* The name is slightly incorrect. There might be a slight misspelling in the name, and a different author shares a similar name.
* The author is less known. It's possible they are a lesser-known author, possibly specializing in a niche genre.
* You may be thinking of a different person. It's possible you're confusing this person with another author.
To help me find the right information, could you please provide more details? For example:
* Do you know the author's approximate time period of writing?
* Do you have any information about the genre they wrote in?
* Is there anything else you know about the author or their work?
With more information, I can try to find the right "Robert Owen Noakes" for you!
