Goodreads asked Loren A. Olson:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Loren A. Olson The best part of being a writer is hearing back from a reader who says, "I feel like you know me." So often, My readers believe that they come to my books for answers, but in fact, what they come for is to feel that they are not so alone. Pain envelopes them and they come for some hope.

I write with a conversational tone so that readers find it easier to related.

One of the best blurbs I've received for my new book, NO MORE NECKTIES:

Olson manages to tell his stories in a way that will help you see yourself and those around you with more compassion and care. Grab a cup of coffee and a slice of banana bread for what feels more like a conversation with an old friend than a book with a beginning and end.
