About the Author

Fran Gilliland, artist, writer, and avid history buff, lives in South Texas. A relentless researcher for page and canvas, she draws from a wellspring of inspiration for writing from frontier pioneers she was privileged to know…her great-grandmother who homesteaded as a bride in 1880 Texas, her grandmother who ranched with her husband in the 1912 Texas Panhandle, and her mother who traipsed her great-uncle’s ranch in Indian Territory, Oklahoma, part of which Fran inherited. The experiences of these forebears greatly enrich the stories in her novels…Voices on the Wind, Cibolo Creek, Morning Wolf, and Will McGovern.
