Laura Caldwell Biography
Laura Caldwell is a Lawyer-turned-Author-turned-Life-Saver. She is a former civil trial lawyer, now Distinguished Scholar in Residence at Loyola University Chicago School of Law, Director of Life After Innocence, published author of 10 novels and 1 nonfiction book (to date), speaker, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend.
With novels published in over 22 countries and translated into more than 13 languages, Caldwell had left the law behind, or so she thought. Research on her 6th novel led her to the criminal case of Jovan Mosley, a young man sitting in a Cook County holding cell for over 5 years without a trial.
Compelled by his story, Caldwell joined a renowned criminal defense attorney to defend him, ultimately proving his innocence and inspiring her first nonfiction book, Long Way Home: A Young Man Lost in the System and the Two Women Who Found Him (Free Press, Simon&Schuster).
By working with Mosley, and witnessing his intense struggle to assimilate into a now foreign and unfriendly world, Caldwell became keenly aware that while many programs are available for ex-offenders after their release, the innocent in most states receive no assistance.
As a champion for the innocent, Caldwell was moved to create Life After Innocence, an innovative and first of its kind program that aids exonerees--people who have been wrongfully convicted and later found completely innocent--to begin their lives again and reclaim their rights as citizens.
Caldwells fictional work began in the chick-lit genre, and she soon turned to writing mysteries and thrillers, most recently focusing her attention on a returning character, Izzy McNeil. The series has received critical acclaim and nominations for prestigious industry awards. Laura Caldwell is also a freelance magazine writer and has been widely published both domestically and internationally.

Smart. Sincere. Engaging. Passionate. These are just three words to describe Laura Caldwell and her presentation to 300 school administrators at our annual leadership conference. She emphasized how "Small decisions could have big results" as she described how she became involved in defending Jovan Mosley for an unjustified murder charge. Jovan's harrowing story was the subject of Laura's non-fiction book, LONG WAY HOME. Her message was right on target for the audience, who have the power to impact their students' lives every day. An added bonus was that Laura brought Jovan with her. Jovan helped Laura tell the story - HIS STORY. There wasn't a dry eye in the house as they wowed the crowd with their story of cruelty, justice, and an unlikely friendship. Laura is a very special person. Any group would be inspired this gentle soul who just wanted to make things right.

We certainly enjoyed having you in Iowa City and sharing with our University of Iowa alumni and students your story and journey from attorney to writer. Introducing Jovan after your reading and having him also sharing his story meant so much to those in the audience; I wish the bookstore could have had many more of your books that night!
The University of Iowa Alumni Association - Jun 01 2011 -
Both the audience and I thought you were the perfect speaker: entertaining, eloquent, informative, humorous, self-effacing, intelligent. By sharing your early development as an author, you connected with the audience in a kind of "everywoman" way; the audience, in turn, responded to your warm and humorous "trials and tribulations" with affection. The story behind Jovan Mosley and the Life After Innocence program was riveting, and I'm sure the audience came away with a better idea of how the legal system works - and doesn't. All in all, both your individual talk, and later "panel" with Michael Harvey couldn't have been better. We at Willard were proud to host you, and would love to have you back.

I am so grateful that you were a featured speaker at our live show. The audience feedback I've gotten has been tremendous! Without exception, your name is mentioned as one of their favorite speakers on the panel. You were intelligent, inspiring and thought-provoking. You are so comfortable in your own skin, and relay your story with such honesty and humor. Thank you so much for helping to make our show such a huge success!

Laura Caldwell served as the invited speaker for The University of Iowa Honors Convocation, as well as for our top-ranked Nonfiction Writing Program. Laura is absolutely captivating as a speaker. The students in our Honors Convocation Ceremony found her engaging and inspiring. She shared both passion and insight about the craft of writing with the UI Nonfiction MFA students. Laura infused her remarks with both humor and intelligence â two key elements to a great talk.
