William Dylan Powell

William Dylan Powell is a Houston-born author with a knack for telling Texas stories full of color, character and humor. His books roam the backroads, city streets and hidden corners of the Lone Star State, shining a light on the people and places that make Texas feel like home—especially Houston, with all its grit, charm and larger-than-life history. From nostalgic journeys through time to off-the-beaten-path discoveries, Powell connects past and present in a way that’s lively, approachable and unmistakably Texan. His work has won over locals and newcomers alike, offering a richer, more spirited sense of place. Powell lives in West Houston with his wife, Stephanie, his two dogs, Bertie and Ollie, and a cat who doesn’t really care for him if we’re being honest. The author of 14 books, he’s also an award-winning writer of mystery fiction.
