She attended Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, and received a B.A. Degree in Art and Education. She later received a Masters of Education Degree from Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas. She married Bob Hilton and together, worked in the Texas public school system for the entirety of their careers. They have three children, Steven, Suzanne and David, all of whom are now grown, and six wonderful grandchildren. Now retired, Evelyn and Bob live between Brownwood and Bangs in the beautiful northern hill country of Texas. Evelyn is an avid artist, as well as a writer. She has always loved to travel, and, aside from frequenting Mexico, has visited Canada and even Japan. When she is not writing, drawing illustrations for her books, or painting pictures for friends, Evelyn is traveling with her husband and enjoying their grandchildren. Annabelle and the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900, Evelyn Hilton's second book and the sequel to her first book, Kidnapped by Pirates, is told from the perspective of a porcelain doll, Annabelle, who has been bought for Laura by her brother, Ben. During the first week of September, 1900, a massive, unexpected hurricane prowls into the Gulf of Mexico and heads straight for Galveston Island. Laura's family must find a way to survive this deadliest storm ever to hit America. In a most unconventional escape devised by Ben, the family survives, to rebuild their lives. This account is based on the true story of the monster hurricane, which killed over seven thousand people and virtually wiped Galveston off the map. More importantly, this tale provides the reader with insight into the brave, frontier men, women and children, who settled the Texas coastland and, despite extreme hardships, paved the way for future generations.
