Smith was born in Eveleth, Minnesota and grew up in Baraboo, Wisconsin.
She was for a time friendly with the philosopher-novelist Ayn Rand, who was her leading literary and philosophical influence. Smith launched her literary career after her separation from the Ayn Rand circle. Her first novel was the mystery story The Watcher.
Smith"s Catching Fire is set in the world of the New York theater, with an anti-trade union political stance.
Mindspell centres on the conflict between science versus religion, with Nolte Smith stating this fiction was written "to challenge strongly the belief in the occult". Her novel Elegy for a Soprano is a roman a clef inspired by Rand, Nathaniel Branden, and the circle around them.
Elegy for a Soprano also portrays the life of Jewish Holocaust survivors from Czechoslovakia and Norway. She published seven novels before her death from cancer at age 61.
