| ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mel Savoie wanted to write novels for as long as he could remember, but life intervened. Life in the form of a twenty year stint in the Air Force. While in the service, he married Phyllis Davy and together they raised two sons, Mark, and Kurt. After a tour in North Africa, he was assigned to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations where he served as a Special Agent conducting criminal, counterintelligence, and security investigations in the US and later, Korea. He wrote and edited hundreds of investigative reports, biographical sketches, and contributed articles to numerous USAF publications. After retiring from the Air Force, he earned a BA with honors at the University of Maryland. From there he received an appointment as Chief of Security for the DC Public Library System and a few years later advanced to Security Chief for the Federal Reserve also in DC. After too many years of cold winters in the north, the lure of sunny Florida called and he and his wife moved lock, stock, and barrel to Central Florida where they opened a restaurant in a charming two-story colonial home in Sanford. But after two hard years of seven day weeks the excitement of owning their own business had disolved. That's when he finally began writing novels. THE PRACKTL AFFAIR was published in 2002 by The Lighthouse Press, Inc., of Deerfield Beach, Florida. His second novel, PIECES OF SAND was published in January 2003 and both are available in bookstores or can be ordered directly from the author. His third novel, NOBODY GOES TO THE MOON ANYMORE. will be published in the later part of 2003. |
