What is Hello, My Friends?

Hi, I’m Oleg! An author, librarian, and a few other things. I live near Los Angeles with my wife Ashley (also a librarian), and two kids (Michael and Sophie).

If you like having coffee with an entertaining colleague, then you’ll like Hello, My Friends. Conversational, wide-ranging, occasionally funny (if you like dad jokes), the newsletter is 10-minutes a week of parenting anecdotes, book talk, very short stories and, rarely, sumo news.

If you’d like to know what I’m up to outside of HMF, check out my Now page.
