Alan Chin is a published author of adult books. A published credit of Alan Chin is Island Song.

At birth I was christened, Alan Lewis Hurlburt. I was raised in San Jose, California where I enjoyed an undistinguished childhood. After graduating high school, I served four years in the U.S. Navy where I practiced the trade of aircraft mechanic. I attended San Francisco State University, studying the field of Data Processing, and afterwards enjoyed a twenty year career working my way from computer programmer to manager of several software development groups. In 1991, I went back to night school and years later graduated from the University of San Francisco with a BS in Economics and a Masters in Creative Writing. In 1999, I retired from Information Technology to devote all my time to my three hobbies: writing, traveling, and tennis. During that same timeframe, I legally changed my name to Alan Chin, so that I could share the same family name as my husband, Herman Chin. I turned serious about my writing in 2002, and began working on my first novel, Island Song. While preparing for the publication debut of that novel (Sept, 2008 by Zumaya Publications,) I completed a second novel, The Changi Lover, which will also be published by Zumaya Publications in 2009. I am currently working on a third novel and a collection of short stories. I live and write half of each year at my home in Northern California, and spend the other half of each year traveling the globe.
