After extensive travel through Europe and the United States, Myers worked for the New York World and San Antonio Evening News.
Myers lived "in the chaparal cock country north and east of Mesa, Arizona, within visiting range of our two daughters".
At Arizona State University he had taught writing, conducted a writers conference, and assembled Western Americana for ASU Libraries.
Myers' best-known work is the literary fantasy novel Silverlock, published in 1949, which was reprinted in 1966 by Ace Books, and again in 1979 with forewords and accolades from Poul Anderson, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
