When I heard through the grapevine that Gregg Olsen wanted to do a "progressive" interview I had an adverse reaction. I mean come on, who really likes progressives right? I mean they always come along and want to try new things, like there's something wrong with what's always worked, right.

But fine, whatever. I'm hip. I'm down with the 411. I can be progressive too.

But seriously. Gregg's new novel, A Cold Dark Place, is out today and like Johnny Appleseed spreading goodness throughout the land he wants to take you on a cooks tour of the interweb. Different sites and blogs will all be hosting a question in this progressive interview. So enjoy my portion of this yellow brick road while you are here and make sure to follow it all the way through by clicking on the link at the bottom as there are a lot of great questions asked.


There are a lot of people who share your name. Do you guys have an annual picnic for Gregg Olsen's held each year in a secret location where you all gather and swap stories? I heard a rumor once from a guy who claimed to cater one of these events, he told me that there is some dissension among the ranks of the "Olsen conspiracy" (his words), apparently the group has split into two factions based on one G or two G's in the first name. Do the single "G's" really think that they are better then the double "G's" or has the upstart coup d'état been squashed?


Double Gs all the way, Brian. The picnic is amazing, by the way. We eat gregg salad sandwiches and wash it all down with spiked gregg nog.

Honestly, I have often wondered why it was that my mother was too cheap to buy the rest of my first name. Gregory Olsen sounds so much better to me. More professional. You know? It is so strange to Google your name (which I do about ten times a day) to find out that you've ridden in a space ship, painted a godly work of art, or pitched a great baseball game.


Next, head over to The True Crime Web Log where Steve Huff claims to not make any assumptions about Gregg's inspirations (but we all know he really does) and we hear about Gregg's TV that eats stories.
