Myra Hargrave McIlvain
Author biography
Myra Hargrave McIlvain has free-lanced as a writer of Texas historical markers, written articles for newspapers all over the country and for magazines such as Texas Highways. Her love of a good tale prompted her to write six nonfiction books about famous and infamous Texas sites and characters. Her most recent, Texas Tales, Stories that Shaped a Landscape and a People, is a collection of 113 of her favorite Texas history blog posts.
McIlvain’s new love is historical fiction, which includes Stein House and The Doctor’s Wife, both of which chronicle the development of the thriving German seaport of Indianola on the Texas coast. The characters in those award-winning books have returned in Waters Plantation an award-winning sequel that opens in 1875 post Reconstruction Washington County.
A Long Way Home is McIlvain’s eleventh book––the tale of a woman whom everyone thinks died on 9/11. Instead, she is living a new life in the Texas Rio Grande Valley.
Currently McIlvain is working on THE RUNAWAY SCRAPE, a sequel to THE KNOTTED RING
