NOLA TRIAD

NOLA Triad is the pen name for three award-winning writers who collaborate as one New Orleans voice. Their mission is to bring readers the uncompromising novels they’d like to read but that the major publishers don’t put out. Like the characters in their stories, NOLA Triad are Black, they are Asian, they are white, they are mixed-race. They are female and male. They are public high school products who got scholarships to colleges where they honed their craft. Two of them were roommates at Tulane University, and the third took classes at Tulane as a high school student before being admitted to Harvard, where, as of the release of Bayou Savages, she is still enrolled. They consume legends of grimy crime fiction: the S.A. Cosbys, Phillip Thompsons, the Lehanes and Highsmiths and Flynns, and they devour a lot of other genres too. But what they deliver is like nothing else. The true fuel for NOLA Triad’s writing is the city that made them. There is a cadence to their stories, a spice, a rhythm all the way down to the sentence that is pure New Orleans. They know not all readers will like it, but they are grateful to write for the ones who do.
