Who Wrote The Onyx On North Shore Novel?

Oh, now that’s a neat little mystery to poke at. I dug through the usual suspects in my head and across bookstore mental shelves: there isn’t a widely known novel titled 'Onyx on North Shore' that comes up in major catalogs or bestseller lists. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist — it could be a self-published novella, a short story in an anthology, or a regional release that slipped under the radar of big databases.

If you want to track the author down, start with the cover or any snippet you’ve got: type the exact phrase "Onyx on North Shore" in quotes into Google, then try site-specific searches like "site:amazon.com \"Onyx on North Shore\"" or "site:goodreads.com \"Onyx on North Shore\"". Check WorldCat and the Library of Congress catalog as well; WorldCat is great for small-press or library-held items. If it’s an ebook, search KDP, Smashwords, Draft2Digital, or even Apple Books and Kobo. Another trick: hunt the ISBN or ASIN — retailers and library records often list the creator once you have that number.

If nothing shows up, consider that the title might be slightly off — maybe it's 'Onyx' set in a place called North Shore, or 'North Shore' is part of a longer title. People often confuse titles, especially with single-word names like 'Onyx' (which makes me think of books like 'Onyx' by Jennifer L. Armentrout). If you can post a photo of the cover, a distinctive line from the text, or a character name on Reddit's r/whatsthatbook or Goodreads groups, someone will likely recognize it fast. Happy sleuthing — I love a good bibliographic scavenger hunt!

Hmm, okay—so I tried to be thorough. Short story: there’s no obvious, widely cataloged author tied to the exact title 'Onyx on North Shore' that I can point to from memory or public bibliographies. That usually means one of three things: it’s a very small-press or self-published book, the title is slightly misremembered, or it’s a piece within an anthology rather than a standalone novel.

Here’s how I’d chase it down quick: copy any unique phrase from the book and Google it in quotes; search the exact title on Goodreads and WorldCat; check Amazon’s listings and use the "Look inside" preview to find author metadata; search for the title on Archive.org and Google Books. If you’ve got a physical copy, the copyright page will have the author and publisher info—if it’s a Kindle file, download the sample and check the front matter. Also try asking in book-identification communities, because someone else may have the same fuzzy memory and can spot the right work from a line or cover image.

If you want, share a line, a character name, or the cover — I’ll happily help run through possibilities. My gut says double-check small-press catalogs and indie bookstore listings around regions named North Shore; sometimes local settings mean local presses. Either way, it’s a fun little detective task and totally solvable with a bit of digging.

When I tackle a question like who wrote 'Onyx on North Shore', I think methodically: start with bibliographic databases, then widen to retailer metadata and reader communities. First step: search WorldCat for the title; it aggregates library holdings worldwide and often surfaces obscure or regional publications. If WorldCat turns up nothing, check the Library of Congress online catalog and then Google Books. For ebooks, search Amazon (using the ASIN) and Smashwords or Draft2Digital catalogs.

If those fail, the most efficient human route is asking on identification forums like Reddit’s r/whatsthatbook or the 'identify this book' groups on Goodreads—post a photo of the cover or a short quoted line. Librarians and long-time readers are amazing at recognizing partial memories. Also consider the possibility of a slightly misremembered title: try permutations like 'Onyx' plus 'North Shore' or 'On the North Shore' in searches. If you can grab an ISBN, barcode, or publisher imprint, that will likely give you the exact author immediately. If you want, send me whatever snippet or image you have and I’ll help vet the searches with you.
