Press Kit

Frederick M. Hueston writes like he talks, direct, honest, and with a wink. He is not just a stone forensics pro with more than 30 technical books under his belt like Marble & Tile: The Selection & Care of Stone & Tile Surfaces and Stain Removal Guide for Stone, he is also a storyteller who invites readers along for the ride. 

There is My Heart Journey: Waiting on a Heart, a brutally honest, often funny look at what it is like to wait for a transplant, to linger in limbo for 87 days, and to somehow find humor even when hooked up to every machine in the room. Then there is The Layman’s Guide to Transplant Drugs, because once you have been through it, you want to help others make sense of the mess of meds after a transplant. 

And yes, he wrote a novel, Small Beach Town: Secrets Beneath the Lake, a thriller with plenty of small town drama once you scratch the surface. Add in One Quarter at a Time: Surviving and Thriving at the… which is part impulse buy confessions and part survival guide, and you will find it is not what you expect but will make you laugh. He also wrote I Flunked English in High School, And Now I’m a Writer, because sometimes the best way to tell your story is to admit how badly you started. 

Fred lives in Florida with his wife, Jeri, and their sassy Chihuahua, Honey, who supervises his writing sessions. He is not here to sound fancy. He is here to keep things real, share what he knows or what he has been through, and maybe make you laugh while doing it.
