Hats off to you, ladies and gentlemen!

[Kevin Noel Olso]

Greetings ladies and gentlemen. I apologize for not posting in the proper area for an introduction, but I failed to ascertain exactly where that might be. My name is Kevin Noel Olson, and I write pulp-style adventure fiction and children's literature.

I am a fan of what I consider 'pre-atomic' pulp fiction and comic book heroes, The Shadow being arguably one of the most recognizable. I love pre-atomic sci fi and horror films, and great old films in general. I have an extremely odd desire to date either Louis Brooks or Veronica Lake. It is an odd desire given that they have long since passed on and I am married. I also love noir films.

I do have a fedora purchased years ago with the intent to use it in a Shadow costume. It worked with great effect. I have a slouch hat with a wider brim and a top hat. I love them very much, but have to admit to not wearing a hat on a regular basis of any kind. If I were to do so, my black fedora would be the hat of choice.

This is not meant as an 'ad' and I hope no insult is taken at posting these here, but here are links to some of my more recent published works:

Pulp fiction:
Secret Agent X: Volume 2

Children's:
Eerey Tocsin: Book 1
Entopia

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to a long and rewarding interchange here!

Best,
Kevin Noel Olson

By the by, the tie-tack I am wearing in the picture is from the 1939 World's Fair at Flushing Meadows in New York City. I know it's not visible, and it wasn't expensive, but I'm proud of it! My last name is actually 'Olson'. I failed to type in the final 'n', but there it is.

Welcome aboard, K.N.O. I look forward to reading your work. I'm sure you'll recognize the avatar.

 

[J.T.Marcus]

Welcome, Kevin. Be warned. If you hang around here much, you will cultivate an insatiable desire to wear more hats!

 

[tonyb]

Heed JT's warning, Kevin. You get into the habit of wearing a lid and you feel naked without one.
Gotta love that town of yours, by the way. For my money, it's among the best the country has to offer.

Welcome to the Lounge Mr O.
As I have quoted Jerry Jeff Walker before
"the man in the big hat is buying"
so pull up a chair and I hope you enjoy your stay!

Welcome, Kevin. Be warned. If you hang around here much, you will cultivate an insatiable desire to wear more hats!

Very well said, J.T. That is so true!

 

[Kevin Noel Olso]

Oh yes, I recognize your avatar. Makes me all giddy! I know that some men admire unattainable women, but with Louis being dead she's extraordinarily out-of-reach!:eusa_doh:
Thanks for the welcome and hope your reading enjoyment is immense!

Thank you, J.T. I do not think wearing more hats would be a bad thing, really.

I will heed the warning, Tony. I even hope it comes true. Yes, I do love this town o' mine, and agree with it being among the best in the country in the best country!
