I'm Brian W. Woodward, and I'm inviting you into the colorful tapestry of my life. As a Christian American author and a United States Air Force Veteran, my journey has been as diverse as the roles I've embraced, from crafting cabinets and designing kitchens & baths to navigating the beautiful chaos of raising a fantastic family for over three decades. In the ebb and flow of life, you'll find me cheering on baseball games, casting a line into freshwater streams, and losing myself in the rhythmic hum of woodworking. And, of course, there's the joy of writing, a passion that has gradually become the compass guiding me through my experiences.Over the past 61 years, I've built not just cabinets but a foundation of love, sharing more than half of those years in a marriage that's been nothing short of a beautiful adventure. My wife and I have been blessed with four incredible children, who are now adults, each adding their unique hues to the canvas of our family story.When I'm not lost in the world of lumber and design, you'll likely find me surrounded by the serenity of the outdoors, accompanied by our lovable dogs and cats. The animal kingdom has been a constant source of joy, grounding me in the simple pleasures of life.My literary journey is fueled by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickinson, and Louis L'Amour, shaping my love for historical fiction, Western tales, and the beauty of poetry. Each story, each poem is a reflection of the experiences that have colored my world, a world I'm eager to share with you.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
