Description:
Allison O'Malley just
graduated from college. Her life's plan is to get a job and take care of her
schizophrenic mother. She doesn't have room for friends or even Ethan, who
clearly wants more.
When Allison's long-lost
father shows up, he claims he can bring her mother back from the dark place her
mind has sent her. He reveals legends of a race of people long forgotten, the
Tuatha de Danaan, along with the truth about why he abandoned her mother.
Five
Facts about The Forgotten Ones Part 2
By
Laura Howard
1. In the first draft
of The Forgotten Ones, there were all manner of fantastical creatures such as
faeries, pixies, and ogres. One of my editors told me to consider changing that
to keep it from feeling too cartoonish.
2. I started writing
the prequel to The Forgotten Ones, which tells the story of Allison’s parents.
It takes place in 1991. How awesome would that soundtrack be?
3. The Queen of Tir na
n’Og, Saoirse, got her name from the star of The Host, Saoirse Ronan. But her
character is heavily based on Galadriel from Lord of the Rings.
4. When I started
writing The Forgotten Ones in 2009, there was no such thing as “New Adult”. I
had no idea that novels with characters between ages of 18-23 were taboo in the
publishing industry back then.
5. I drew little maps
of the inside of Allison’s and Ethan’s houses while I was writing the first
draft of The Forgotten Ones.
About
the Author:
Laura
Howard lives in New Hampshire with her husband and four children. Her obsession with books began at the age of 6
when she got her first library card. Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley High and other
girly novels were routinely devoured in single sittings. Books took a backseat
to diapers when she had her first child. It wasn’t until the release of a
little novel called Twilight, 8 years later, that she rediscovered her love of
fiction. Soon after, her own characters began to make themselves known. The
Forgotten Ones is her first published novel.
