Noel Braun commenced his working life as a country schoolteacher, 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 fifty years ago. After a busy career and raising a family of four, he has found the time in retirement to fulfill long-held ambition to see his work in print.

Noel has published three novels: Friend and Philosopher, Whistler Street and No Comfort on a Chilly Night. He has published a memoir, No Way to Behave at a Funeral which describes his grief journey following the death by suicide of his wife Maris, and three explorations of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela: The Day was Made for Walking, I Guess I’ll Just Keep on Walking and Keep Pressing On, Brother.

Noel took his time with No Comfort on a Chilly Night. He commenced the first draft over twenty years ago and wrote four other books in the meantime. The House That Chris Built is a sequel to No Comfort on a Chilly Night.

He is working on other manuscripts. He lives in the Snowy Mountains in southern New South Wales Australia where he is involved with the community. He likes to be active and enjoys getting out in the national parks surrounding his home.<\p>
