Naomi Novik
Naomi Novik is an American author of historical fantasy/alternate history novels. She writes the Temeraire fantasy series. Naomi has been reading ever since she was young, even reading the Lord of the Rings when she was six and then came to love Jane Austen when she was only seven years old. With her childhood love for literature in mind, it comes as no surprise that Naomi studied English Literature at Brown University. She also got her Master’s degree in Computer Science from Columbia University. After working on designing and developing the Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide computer game, she realized that she preferred writing fantasy to working on fantasy video games.
