Two hard-hitting international adventures, sprung from the darkest corners of the mind of globetrotting author Henry J. Olsen.
First, follow a day in the life of Kim Min-su — average student, teenage smoker, and victim of bullying. He's done well to handle the intense pressures of South Korean culture thus far. But when adversity mounts, how will Min-su respond? Find out in "Above Average: The Tale of Kim Min-Su."
Then, step into the shoes of Kenji Nakamura, the newest employee at Shin-Sekai Digital. Kenji wants to do right by his company and his girlfriend, but, as he delves deeper into the underbelly of Tokyo business culture, his loyalties begin to tug him in opposing directions. Can he survive a crazy night in the world's capital of weird? Discover the dark side of Japan in "Kenji Nakamura × Tokyo."
Like all successful authors, (soon-to-be) bestselling author Henry J. Olsen writes what he knows.
Henry knows adventure. He's backpacked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. He's scaled the summit of Mt. Fuji. He's braved the Black Omen.
Henry knows technology. He's been surfing the net since his dad brought home a 9600 baud modem. He graduated college with a degree in Mathematics.
Henry knows the world. He's lived in Japan and Korea. He enjoys foreign books, comics, and games before they're translated.
Henry knows conflict. He and his editor are forever at war over which of his words will appear in print. Though the deletions are mounting, Henry sincerely hopes this war continues for decades to come.
Henry currently writes, eats, and sleeps in southern Taiwan. You can follow him via his blog, simplyunbound.com.
Bullies is the black sheep of my releases to date. I have vague plans to take these two stories and re-release them together with other similarly themed tales.
