Myra McLarey

 Myra McLarey grew up in southwest Arkansas listening to porch stories in the community where she was raised. Years later, while doing course work on a doctorate in history, she conducted research in African-American history, concentrating, particularly, on Southwest Arkansas. An award winning teacher, she has taught in public high schools, in a private high school, in community colleges, in two MFA programs (Emerson and UNH), at Vanderbilt’s Owen School of Finance, and at Harvard. She currently lives in Nashville, TN, where she has discovered how hard it is to write a good country song.
