About R. K. Olson

R. K. Olson is a multiple award-winning short story and novel writer in the pulp, western, horror and sword & sorcery genres. He started writing after a successful global technology career that had Bob working on every continent but Antarctica.

 

He has published a dozen short stories, many including his popular sword and sorcery character, Dar the Spearslayer. 

 

No longer a nationally ranked triathlete and competitive swimmer, he still musters up the gumption to race and sometimes surprises himself. Bob lives and writes within a bike ride of the Atlantic Ocean in the New England region of the United States. Check out Bob’s Facebook page: Facebook
