CL Stegall is the author of modern speculative fiction novels and short stories and holds a manifest aversion to bios. His work ranges from Young Adult (the Progeny series) to Urban Fantasy (the Valence of Infinity series) to thrillers such as The Ordeal, White Sands, and the new web series, CHURCH: Defining Moment. His short stories have been published in such anthologies as “Past the Patch,” edited by horror author Brian Fatah Steele and “Twice Upon A Time” from Bearded Scribe Press. He is the editor of (and contributor to) the novella anthologies 4POCALYPSE: Four Tales Of A Dark Future and 4RCHETYPES: Modern Interpretations of Classic Horror. He has also served as editor for numerous short stories by other authors and enjoys the process as much as the results. An occasional speaker at writers’ conferences and workshops, C.L. loves to share his knowledge and experience with other writers. C.L. is a fan of sci-fi and fantasy in all their forms, a lover of carrot cake and a former military intelligence linguist. He lives in Plano, TX with his lovely Wife and two dogs who think they run the joint.
