Kaitlin Noble graduated from Furman University in 2022, having taken a grand total of one class in mythology. Other than that, she has no background in Greek mythology, nor does she have any previous experience writing novels. Based on that information, one might conclude that she had no business attempting to write this book. However, Kaitlin has a particular passion for researching and learning new skills on her own, and so, here we are. Despite not studying the subjects formally, Kaitlin had an interest in Greek mythology and writing throughout her youth. That might have made writing the book a little more fun, but let's be honest, that's not why she made it. More than anything else, Heart of Stone is the result of her little sister's love of reading and Kaitlin's endless need to make her sister the perfect present.
