Alex Woodard lives with three horses, two dogs, two chickens, and two beautiful humans on a small ranch near the California coast.

His first novel found an early supporter in Woody Harrelson, who said, "Ordinary Soil brings to haunting life the desperate realities of the American heartland, but also offers a glimpse into a better future . . . a call to action for all of us."

His nonfiction For the Sender book, album, and concert series has garnered praise from Huffington Post ("important, enlightening, and ultimately inspiring"), Deepak Chopra ("a beautiful tribute to the resilience of the human spirit"), Dr. Wayne Dyer ("an inspiring, thought-provoking, and life-changing work"), and Billboard magazine ("one of the year's most touching, unique releases"), among others. Alex has also toured nationally behind several critically acclaimed albums, earning a few prestigious industry nods while sharing the stage with some of his heroes.

Analog Sun, a sequel to Ordinary Soil, is his second work of fiction.
