A native of San Antonio, Texas, C. W. “Clint” Stevenson resides there with his wife, two sons, and their retinue of furry companions. In 2023 his story “Island of Avarice” won first place in The National Fan Federation Short Story Contest. His work can be found in over dozens of magazines and anthologies. When Clint isn't reading or writing, he's spending time with his horde of family members, going to renaissance festivals, eating Mexican food, working his day job in sales, or wrangling his sons. With several short stories pending release in 2025, Clint is hard at work on his first novel and a novella. His debut short story collection "Lost Lambs: Tales of Darkness" is coming August 21, 2026, published by Baynam Books Press.
