Thomas Lloyd Qualls is a writer, a condition that is apparently incurable. He lives and writes in the high desert beauty of Northern Nevada. His award-wining second novel Painted Oxen was released on April 2, 2019 by Homebound Publications. The novel has been awarded the 2018 Landmark Prize for Fiction, as well as several other awards.
 
His debut novel Waking Up At Rembrandt’s received national critical acclaim. The Midwest Book Review called it “an impressive debut novel showcasing an undeniably talented and imaginative author.” And Writer’s Digest wrote, “The range of creative effort on display here is a bit breathtaking…a skilled writer with an appealing way with words.”

He is a former copywriter, a licensed attorney who has overturned two death sentences, and a one-time vagabond who regularly wandered the globe with a backpack and three changes of clothes.

With all his projects, he seeks to build bridges between people and to inspire curiosity about each other and this beautiful crazy world. You can follow his trail of words and his other misadventures at www.tlqonline.com [2].
