THE WOMAN IN THE SHIP
Full of vivid dream sequences, sapphic longing, and insightful philosophizing, this genre-bending adventure offers much to chew on.
Publishers Weekly
A strange, beautiful meditation on what remains after everything else is gone.
Literary Titan
A work as weighty as it is liberated and wilful in its creative language.
Compulsive Reader
An upbeat tale of the extinction of all the species, which makes it unique. At least I haven’t read anything like this before. The chapters are bite-sized, and like candy, you just want to eat one after the other. Having no idea where the story might go next just makes it even tastier.

THE GLORIOUSLY UNTRUE ADVENTURES OF SAPPHIRA
This is a very rare type of comic we would presume to call a “personality” comic, where the creator stars in an entirely fictionalized story with themselves appearing in an usually fantastic type of story. When done right it can lead to something quite special. Short review: Olson did it right!
Broken Frontier
A Really charming quality to create overall captivating art.
Comic Book News
A crazy, ethereal adventure that’s a fun read, to boot.
DownTheTubes
A triumph of creativity and honesty.

ANNA NEWTON DESTROYS THE WORLD
Startlingly original, like nothing else I've ever read: William Blake meets (a feminist) Douglas Adams. A very domestic apocalypse.
Jonathan Taylor
Wonderfully bizarre and unlike anything I have read lately, this book will leave you with so many questions, mainly about yourself.

ANDROID AUTHOR
It’s a rich, psychedelic experience, perfect for fans of Douglas Adams, graphic novels, and speculative fiction that is original and fun.

PARABLES
Places instantly familar & yet utterly strange. They are of faith, about faith and respect for queer intersectional identities. It's a wonderful crossover of sci-fi, philosophy, magical realism & insight written with a warmth and humour that reminded me of Jonathan Bac's work. Charming & profound, this is a perfect book for a Sunday afternoon when the mind needs to wander & a beguiling narrative aches to be found.
Gscene Magazine
Fascinating, imaginative and inspiring. Full of short stories, modern parables, taking the reader into tales of life, meaning, god, truth, existence, love, friendship and wine. Also beautifully illustrated. Definitely recommended.
UK Amazon Vine Review
The parables are at times uncomfortable, and that's brilliant, because it is also what Jesus did.
UK Amazon Review
There is a wonderful mix of beauty and hope and pain in this collection of parables.
USA Amazon Review
There is a loose thread running through this book; it is one of love and inner beauty emerging out of the mess and ugliness.
UK Amazon Review
Imaginative stories with provocative elements - a timelessness to the presentation.
CoffeeHouseContemplative
Each parable was surprising and insightful, funny and sometimes downright challenging.
I loved her tongue in cheek humor and subtlety.

STANLEY PARK
These are all beautiful poems, and some of them are downright gorgeous. I definitely recommend them.
Goodreads Review
Stanley Park is pretty fantastic, I loved the way the landscape and history of the place is woven through the poems. I also loved the way many of the poems touch on history and legends, none of which were familiar but all I found fascinating and engrossing.
The Book Lover’s Boudoir
I loved this poetry book about an lgbtq relationship. The language and words are so rich and enchanting. I was lost in this story!
Bookishaestha
This poetry collection both broke my heart and pieced it back together. I loved it.
ShansShelves
A beautiful set of poems.
The Bookworm
Olson writes passionate poetry that ignites that fire we all have inside of us. The emotion is rich, warm and gives you hope. Hope that one day you will experience a love so strong that it will be whispered among the trees and leaves in centuries to come.
Bunny’s Pause
A beautiful collection of poetry. Kept me reading with enthusiasm and intrigue, not only because of the pristine imagery, the hint of mythology and fantasy, the veiled politics, the sad and happy remembrances, but also because I, being such a romantic, I wanted to know if the two women, like the cliché says: lived happy ever after. Stanley Park is a book about love a book to be loved.
The Compulsive Reader
A story that will continue to thrum in the recesses of my brain. This collection of 35 poems draws a narrative thread that kept me turning pages and wanting to know more about these two incredible women. Olson combines a direct narrative approach with the rich woven storytelling of Squamish Nation legends. It is a powerful statement of how thin the veil is between the connective tissue that binds together humans with nature and emotion.
MookyChick
Mythological and supernatural elements are wonderfully infused into the poems. Reading this collection feels like stepping into another person's dreams and memories, because you'll see the world through new eyes and begin to marvel at how powerful emotions can be.
