Sheila Myers is a Professor at a small Upstate NY college where she teaches ecology. Myers began writing a trilogy on the family of the robber baron Dr. Thomas C. Durant, after spending time at one of the Great Camps built by his son William, in the Adirondack wilderness. She completed this trilogy and published Imaginary Brightness (2015) Castles in the Air (2016) and The Night is Done (2017). The Night is Done won the 2017 Best Book of Fiction Literary Award from the Adirondack Center for Writing. Her most recent novel, The Truth of Who You Are set during the Great Depression in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was published by Black Rose Writing in April 2022.
Essays about her research have been published in the Adirondack Life Magazine, The Appalachian Club Magazine, and the History News Network. In addition, she has been a special guest on the History Author Show podcast, Based on a True Story podcast, and the History Channel.
She likes to venture out into the wilderness, swim in lakes, climb mountains, and make the occasional trip to a cemetery to find inspiration. Human failures and passions are always good starting points for a plot and there is plenty of that to go around.
