C.L. Thomas grew up in Southern New England in the 70’s playing outside every chance he could, and one of his favorites games was playing cops and robbers. Little did he know that as an adult, in the United Sates Army, and later for the City of Houston, he would get to play cops and robbers for real. On several occasions he would come home from work and tell his wife, “I would have done this for free.” For eight years, C.L. Thomas was a member of a tactical unit in one of the worst parts of the city. Working alongside five highly trained and dedicated officers, C.L. Thomas put his life on the line every day for the citizens of Houston.

C.L. Thomas has been writing stories since he was a sophomore in high school growing up in East Hartford, Connecticut. He brings his gritty work world reality to the pages of The Hollow, painting a picture of the world that very few people ever get to see.
