Calif. realconversations FireCaptain fantasyauthor disasterprep author marinebiology GroundhogDay FEMA CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN — WE THE SPECIES Hosted by Calvin Schwartz Meet GLEN OLSON; “Modern communication, Zoom, lighting, thunder, and online authors’ groups always fascinate me, as does meeting Glen nearly a year ago in Bold Authors Network, founded by best-selling author, Kae Wagner. There we were, Glen and I. Little boxes on a Zoom screen separated us. Once or sometimes twice a week. The boxes kept moving, changing our view. Never had a conversation. But admiration for his author’s journey and Southern California life. Then universal alignment. We chatted on Zoom two weeks ago to get acquainted. I was in awe at Glen’s journey. Several times from the heart, I said there is a movie to be made about his life. He’s wonderfully eloquent, charming, brilliant, worldly, and knowledgeable beyond. Of course, this interview was born. Some elements and words now. As a kid, a friend had a mimeograph machine (see Animal House). Glen begins writing a newspaper. Marine biology. Meat cutter. Los Angeles Fire Department paramedic, captain, disaster preparedness. Manuals for FEMA. Motorcycling the country in 1976. Scuba diving. A brave new world. Glen discussed the Implicate Order (David Bohm). Look it up. Now he’s writing futuristic novels. Loved the cover of ‘Tears of a Thousand Years.’ He loves Groundhog Day. Me too. Be curious. Not judgmental. He stressed the importance of always having a ½ tank of gas. “Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.” I loved that quote from Glen. He’s coming back here for the ‘Desperate Endeavor’ release. As good as it gets.” Calvin ?️ 820+ Interviews & Videos; 5 ½ years (AI-ranked podcast in these categories in the top 1 -2% Globally!) ? 9,480 Subscribers — and growing ?

Amazing People. ** From Fire Captain to Fantasy Author; GLEN OLSON & Tears of a Thousand Years; LIVE from So. Calif. YouTube: BIO: 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, Glen became a paramedic for a fire department. As part of his medical background, he took training as a lay midwife. In the fire dept he had several roles, including disaster preparedness educator, inspector, and captain, writing training manuals by day and fiction by night. Glen is a trained scuba diver and has toured the continent on a motorcycle. Today he is a fulltime writer and all of his experiences tend to wind up on the pages of his novels. He is the author of three books and working on a fourth (and fifth).
