The Author
C.L. Stump is a storyteller dedicated to the intersection of history and the supernatural. His work, 'The Night Child Saga,' is a haunting exploration of rural New York and England in the 1840s, where mystery and sacrifice intertwine in a world of fine-silver crosses and forgotten promises.
Driven by character and emotional depth, Stump crafts timeless tales that blend historical detail with the emotional weight of family and sacrifice. His work is a tribute to the enduring hope that survives even the darkest of nights.
With Kristin as his first reader, Stump finds a unique blend of handwritten drafts and digital form. Together, they bring the world of James Ailing and Anna Davis to life, one chapter at a time.
