Profile
Name: Olive Parsons (62)

Personal Claim to Fame: Publishing my first novel, which turned out to be a best-seller! You know, sometimes in life you wonder if it's worth starting again so late into it... you risk throwing away stability and everything you've worked for, for truly following your passions... and I'm glad I did it, because now I can retire off doing what I've always enjoyed doing.

Hobbies: Reading, writing, coffee, caffeine... tea...

Pet Peeves: People who bend pages instead of using bookmarks.

3 Words to Describe You: Perceptive, Creative, Persuasive

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I love stories, narratives, heroes, villains and all things creative, and I what better way to tell my story and be apart of something bigger and better than competing on Survivor? Sure, I risk being an early boot because I'm an older woman, but I'm going to give the producers an archetype they're going to WANT to revisit.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: If people can look past my age, I'm very cunning and persuasive. My job as an author is to make you believe in this world I'm telling you. I'm going to make you believe in my perception of Survivor.
