SMALL MATTERS: A YEAR IN WRITING

"Collection of essays and short fiction celebrating the suburban mindset, but also displaying its limitations..."

Kirkus Discoveries

“This is a rare book of essays...perfectly crafted...As for Woodward’s writing style, it can soar, it can dazzle, and it can quietly surprise…”

iUniverse Inc.

"Glimpses of the life of a California town are the hallmark of this small but worthwhile book. Author Woodward, a former columnist with the Los Angeles Times Claremont-Upland Voice, has assembled the columns from his eight-month tenure at the paper, and filled out his "year in writing" with brief personal memoirs, a poem, and short stories. The result is moving and telling...The elegance of Woodward's prose enhances his subject matter...this is a good book, well worth the reader's time..."
