Mr. Jack Gets Published

Word Smithy Gets Pithy With Bio!

The Honors program at my University has accepted a piece I wrote for inclusion in their annual artsy-smarty publication. The piece is 'Cyndy the Cybrarian' and you can find it in the achives of this blog under the heading 'Hey, ALA!' Below you'll find the short bio I hope they'll include...

Jack McCracken is a 50-something library science student planning on attending graduate school next year. He has written thousands of television and radio ads in a broadcast career that spanned nearly 20 years. After ten years as a TV journalist, he left broadcasting and eventually spent nine years as a gear-jammin' big rig driver. Despite all the years of professional writing, the piece included here is his first published work. He currently makes his home in Vancouver, Washington, but hopes to 'retire' to a cushy library job in Hawaii.

My motto? Truth is funnier than fiction!
