Brenda Woodas | Author

Brenda Woodas writes with close attention to the details that make people and their stories feel real. Drawing from both lived experience and imagination, she is interested in the choices people make, the relationships that shape them, and the secrets, uncertainties, and ordinary moments that can change the course of a life.

Her writing is conversational and emotionally grounded, inviting readers to look more closely at what people reveal, what they conceal, and what they leave behind.

Brenda lives in the Midwest with her husband, Andy, and their two dogs, Charlie and Margo. She enjoys spending time with their daughter, Abby, traveling, golfing, cooking, and sharing new experiences with the people she loves. She also volunteers with Charlie as part of a therapy-dog team.
