Who I Am

Austin S. Huber made his rounds in literature as a kid, reading children's and young adult fiction or, in a somewhat unfortunate way, having an obsession with Calvin and Hobbes, which inspired more than a few moments of bad behavior. Even worse than this, as a kid, he made for a bleak observer of what books can actually do. This means he didn't have the first clue about the scope of a story's potential, thinking of them more as fun little objects to pass the time with. When he eventually became a teenager--owing to nothing more than the inevitable arrow of time rather than actually growing up--he began crafting small stories, no better than fanfiction or clear nods to Lord of the Rings. And yet he carried on this hobby until he realized that he had a substantial story in the mix. Austin began writing down the details of the story and world in notebooks, and even more, spent his time writing words, poems, and short stories which will never be released, until he's either passed away or at the very end of his rope. And his fascination with the craft began to open his eyes to the limitless boundaries that books and writing can deliver to the world. Graduated from college now, he has not a single published work other than a short roster of small poems in literary magazines. But the unpublished works he has melding together, stewing like a foundry of metal and carrots, amount to what will be several full-length novels, collections of poems, experimental books and more.

Austin wants it to be known that his first novel is expected to be complete and ready for beta-reading in early 2026.

He also wants it to be known that the idea to put his middle initial in his pen name was his friend's idea, not his own.
