about me

W. Jack Savage
I am a retired broadcaster and Associate Professor of Telecommunications & Film. I now write full time, every day. I self-published a collection of my short stories some years ago entitiled Bumping and Other Stories. Half have since been published in both online and print magazines. I'm currently shopping two of my novels.
