About the Author
Railey Jane Savage is an editor and artist and television enthusiast. She has a strong background in lm studies and an expensive English degree from Smith College, which has proven 100% worth the time, money, and agony that comes with a liberal arts degree. Savage loves her family, expects her sisters to take over the world, and lives happily with two ill-behaved cats in Ithaca, New York.
