C.L. Stambush
Storyteller. Seeker. Speaker.
My Beginning
I grew up in Southern Indiana in the 1960s surrounded by lush nature and vibrant women. They filled my life and imagination with stories, a legacy I’m honored to carry on. My journey as a writer began with trips to the library. I wrote my first book–bound in pink yarn–when I was 5 years old. It was about a lost chick in search of her place in the world. It’s a story I’ve been writing, in one form or another, my whole life.
My Role Models
Storytelling is in my DNA. I learned the art of weaving tales by listening and learning from my mother and grandmother. The two most important women in my life.
My Inspiration
My mother and grandmother taught me the need for storytelling in the world. But my father said the ten little words. They planted a seed in me and changed the course of my life. “You can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone you want.” It was those words taht led me to one day ride a Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle solo around India.
