    Hinton's publisher suggested she use her initials instead of her feminine given names so that the first[11] male book reviewers would not dismiss the novel because its author was female.[7][d] After the success of The Outsiders, Hinton chose to continue writing and publishing using her initials because she did not want to lose what she had made famous[e] and to allow her to keep her private and public lives separate.[f]

    She resides in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with her husband David Inhofe, a software engineer she met in her freshman biology class at college.[8] He is a cousin of former Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe.[14]
