Available NOW! My 232-page novel that’s also part memoir.

This is only my second novel so holding this book in my hands is very emotional. This book has been a long time coming but now it’s real and I’m so excited to be able to share it with you.

Synopsis:

Riddled with guilt over the death of his father, high school graduate Mike Collins spends his last summer at home disquieted by thoughts of leaving behind his mother and first love as he prepares to depart for college.

Unbeknownst to him, Mike will soon meet his musical hero, Chris Steele, whose perspective of life will teach him to believe in the possibility of second chances.

Filled with rich imagery from the 1980s, “Beyond What We Know” is a coming-of-age story exploring life’s obstacles, the music and the machinery, while illuminating the power of friendship with the
metaphysical transcendence of the unknown, and an ending you’ll never see coming.

Praise for “Beyond What We Know”

“The plot has a surreal element I wasn’t expecting, and that added something extra to an otherwise grounded story. I won’t spoil it, but it gives the book a feeling that’s somewhere between realistic fiction and something a little more speculative. A thoughtful read with a nostalgic tone and a lot of heart.”

Couldn’t Put it Down

“The book teases its unusual nature from the start and keeps you guessing.
I couldn’t put it down. I read it over the course of a busy three-day weekend.
It left me wanting to hear a bit more about how the characters turned out, but for now, that is… Beyond What We Know. Wood’s writing style makes for an easy read and I appreciated the detailed storytelling as the sights, sounds, sensations, and scents of each moment were brought to life to propel the plot forward.”

Loved This Book!

“This book kept me enthralled from start to finish, it was very hard to put down. The struggles Mike went through really made you think about your own life. Just when I thought I knew what was about to happen there was a twist and Oh boy what an ending. Loved all the references from the 80’s.”
