About the author
Brian Olsen
18 books43 followersI’m a writer living in New York City. I primarily write science fiction with a sense of humor, though I veer into fantasy and the paranormal from time to time. I believe strongly that fiction shapes reality through its influences on and engagement with readers, and as such I’m a proponent of diverse representation – all of my works feature a broad array of queer and POC lead characters.
I’m the author of The Future Next Door, a contemporary urban science fiction comedic thriller series in four parts, Multiverse Mashup, an ongoing genre-bending adventure series, and Yesterday's Magic, a young adult contemporary fantasy series. I’ve also written a couple of shorts and a number of plays, sketches and monologues for the stage.
I’ve been a theater person for most of my life, as a playwright, actor, director and producer. I got my MFA from the Actors Studio, so if you need someone to cry on cue, hit me up.

I would give a 2.5 to this book. There was literally no connection between Chris and Zane in this book. Hell, I think Jennifer got more talk time than Zane! He had no character development, no exciting quirks, and no personality.
Extremely disappointed with the way it ended as well. If Chris had done what he had promised then I would have been happy. God forbid, muln. I hated his character as well. It was lifeless until needed to make the plot go forward.
