Noel Braun commenced his working career as a country school teacher then moved into a corporate career which took him from Melbourne to Perth and Sydney. He has had a lifelong passion for writing and wrote the first words of his novels over thirty years ago. After a busy career and raising a family of four, he has found the time in retirement to fulfil his long-held ambition to see his work in print.

Noel has published two novels Friend and Philosopher and Whistler Street. He has also published a memoir No Way to Behave at a Funeral, which describes his journey following the death by suicide of his wife Maris. He is working steadily on other manuscripts and on developing a new career in writing. All his work has been dedicated to the memory of his cherished wife, Maris, whose continuing support and encouragement gave Noel the confidence to persist with his ambitions.

Noel lives on Sydney's northern beaches.
