ⓘ About Jack Womack

Jack Womack is a bestselling science fiction author that is best known for the “Ambient” series of novels. But he only studied for a year and dropped out and enrolled at the University of Kentucky where he only lasted for a fortnight. He would then drop out and head back to Transylvania where he spent six months and quit education altogether as he moved to New York. It was while he was living in New York where he worked in a library for four years and in bookstores for twelve years that she began writing his novels. But even though he has now become a renowned science fiction author, he still does not read much in the genre as he prefers to read nonfiction.
