    John Savage

    John began his writing career in 1969 with an article written for Barbara Behr of House of Milan. But before he began writing novels, he was the photographer and editor of several B&D magazines with such titles as “Best of Bondage,” “Taskmaster,” “Bondagemaster,” and the politically incorrect “Teenagers in Bondage.” (None of the models were underage, despite the title.) In the early 80’s he edited, wrote for and photographed a magazine series called “John Savage’s Notebooks.” These long-ago magazines today command a high price, if you can find them.He has worked with Barbara Behr, Bob Bishop and F.E. Campbell, well known names in the B&D field. It was through his friendship with Frank Campbell that he became involved in the writing of B&D novels. Frank was considered the most prolific B&D novelist, credited with 100 books written for HOM. As Frank became older and had trouble typing, he began dictating books on audio tapes. John Savage then transcribed those books to computer disk for the publisher. Then came a time when Frank no long wished to write. At that point John began ghost-writing Frank’s novels.After Frank’s death, John began selling novels under his own name to House of Milan. He also wrote for Sandpiper Press, Olympia Press and Bon-Vue, all being published as paperbacks. With his computer background, it was an easy switch to ebooks when they became popular. He is currently writing B&D novels and occasionally non-B&D books under a different penname. As of this publication, he has a total of 140 novels to his credit.As to the man himself, he was born in 1943, is married, has two grown children and (so far) three grandchildren. He is a Viet Nam era veteran. Before taking up writing full time, his main career had been in computers, ranging from programmer to systems analyst. He still programs computers and enjoys it. He has a B.S. and an M.S. in computer science. Today he lives in Solana Beach, California, with his wife of forty-three years, enjoying his hobbies of astronomy, fishing and fast sports cars and, of course, writing.

      Dedication

      This little book was originally written as a family keepsake. I have been talked into releasing it as an ebook.

      A terrifying life changing near death experience left me in an almost vegetate state at the age of fifty. After some eighteen months of hospital treatment I was sent back out into a world I no longer liked. Not long after that I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I had always looked after myself but this disorder was quite debilitating, and even though different specialists had explained to me what was happening, I still really struggled.

      Not long after that I met a lovely lady. Her name was Jan and we got along really well.

      Although I had a passion for fishing I had not done any for years. Image my surprise to discover that Jan not only enjoyed fishing but travelled the world to do it. She had caught piranha in the Amazon, Zambian tiger fish in Zambia and giant cod and ling in Canada and Alaska. I was not even in her league.

      Jan had a way of talking that always relaxed me. Even in my darkest times I always ended up feeling better after spending time with her. Two years later we married.

      I doubt very much that this book would have been written if not for Jan. As a matter of fact I doubt I would even be here if not for Jan.

      So to my beautiful wife....I tell you every day I love you. Let me say it once more.... I love you and I thank you.

      John Savage.

      Preface

      I am John Savage, I am not an author. I have never written anything larger than a shopping list prior to this book. I don’t know what a noun is. I don’t know what a verb is. I have no writing skills what so ever.

      I have always struggled with life and in my younger days I was described as A difficult child.

      In 1963 at the age of 13 I ran away from home and got myself a job on a fishing boat in the north of Western Australia. A couple of years later I came back to the city and started an apprenticeship in the building game. It was a 5 year apprenticeship in those days.

      From the age of 13 I have always been employed and looked after myself.

      As an apprentice I always had two jobs. As soon as I knocked off from building work I went straight to my office cleaning job. This work ethic followed on through all of my working life.

      This book has a special meaning to me. I don’t care if it sells or not. The fact is ... I wrote it in my own words for my family. I did not know what an ebook was 12 months ago.

      There are huge amounts of gold still hiding in the ground. Technology
