About John Olander

Nicole Huguenin and John Olander, Denver CO

John Olander, known to his friends as “Johnny O” is “a self-employed change-maker” currently living in Denver Colorado. He has been “on a camping trip” for over ten years and understands life on the streets better than most. Yet this hardship has not made John bitter, only better. Nearly every day when he is not engaged in a search for food or shelter, John is helping others on the street.

WANT AD

“Want Ad” is part of a short-story compilation called 12 TALES coming soon on Amazon as an eBook. 12 TALES takes place over 12 months, a story for each month, with one central hub, Sadie’s Diner (“Thin Threads.“) We’re pledging 50 percent of the profits from the sale of Twelve Tales and 100 percent of the profits from ELANTHIAN LOVE SONGS to the purchase and shipping of artist packs for homeless creatives. Special thanks to “Johnny O” (John Olander), Denver poet, artist, photographer and change-maker, for the critical review of “Want Ad” and encouragement. ♥
