Author
C. L. Tolbert
Born in Toledo, Ohio, C.L. Tolbert moved to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi as a young girl. She earned a Masters of Special Education and taught for ten years before enrolling in law school at the University of Mississippi. Licensed in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia, C.L. practiced law for thirty-five years, concentrating on insurance defense, and corporate litigation. She also had the unique opportunity to teach at Loyola Law School in New Orleans where she was the Director of the Homeless Law Clinic, and learned, firsthand, about poverty in that city. In 2010 C.L. won the Georgia State Bar Association's fiction writing contest, and developed the winning short story into the first novel of the Thornton Mystery Series, Out From Silence, featuring the Emma Thornton. In 2021 C.L. published a follow up novel, The Redemption, a mystery set in New Orleans, which Kirkus Reviews called an "engaging and unpredictable whodunit." In 2022, the fourth book in the series, Sanctuary, was published. Kirkus Reviews featured Sanctuary in the April, 2023 edition of Kirkus Reviews Magazine, calling it, "A well-plotted nail biter with believable and sympathetic characters." C.L.'s love of New Orleans and murder mysteries continues in The Legacy, the fourth book in the Thornton Mystery series. C.L. lives in Atlanta with her husband and schnauzer, Yoda. She has two children and three grandchildren. The experiences and impressions from the past forty-five years contribute to the stories she writes today.
