Alan Chin is an American author.
He writes novels (seven published), short stories (one anthology being published in 2014) and screenplays. Most of Alan’s work deals with gay themes, and cover a wide
scope of genres. He published his first novel, Island Song, in 2008. Alan and Herman Chin (born August 18, 1953) spend half of each year in Palm Springs, California and the other half traveling
the globe. Together since 1994, they celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2014. In 1999, Alan changed his last name from Hurlburt to Chin so that they could share the
same family name. They were legally married in California in 2008. Music has a hold on their lives. Alan and Herman met at the San Francisco Opera in 1994, and fine
music is a love they share, something that brings them closer together. They have traveled to over fifty countries over the last fifteen years, and have attended
concerts and opera performances in most of those countries. “Our other passions are writing, hiking, and competitive tennis, all of which we share.”
