Famous for Nothing?

This book is not about fame.

It’s about what happened in my life, what I did, places I went and people who were important in those events.

This title is just my quirky sense of humour covering for what I considered to be a lifetime of little achievement.

It’s not what I achieved that defined me, but what I became as I navigated through what life threw at me.

Consequently, I’m famous for being the best version of me that I can be, hence the question mark in the title.

the ends don’t meet

The Ends Don’t Meet is a wonderful collection of verse and short stories by Wood, who shares his most intimate life experiences.

“I love the people I am meeting through what I am doing.

I love that I can write something that hits home for someone and helps them understand something in their life. I hope that people will come away feeling good about themselves when they read my poetry. I want them to realise that yes life can be a sewage farm at times but on the outskirts of the sewerage farm there is a large garden.”
