Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Hannah E. Church took an interest in making up stories at a very young age. With her older brother Henry and her innumerable stuffed animals, she spent her childhood weaving complex stories of peril, love, politics, tribal conflict, family, dictator takeovers, smugglers, despicable villains, fantastic adventures, and a television show hosted by a rather fat hamster. Eventually she began trying to actually write down her stories. Years later, her notebooks and computer were filled with countless beginnings of works of fiction. Even if actually finishing her stories isn't her specialty, she will continue to write until the day she dies.
