Audrey Levy was born in Paterson, New Jersey, the youngest of three children. After
graduating from Boston University with a Bachelor's Degree from the School of Education, she moved to Los Angeles, California
in 1975 to pursue a career as a writer. She got sidetracked by working for a Psychologist, and ended up becoming a licensed
Marriage and Family Therapist, who is expected to receive her Doctorate in June 2010 ... but Audrey never gave up her
dream of becoming a professional writer. Audrey is the author of a dozen screenplays, two of which advanced to the finals
in Steven Spielberg's "Chesterfield Competition," and one of which advanced to the finals in Robert Redford's "Sundance
Competition." Audrey has also been published in the Los Angeles Times and New West Magazine. She lives in Marina Del
Rey, CA on a houseboat with Kelly, a very happy dog, who smiles.
Jimmy Splendor was an atheist. When he woke
up in Heaven, he didn’t believe he was dead, and he certainly didn’t believe he was in Heaven. Greeted by his
father, whom he hated on Earth, Jimmy took off running for seven years Earth time (which is really only a few minutes in Heaven).
He finally met an angel named Oleo, who encouraged him to help his former wife, Noelle, who was still having severe nightmares
years after Jimmy’s passing. Jimmy and Oleo visit Noelle in her dreams, and stimulate her to write a book about her
life in order to purge her emotional baggage. Through the innovative method of written conversations with the angels of her
loved ones, including her parents, this compelling work is deeply felt and personal. It is also particularly inspirational,
in that it describes how one can use the process of writing as a means of examining and dealing with the most painful episodes
of one’s life. Noelle’s Ark is a powerfully cathartic and spiritual experience—one you will never forget.

"The use of angels for literary purposes has been most effectively
demonstrated by Tony Kushner in his epic drama, Angels in America.
Audrey Levy has used this devise in Noelle's
Ark to connect with her
richly detailed exploration of the meaningful relationships in her
background. It
is very moving"
-Bertram Slaff, M.D., Dept. of Psychiatry,

"I already believe that life doesn't
end here, and Noelle's Ark
wonderfully addresses that possibility."
