Karlyle Tomms is a writer who grew up in rural Ozarks poverty. He completed his master’s degree in 1981. He has written for different regional magazines and newspapers over the years. He often is selected to speak at professional and non-professional events and radio talk shows. However, he had never published fiction until completing his first novel in 2014. His general method for fiction has been to define a character and allow that character to tell their own story from a first-person perspective as though the character is writing an autobiography. Through his characters, he explores the psychology of the human condition and the various elements and entanglements of personalities. His novels incorporate the social and historical influences surrounding the lifetimes of his characters and are stories of overcoming social, emotional, and spiritual challenges.
