​Thomas Lloyd Qualls is a writer, a condition that is apparently incurable. He is also a storyteller, podcaster, and the former owner of a music festival, as well as a former copywriter, a licensed attorney who has overturned two death sentences, and a one-time vagabond who used to wander the globe with a backpack and three changes of clothes. What he means to say is that he is a human being who, so far, has done all these things. He’ll probably do more things not on this list. 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.” His second novel Painted Oxen has earned seven literary awards, including the Landmark Prize for Fiction, a Silver Nautilus Award, and the award for Best New Fiction at the American Fiction Awards. Happiness Is an Imaginary Line in the Sand is his third book. With all of his creative work, he seeks to bridge the worlds of literary and spiritual and to blur the lines between what is real and what is imagined. He also strives to create worlds where labels are difficult to affix. He loves Pablo Neruda’s poem Too Many Names. Thomas lives in the high desert beauty of Northern Nevada, along with the children’s author Lynell Garfield and their son.
