Welcome to Gregg Olsen, our guest for Murder HE Writes. I was lucky enough to “meet” Gregg on-line, and we became fast friends. Partly because he writes AMAZING books — both dark, twisty psychological suspense and dark, twisty true crime. Partly because I became his mentor through International Thriller Writers. But mostly because Gregg is one of the most genuinely nice guys you’d ever meet. You’d never know he writes about murder, mayhem and the macabre. And for those of you with YA’s in the house (or those like me who enjoy a good YA thriller) — Gregg also has a bestselling YA supernatural thriller series. (And, he’s often a commentator on the news related to true crime stories.) Enjoy Gregg’s fascinating (and scary!) blog. ~ Allison

The first serial killer that I’ll mention here was the inspiration for Fear Collector my latest thriller.
