Hawk-Flight1

Claire Banschbach was born and raised in Midland, TX, the fourth of eight children. She was homeschooled through high school and is now a proud member of the Texas A&M University class of 2014. She is currently working on her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Texas Tech Health Sciences Center. An avid reader of Lord of the Rings, Narnia, and many other adventure novels, Claire was prompted to begin writing her own fantasy novel at seventeen after several years of daydreaming. She started writing for personal enjoyment but when she shared it with sisters, it took the added dimension of writing for an audience. She continues to write in her spare time (and often when she doesn’t have spare time). When not scratching out stories and homework with pen and pencil, Claire partakes in the joys of watching the Boston Red Sox, Aggie football, playing volleyball, and reading any book she can get her hands on. She is thrilled by the opportunity publishing presents and hopes it challenges her to develop her writing abilities even more. She hopes her strong foundation in God will help to guide her writing.
