Ms. Olson started her fiction-writing career five years after her father's 2007 death from Alzheimer's disease. REQUIEM FOR THE STATUS QUO, is inspired by her years of dedicated caregiving during her father's dementia disease journey. If ever there were an occasion to make lemonade out of lemons, the author's caregiver experiences certainly qualify. REQUIEM was a Finalist in the prestigious 2018 National Indie Excellence Awards contest. For more information about the author's current projects, please go to www.babyboomersandmore.com.

AlzAuthors declares, "We can sing a lonely song, or form a choir and create harmony." Ms. Olson lives in Washington state with her husband, 3 daughters, a grandson and a granddaughter.
