edit data

Marynell Autry is the 88-year-old author of the Hillbilly Bone Series based on the history of the Autry family in the Ozarks of Arkansas and the Ouachita Mountains of Oklahoma.

Hillbilly Grit spans 1898 to 1933 through the Dust Bowl, Prohibition, and the Great Depression. Trash Man, second in the series, focuses on 1933 to 1952 and is set in Oklahoma and Texas.

Novels scavenged from a city dump adjacent to a childhood home in the Texas Panhandle introduced Marynell to adult fiction at the age of ten. She lives in an old farmhouse built in 1937 near the location of most of Trash Man. A devoted junker, she is always on the lookout for trash to treasure and stories to tell.

Quotes by Marynell Autry (?)

“A door closed in the hall. The thump of a cane on a wood floor and the rustle of skirts drew nearer till the women entered, always a wonder, how hard they were at the bone, how tender to the ones they loved.”
― Marynell Autry, Hillbilly Grit: A Novel Based on Family History

“Dora had not imagined herself a widow at thirty-one. Men died in accidents, in fights, in wars. They fell to influenza, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. Rattlesnakes and copperheads. Rusty nails and gangrene.

But her husband had
gone berserk and set himself on fire.”

“The horses snuffled and pawed, creaking their harness as their wintry breath streamed out to be plucked away by the lowering wind. Clouded light slipped below the tree line and the gray sky darkened to old pewter.”
