Clayton Trier brings the authenticity of a Texas native and the storytelling insight of a successful entrepreneur to his fiction. As someone who lived through the transformative decades of the 1960s and ’70s, he crafts narratives that capture both the turmoil and promise of this pivotal era in American history.

When not writing, Trier channels his entrepreneurial spirit into building businesses and supporting community causes, demonstrating the same attention to detail and human understanding that characterizes his fiction. His passion for the rock & roll music of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s infuses his writing with period authenticity, while his commitment to community service provides deeper insight into the social issues his work explores.

Today, Trier lives in Houston with his wife Virginia, where they take pride in their two children’s careers as math teachers—a fact that reflects their family’s commitment to education and positive social change. Between rounds of golf and community service, he enjoys creating memorable moments with friends and family, always with a good glass of wine and an even better story to share.
