl relentlessly picked on by bullies. Then she finds the Axe of Borin, a mystical artifact which imbues her with amazing strength and endurance. It also turns her into a hulking beast of rippling muscle, the opposite of everything she wants to be. But she can’t mope for long as the government forces her to train to become a hero, an expendable assassin who is sold to the general public as a virtuous role model.

Now at a new school for powered teenagers like herself, and training under the guidance of cynical ex-heroine Sarah Sapphire, Liza must find  her inner strength quickly. Her former bullies have been transformed into cannibalistic monsters called wendigos, and they’re coming for her….

Barbarian Girl is a young adult science fiction novella of about 23,000 words. It is Noah Murphy’s fourth self-published work.

A Clear and Feathered Danger

Picture
Fantasy Thriller

In the technological dystopia of New Delta, the Avian Syndicate, a criminal empire made up entirely of large purple birds, wants the one thing they can't steal. To get it, they recruit an abused goblin shaman, cast out from her people; with her help, they devise a daring plan that no one sees coming.

Standing in their way is Alfonso Deegan, a grizzled but happily married private detective, and his three associates: Quintanelle Fillion, a young elven mage far from home trying to overcome her racist upbringing; Mordridakon, a red dragon with few social skills and an endless appetite; And Trogg the Genius, the world's smartest ogre.

Together the detectives must work quickly to defuse the situation before the Syndicate destroys New Delta, or long standing prejudices do it for them.
