Noël’s daughter, RITA-award-winning author Kristan Higgins (Fools Rush In, Catch of the Day, Just One of the Guys, Too Good to Be True), gives the following endorsement without coercion and of her own free will:
"My
mom is that terrifying and wonderful combination of college English
professor and Sister Benedict, the ruler-wielding nun who taught you
how to diagram a sentence in fourth grade. Mom has proofread and copy
edited all of my books, and my publishers swoon over the cleanliness of
my manuscripts. She’s fast, she’s accurate, she’s the best, and she
makes the greatest New York cheesecake this side of the Mississippi!"

Mike Wimmer, award-winning illustrator/author (Train Song, Flight: The Journey of Charles Lindbergh, Homerun: The Story of Babe Ruth, All The Places To Love, Theodore), had this to say about working with Noël:
"I can’t thank you enough. You made this process so easy. Your suggestions were so helpful."
