Huston Piner

Huston Piner always wanted to be a writer but realized from an early age that learning to read would have to take precedence. A voracious reader, he loves nothing more than a well-told story, a glass of red, and music playing in the background. His writings focus on ordinary gay teenagers and young adults struggling with their orientation in the face of cultural prejudice and the evolving influence of LGBTQA+ rights on society. He and his partner live in a house ruled by three domineering cats in the mid-Atlantic region.

His first book

My Life as a Myth

was a 2013 Rainbow Awards finalist.

Conjoined at the Soul

won the 2015 Divine Magazine Award in the LGBT New Adult/Young Adult category. His first New Adult novel

Light in Endless Darkness

was also published in 2015.

In 2017, Huston signed with NineStar Press. A thoroughly revised and unabridged edition of

My Life as a Myth

was published on August 28th as the first installment of the

Seasons of Chadham High

series, and was nominated for 2017 Stonewall Book Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature. It was followed by

Conjoined at the Soul

, thoroughly revised and published on February 12, 2018, and

The Breaths We Take

, published on November 19, 2018. The stand-alone adventure/mystery

The Riddles of Mulberry Island
