Bio
Myra Hargrave McIlvain is an award-winning author and teller of Texas tales. Whether she is sharing the stories in her books, her lectures, or her blog, she aims to make the Texas story alive.
McIlvain's nonfiction books tell of Texas’ most famous and infamous historic sites and the tales of pirates, profiteers, philanthropists, and preservationists who colored the state with a broad and wild brush.
Recently, McIlvain found her true love, Texas-based historical fiction that traces different important eras in Texas, such as life in a small town in 1945, the last year of WWII.
A series called A GERMAN FAMILY SAGA opens in 1845 with the massive wave of German immigration and moves through the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the period leading up to Jim Crow.
McIlvain's latest historical fiction, THE KNOTTED RING, takes place during the early Anglo settlement in Texas.
A LONG WAY HOME opens on 9/11, but true to McIlvain's Texas roots, most of the action takes place in the Texas Rio Grande Valley.
