About Glen Olson

GLEN OLSON grew up in the San Fernando Valley, a suburb of Los Angeles. He would have had an absolutely normal childhood except for one fact: it was the nineteen sixties, and his best friend’s father worked in cold war aerospace . . . and the friend's father owned a mimeograph machine. So along with a dog, bicycle, and baseball mitt, Glen and friends had access to a device that allowed them to put out a neighborhood newspaper— and they shamelessly did so! 

  This encouraged his lifelong love of writing. In his next career Olson became a paramedic for a fire department where he had several roles, including   disaster preparedness educator, inspector, and captain, writing training manuals by day and fiction by night.  Today he is a fulltime writer, the author of three books and working on a fourth (and fifth).
