About A.J. Hanson


Hi! I’m AJ Hanson (she/her). Thanks for visiting my site. I wear many hats and bear many labels, but I’m just another human searching for meaning.

When I’m not parenting, renovating, freelancing, reading, or at my day job (I’m a bit like a friendly bat—I work in a dark room and use echolocation to take pictures of human hearts while telling terrible jokes about physics), you can find me hanging out with my two skull candles (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern) at my writing desk and staring at the wall in the hopes that words will fall out of it.

I used to strictly write science-fiction and speculative fiction, but I’ve gone off into left field lately and I’m currently writing a gothic romance for the fun of it.

Respectfully, I acknowledge that I live, work, and play on the unceded ancestral lands of the Lheidli T’enneh in beautiful British Columbia, Canada.
