JK Savoy has always learned by doing. He has been a corporate executive, a restaurateur, and — yes, really — a pilot for Robert Vesco, the legendary fugitive financier. Barely old enough to vote, he ran for political office.
Then came the chapter he's least likely to put on a résumé: living as an urchin on the streets of Brooklyn, where he survived by trading loose joints for food and favors — a long way down from a prior life of privilege. That stretch ended when he built the celebrated Brooklyn moving company, Kenny The Mover.
He has written four novels — Somewhere in Brooklyn, And Then There's Lily, Night Bird, and In The Wind — along with the short-story collection Short Stack, and a new novel, As Told By Time, on the way.
By the way — Savoy no longer lives on the street.
JK Savoy is an author of irreverent Brooklyn fiction, memoir-driven novels, and short stories shaped by work, risk, reinvention, and street-level human comedy.
His books include Somewhere in Brooklyn, Night Bird, And Then There's Lily, In The Wind, and the short-story collection Short Stack.
Eighteen short stories are available free on this site, each with a clean reading page and links back to the book it comes from.
The books are listed on the Books page, with links to the Amazon author store and individual Amazon book pages.
