C.A. Stampley is Christan from a small town in Texas, where he lives with his amazing wife, four kids, and two dogs. For C.A., his faith is the most significant part of his life, and he loves spreading the good news of Jesus to anyone willing to listen. He loves hearing people's testimonies and telling his. C.A. loves all art forms, from music to movies, drawing, painting, and books. C.A. grew up with a wide range of music, his dad listening to rock and his mom listening to gospel, while his sister only jammed country. Then, as he grew, he fell in love with hip-hop, rap, emo/screamo, heavy metal, and alternative. And it wasn't much different with T.V. and movies, his parents loving westerns, his mom obsessed with soap operas and Hallmark movies, his sister willing to watch anything. He is a big fan of Anime and Manga; some favorites include Rurouni Kenshin, Yuyu Hakusho, and Blue Spring Ride, and he loves Japanese culture. He loves gaming and grew up playing video games his whole life, from the Super Nintendo to Gameboys to PlayStation. A few of his favorite games are Jak and Daxter, anything Pokemon, and Skyrim. All of this worked together to create the man he is today with a love for how diverse and different art can be even in the same areas. C.A. Stampley loves character-driven stories with beautiful world-building and wants to produce this in his writing. He feels a character should be what drives the stories. The character's perspectives and emotions should draw us in and help us relate to the character and what is happening, which is why he is a big fan of fantasy and science-fiction novels. Some of his favorite authors are Brandon Sanderson, Neal Shusterman, Mary Higgins Clark, Katherine Applegate, and J.K. Rowling.
