Quills and Frills-9/20/2014 Josh Olsen

It has been a long time since Josh Olsen has put out his last book.  I enjoy the first one immensely and even participated in a blogradio interview with him about it years ago.  Olsen's fiction is very real.  These things could happen to any of us and do.  What makes the stories great coming from him are a sense of comedy in which he is able to laugh at himself.  He understands that no one is perfect.

Josh Olsen's second book of fiction is entitled Such a Good Boy and is available through Amazon.com.  Olsen published this book himself through Createspace, but don't let this deter you from buying it.  Olsen does not frivolously publish material but saves it up for when the time is right and socks it to you.



This book is 98 pages for $8.54. Come on.  You can't even get a burger for that price anymore.  We will be ordering ours this week and look forward to the zany thing that happen in Josh's family and his mind.  Here is the synopsis on his store site:


"Josh Olsen is back ... and this time it's personal. Maybe a little bit too personal, in fact, if you ask his mother. Olsen's sophomore effort is a grab bag of candid flash fiction, self-deprecating personal essays, and subversive pop culture musings that (warning: cliché alert) make the ordinary extraordinary and mine the humor, darkness, and resplendence of childhood, parenthood, and baseball cards."
