Dewey Olson is a fourth-generation Finnish-American, from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. His deep family roots in the Copper Country inspired him to uncover and retell one of its most gripping true-crime stories.

A descendant of the real-life families central to the events in Manifest Error, Dewey brings both authenticity and empathy to his storytelling; capturing the strength, perseverance, and moral resolve of the people who lived through one of the region’s darkest chapters.

When he isn’t writing, Dewey can often be found exploring Michigan’s historic mining towns or sharing stories about life, legacy, and the endurance of truth.
