John (J . W.) Woodward has lived in several areas in the eastern United States, but the place he calls home has always been in the beautiful mountains of southwest Virginia. He enjoys writing alongside Tammi, his wife of almost four decades, nestled in a cozy cottage.


John loves his family of three grown children and several grandchildren, and is always advising them to enjoy the journey of their lives and treasure the small moments together. He is an avid reader and enjoys amateur photography, with his wife being his favorite subject to capture in the lens.


John has always had a passion to write, and is excited to debut his first novel, Every Picture Has a Story to Tell, after a small detour of forty years in the business and finance industries. He is living his mantra to never give up on your dreams!
