Kaki Olsen

If prompted, Kaki Olsen can talk for hours on storytelling, classics of speculative fiction, world travel, or the Red Sox. Boston-raised and BYU-educated, she is three decades into her devotion to hobbits, Jedi, and good reinventions of classic themes. Her first novel, Swan and Shadow, was published in 2016, but she writes academic papers on pop culture for fun. She cohosts A Sacred Fellowship, a podcast deep-diving into classic speculative fiction, and works on her next project from her home in northern Massachusetts.
