Eileen Gibbons Kump, writing under the names Eileen Kump, Eileen G. Kump, and Eileen Gibbons, is the author of numerous short stories.

It is considered possibly the finest LDS historical story written. She has published several stories in BYU Studies, Out of the Best Books, Western Humanities Review, and Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought. She is also the author of Four and Twenty Blackbirds (1974) and Mission Widow (1985).
