Kindle Picks of the Week: Woody Woodburn

Not a free pick this week, but two great picks from a great writer.

Woody Woodburn.

Woody's first book was 'Wooden and Me" and now he has a second book out

His second book, is a collection of his favorite material, plus some new pieces.

Strawberries in wintertime are something I cannot recall from my boyhood in Ohio. This changed when my family took a Christmas vacation to Ventura in Southern California in 1971. I had never before seen the ocean in person; explored tidal pools at low tide; or chased a “grunion run” under a full moon’s high tide. And here is something else magical: fresh strawberries in wintertime! Driving from the farmer’s market stand back to the beach house where we were staying, I ate crabapple-sized strawberries by the handful, by the big mouthful, sweet red nectar dripping down my chin. The following summer we moved from Columbus to Ventura and strawberries became a year-round fare. Still, in my mind they have always remained a special treat in wintertime.

Order "Strawberries in Wintertime"

You can also hear a discussion between Woody and me from this week on my "Tech of Sports" show.

The Accidental Author - "Shades of Gray"

She didn't write "Fifty Shades of Grey."

The author of a book called "Shades of Gray" says her work is being confused with that of a chart-topping erotic fiction writer.

Susanne Jacoby Hale, an author based in Florida, says she has received emails, Facebook messages and phone calls from people thinking she wrote "Fifty Shades of Grey." "Fifty Shades of Grey," by British author E L James, has sold millions of copies and become a sensation among women drawn to the unbelieveable romance between a college student and a weathly businessman.

Do Ms. Hale a favor and order her book here.

A thriller from Alex Ford.

Have you accepted a 'friend request' when you should have clicked ignore? Do you really know all the people listed as 'friends' on your Facebook page?

What if they wanted to get close to you, just to hurt you - again.

His girlfriend is gorgeous and looking at the amount of friends on his Facebook page he’s very popular too.  So, when he sees a friend request from a Barry Taylor, he doesn’t understand why it makes him so nervous, he’s not sure he even recognises the name.

Eventually he forgets all about it, until the day he is forced to remember a past that was erased from his memory by a terrible accident.

Little does he realise that all the information on his Facebook page might make him a little too vulnerable, especially to a sociopath like Barry Taylor, who is intent on destroying David’s life – for a second time.
