We fear what we don't understand, and those who we are ignorant towards: Seek understanding.
Who's A.J. anyway? And why should I, like, even care?
A.J. Hanlon is an author and grade-school teacher based out in Alberta, Canada--for now. With a lifelong passion for literature, a significant part of my professional vocation lies in instilling an appreciation for reading, writing, and expression of creativity in the students I have taught.
When it comes to my writing, I combine diverse interests in horror, fantasy, and situational comedy and shape them with experiences from my own life. Buying this novel supports cancer research. We are all affected at some point or another by it.
Into the Forgotten: This Is Nowhere is my first publication, as well as the first book in a forthcoming series. Look forward to Into the Forgotten: Little Dancer to follow, and other titles also. An introvert that's always seeking adventure, that's why I like books, I guess?

The Into the Forgotten series will take you into your deepest fears, those percolating questions which haunt the hollows of your soul, and into your own unknowns . . . but it makes you remember, also, that you're only human.
INTO THE FORGOTTEN: THIS IS NOWHERE
About the Book:
Lux Littleton is a brilliant young woman studying in the field of quantum mechanics, and even though she seeks to understand everything about the unobservable universe, nothing can prepare her for the absence she is about to face: the sudden death of her little sister. It’s not long before a cloaked, sunken-eyed figure appears at the edges of her consciousness—the same figure that her sister described seeing just before she died. Thus, while grappling with overwhelming grief and stricken with guilt over her connection to the tragedy, Lux embarks on a journey that both harnesses and defies the laws of science. Using her knowledge of physics—and with the support of her good friends and a burgeoning love interest—she goes to all lengths to make contact with her sister, whom she believes is trapped in an unknown dimension of terror. But the deeper Lux goes into the realm of the forgotten, the closer she gets to the dangerous shadows that have torn her life apart.
