About the author

Alex Woodard has toured nationally behind several critically acclaimed albums, earning a few prestigious industry nods while sharing the stage with some of his heroes. His first novel, published in late 2023, was an IPPY Gold medal winner and 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's second work of fiction, Analog Sun, is set for release in Fall 2025, and has already earned accolades from thought leaders including triple-board certified Zach Bush, MD. A leading educator on human and planetary health, Dr. Bush found the book to be "stunning, with a twist I didn't see coming. Analog Sun is the perfect antidote to our digital overwhelm...and a beautiful invitation to a more meaningful, joyful life."


Alex lives with three horses, two dogs, two chickens, and two beautiful humans on a small ranch near the California coast, where he logs as much water time as possible. While he's stepped away from social media, his stories and music can be found at alexwoodard.com.

Short story that basically tells about life BEFORE the digital age…by various people who happen along and HELP a stranger who appears to be lost.

For a good part of the book it just wasn’t resonating with me, but towards the end it ‘kind of’ picked up and started to make more sense… and then like a puzzle, all the pieces just CLICKED!

If you’re looking for a short read with a lot of hidden meanings (and agendas…) this might be the one for you!!

#AnalogSun by @AlexWoodard and narrated beautifully by @ScottBrick.

This one has already been released, so look 👀 for it on shelves now!

3 1/2 stars for me, rounded up to 4! ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this audiobook!

The narrator did a great job, with a pleasant voice, good articulation and just enough emotion to not feel monotone, but also not exaggerated.

Sadly, the story itself just didn't do it for me. I really don't see why this story is called a fable, and I'd say about 80% of this book just felt pretty... random to me. At the end, you're starting to see what's up, but then the ending still isn't very clear (to me personally), and feels somewhat abrupt and lacking. The writing is alright, but nothing special, and I just didn't enjoy this work very much.

Finally, a book for people whose screen time reports make them question their life choices! Alex Woodard's "ANALOG SUN" is like digital detox in literary form—a short, sweet modern fable about a lost traveler who discovers the revolutionary concept of... going outside.

Our protagonist stumbles onto a hidden path that's somehow managed to escape both WiFi coverage and concrete, which in 2025 basically makes it Narnia. What follows is a dreamy, occasionally chaotic journey that feels like what would happen if Thoreau had written "Walden" while his phone was dead and he couldn't Google "how to build a cabin."

Woodard serves up profound insights about our tech-addled existence without making you feel like you're being lectured by your most sanctimonious friend who "doesn't even own a TV." The writing has that floaty, atmospheric quality that makes perfect sense when you realize it was penned by someone living on a California ranch—because of course it was.

The book tackles the age-old question: "What if we all just... stopped checking our phones for five minutes?" Spoiler alert: apparently good things happen. Who knew?

At its core, "ANALOG SUN" is a gentle reminder that sometimes the best connection is disconnection, and the most important notifications come from birds, not apps. It's brief enough to read in one sitting (assuming you can resist the urge to check Instagram between chapters), making it perfect for anyone whose attention span has been thoroughly demolished by TikTok.

Bottom line: A charming little wake-up call disguised as a nature walk. Your WiFi router won't like it, but your soul probably will.

Recommended for: Reformed social media addicts, anyone who's ever said "I should really get outside more," and people who miss the days when "going viral" meant catching the flu.

Thanks to NetGalley for the audiobook copy I read of this book.

This review contains many spoilers, proceed with caution.

I think that Analog Sun is a modern parable about the consequences of the choices we make in life. Analog Sun feels like a re-telling of the Greek Mythology story of Charon.

Max is Charon, leading souls like Adam across to the after life. I think Adam died or was dying in the alley at the beginning of the book and this story is Adam making peace with his life choices and deciding whether or not to cross over into the next world.

Greg and Sara are all the “judges” that Max (Charon) leads Adam to. They all help Adam reflect on his choices and how they impacted him and show him what’s possible with different choices. The ending is Greg, Sara and Max sharing how they passed and became what they are and how their choices affected their lives. I also believe the ending is Adam choosing to pass, or change his life and come out of the stupor in the alley and live a different life.

Viewing Analog Sun as a modern Charon story makes me like it. I wonder if reviewers that didn’t understand this book missed the mythology connection? Maybe I’m reading too much into this one, either way, I enjoyed this book.

The audiobook was fabulous- the narrator was very good. The author did a very good job creating the characters and making the reader empathize with and mostly like them. In many parts of the book I felt like I was in the room with the characters.

I won this book through a Goodreads giveaway in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Greenleaf Book Group for choosing me.

I wasn't expecting much from this tiny book, and yet I was pleasantly surprised. It definitely gave me a lot to think about. Made me remember that it's never a bad idea to disconnect and stop and smell the roses. I'll be thinking of this story for a long time to come and I'll be sure to disconnect and live in the moment more often than not.

Thanks for the reminder, I guess a lot of us needed it. Especially now, when most everyone is glued to their phones as they go about their days. A beautiful message embedded in a tiny, yet powerful book.

Thank you Alex Woodard, publisher, for allowing me to audibly read and review Analog Sun on NetGalley.

Narrated by Scott Brick (Excellent)

Published: 11/18/25

Stars: 2.5

Scott Brick was a fantastic choice as narrator.

As far as the book goes, I was lost and confused as well as intrigued by the writing. Of note, throughout the book interludes of music play adding to my scrunched brows.

Recommend for the narrator. Perhaps the story will make sense to you.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in audible format. While the narration was excellent and the book itself was well written with a meaningful premise, the storyline just didn’t grab my attention.

It follows a man named Adam, who has struggled with addiction. After hitting bottom, he finds himself on a rehabilitation journey during which he travels across California and connects with others who help him find solace in the beauty of nature—realizing that by releasing himself from societal pressures, he may have the ability to recover a meaningful life.

While this book wasn’t for me, it was a short story with thoughtful messaging and may resonate with others.

[zinikornis · Rating 3 out of 5]

FIRST OF ALL, I would like to thank NetGalley and the author for the opportunity of reading this book.
SECONDLY, please note that this is my subjective opinion. I believe each and every author has a right to and deserves fair, honest feedback from their readers, which I am aiming to provide. I adore every author's creativity, bravery and commitment to writing, finishing and publishing a work of art.

———

I started this book with confusion - but I thought okay, I’m confused when starting a new book often enough, that’s normal.

However, I kept on being confused thorough, mainly as to what is even going on here, and though I wasn’t as confused by the end, it didn’t impress me either.

I think it was a good book to read, and an interesting idea to write a short book about, but it didn’t blow my mind, as I suspect it was intended to do.

———

UPDATE: some time later, I'm still reminded of this book every now and again. I've come to the conclusion that even though this book was not for me, I completely understand why someone might like it, and even why someone might think it was an amazing book. For a more lyrically inclined reader, or someone who appreciates philosophical, contemplative, reflective texts, this could be a great read.

This book confused me utterly. Since it was short, and had high ratings, I figured it was on me, so I read it again. And here I am, still confused. I can't say much more without spoilers. But I walked away from it (twice) feeling much like I do after stream-of-consciousness novels, which is to say, feeling like I've wasted time I'll never get back.

[Cassie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Taking a detour from his brother's itinerary after their father's death, Adam finds himself crashing from his high, mugged, and discarded. No one could be more shocked than him when he finds himself not eternally in shadow but waking up to a 'Mama Bear' nurse who sends him to a friend's rehab on discharge. There he is faced with the painting of a wild herd of mustangs led by a youthful and spirited member. The energy spurs his own will to thrive. Consumed, he sets out on a spur of the moment to chase a feeling he can't quite name.

Along the way he meets series of helpers that take him on their own journeys as well as his own. Each have made their own escapes. All had a common chain holding them down. Can Adam break from his own?

Marketed as a modern fable, I'd argue this tale is more akin to the stories passed down generations in oral cultures. As one character implies, those fantastical tellings are not mythical but mediums of truth. Like in many of those types of stories, community and nature is at the heart of "Analog Sun".

I picked up this title because I adore the narrator and I appreciate a good short story. The author's name didn't click with me, so I was unaware that I had read his "Ordinary Soil" earlier in the year. I am always open to giving authors I didn't quite connect with another try. Unfortunately, this one didn't quite hit for me either.

Woodard crafts some absolutely beautiful phrases. He can really embody an atmosphere. The length and paced was the right size to tell the story he had in mind. Yet I was left with a sense of fragmentation. The book felt like snippets meant to make a statement rather than a gradual lesson or revelation.

I completely endorse the benefits of stepping away from technology, the very blunt message. But I don't find Adam's personal demons quite of the same variety as the characters who take him under their wing. I just don't see how it would solve his specific problems. Help his healing journey, yes.

You can argue that the urban areas have an abundance of opportunities for illicit drug use. As someone in a rural area that has a massive drug problem- being out on a farm isn't the exact solution. Nor is it always the always the safest place if one of his problems was potentially, as is almost randomly dropped in, about his attractions.

I always support artists combining their modes of creation. With no negativity towards the author's music, the integration of his song into this was awkward. The initial insert was fine, dealing with the story line of a musician. It was far more measured than in "Ordinary Soil" where half an album was played. It was the later scenes that I had the same issue as with the previous book. They felt written specifically to include the listening rather than letting the song accent the lesson.

"Analog Sun" has a noble message and is inclusive of many perspectives and philosophies in a respectful manner. It fulfills its promise of being a parable. There are parts that are gorgeously written. I simply think that this is just not an author that works for me overall.

[Debra C · Rating 3 out of 5]

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this ARC on audiobook.

I was originally drawn to this book by the book title and the cover. Both of which I think are great.

This is a short story about Adam who is described as a lost traveller. Adam has developed drug dependency issues and after hitting rock bottom, goes on a journey where he meets a series of people who helped him along the way. I was engaged in Adam’s story and interested to see where his journey went. I enjoyed the parts where Adam interacted with nature and animals and where he found people who were just willing to help others.

This is one of those books that you just have to go with from the beginning and see where it takes you. Parts of the story do feel like a fable that might be passed from one person to another over time.

From chapter 5 the story seemed to shift quite a bit. I felt less engaged from this chapter. I did start to feel a little bit lost and confused by which character was which because the narrator didn’t alter his voice in any way to distinguish between different characters.

I appreciate the author was trying to highlight the benefits of the analog way of life. As someone who was brought up in a world before the internet, large scale gaming and social media, I think some of the book's messages were less relevant for me personally. I appreciate what the author was trying to say with this story and I think this could be a more impactful story for different sorts of readers.

I really enjoyed the music/song that was included at points throughout the audio edition. This was a great addition to an audiobook.

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for providing an ALC of Analog Sun
by Alex Woodard, narrated by Scott Brick.

A lost traveler (junkie) wakes up bruised, broken, and confused in a strange alley—no phone, no wallet, and no idea how he’ll find his way home. Analog Sun follows his journey, unfettered by code and concrete, and reminds us of what’s possible when we trade the world we’ve built for the one that built us.

This novella was a weird fever dream of a story about how, if we don’t separate ourselves from our digital life, we won’t be able to recognize ourselves or anything for that matter, before we even realize it’s too late. The traveler goes from the I-5 to Route 66, to surfing in the Pacific, and eventually finding his way to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, he meets a cast of characters, with each providing unique life lessons, and he eventually realizes the mistakes he made in life, leaving him wanting more – if he gets a second chance.

This is a uniquely told story with excellent narration. The story itself was so trippy and fever-dreamy that I found it difficult to connect with. Due to the incredibly well-done narration, I would recommend everyone try this novella as an audiobook. Without the audiobook, I would have put this book down without finishing. Despite its short length, it was just too weird for me.

[Katelyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

thanks to netgalley for providing me with the audiobook ARC.

It was a decent little read, but the twist was so obvious from the first bit of dialogue that I wondered if it was trying to trick me and there'd be an actual twist, but no.
I enjoyed the main character and was rooting for him on his journey, and the group of characters he runs into along the way are interesting.
I know the technology/phone was kind of being used as an allegory for the drug addiction he faced, but it felt a little heavy-handed at times.

The narrator's voice was really nice, and I felt like it really fit for some of the side characters, but there were a few times I got really confused because a different character was speaking but his tone didn't change at all - he didn't try to add any sort of characterization to the dialogue. which, to be fair is better to me than when male narrators use really weird squeaky voices for female characters, but even just a change in intonation or tempo or something would be nice.

I also felt like the narrator's voice just didn't fit the vibe of the main character at all. I don't remember if there was a specific age given so maybe he's older than I thought and it does fit, but I assumed the main guy was maybe in his 20s. The narrator's voice was giving 40+ man who goes fishing and smokes a pipe.

[Renae Richardson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a story about a man named Adam—a traveler, a wanderer, a young drifter from Oklahoma searching for direction but somehow losing his way along the journey. A twist of fate brings him into the orbit of Max, a man cut from a very different cloth. Where Adam is restless and searching, Max lives by simpler methods, manners, and modalities—a man Adam comes to call the Analog Man.

Through Max, Adam learns lessons he never set out to find—quiet truths about life, presence, and the understated beauty that exists beneath the Analog Sun. Those lessons don’t just shape Adam; they awaken something in the reader, too.

The beginning may feel a bit elusive, even puzzling, but as the story unfolds, its rhythm deepens and the pace builds. What emerges is an unexpectedly enlightening journey—moral, philosophical, and deeply human. I found myself invested in the evolving bond between Adam and Max, eager to see how their intertwined paths would resolve, and what final wisdom might linger.

I was not dissappointed. By the end I felt like I had been on that journey with Adam. I left with a feeling of awe of how things unfold in life brigning us the people we need when the time is right to guide us to the greater truths of what we need to know in the moments we need them most.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

This is the first time that I have read anything by Alex Woodard, and I have very mixed feelings, as there was a lot to like, but ultimately I wasn't left feeling as much as I expected to at the end.

Beginning with the good: I really enjoyed the narrator, Scott Brick's, narration, which had a pleasing tone and style.

There were parts of the story that made me worry that the story was going to end up as an 'it was all a dream'. Thankfully it didn't, but I think my feeling of confusion to follow the story in places says something about the prose and its free-flowing nature. It ultimately wasn't for me, as I needed to rewind and relisten several times through what is a only a 3-hour listen.

The message was great and I loved how the wholesome nature of Adam's activities in the book translated directly across to the wholesome feeling I had while listening.

Ultimately, a great story with a powerful message and great narration meant that I overall enjoyed this book, but the unstructured writing style that rambled in places, wasn't quite for me, but I think I may be in the minority.

[Stacey Mckernan · Rating 4 out of 5]

At first I struggled to get into this book and there were times I was confused about what was going on. However, once I got into it more I found that this book reflects on addiction whether it’s drugs or an addiction to technology and social media. This is what life is like for the majority of us, We’re all addicted to something and could do with a simple life without these addictions.
It has left me in thought.

My final thought:
Analog sun by Alex Woodard is decently written and because I listened to the audiobook I thought Scott Brick was the right narrator for this short story. While it confused me at times and I struggled getting into it, I can say that it has been an eye opening experience and I’m leaving with a new sense of life hoping to give technology and social media a break and going outside and touching grass even if it’s just for a day every so often just to recharge and enjoy life.
I feel this is a 3.5 star.

Thank you NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ALC in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are my own.

[Jeff · Rating 2 out of 5]

“Analog Sun” has a great concept, but the follow through is, well, a bit odd. It felt like you were watching the author grow in real time from the beginning of this short story/novella till the end of it.

The beginning of it was convoluted. Too many words describing things. Almost as if you were in a beginner’s creative writing class. And then the writing gets better. It was odd.

The situation with addiction struck a chord with me since I have had many students and family members struggle with these issues. The justifications and excuses while they are hurting sounded familiar.

But then things change into an adventure of sorts.

This was not bad, but just, well, I said it before…odd. Maybe it would have been better to take some time and make it a full novel. It just didn’t feel like we ever fleshed anything out.

Scott Brick does a great job narrating this story. That is the best part about this experience.

The lesson I learned from this book…. GO OUTSIDE!

I enjoyed this. It reminded me a number of years ago when I moved away from concrete to an area that doesn’t have street lights. Many look outside and see brown. I look outside and see no concrete and the vast of nothing and it’s beautiful. The author did a wonderful job of gently reminding us that all the technology that is supposed to “help” us, may actually be hurting and potentially controlling us. He did this without lecturing.

The narrator was listed as Scott Brick. I’ve never listened to any of his work before, however I can see he’ll be narrating a few larger “big releases” in the next few months. I enjoyed his style and have no complaints.

My only negative was the beginning had me a bit confused as to what was happening and why. I feel like I needed a bit more. I’m so glad I stuck with it because I did enjoy the book. But had this not been an ARC, I may have dumped it.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. This was an awesome novella.

[Julie Eikey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Analog Sun isn’t going to be everyone’s vibe — it’s slow, meditative, and sometimes pretty raw. But if you’re someone who likes a quieter story that sits with big themes, this one has a thoughtful, emotionally honest core. It digs into modern life, addiction (in more ways than one), identity, and what it really means to find your way back to yourself.

For me, the book was interesting in how it approaches self-rediscovery: technology vs. nature, addiction vs. redemption, chaos vs. clarity. It’s all there. But I’ll be honest — parts of it were confusing. I enjoyed the internal debates and the philosophical moments, but the lack of deeper character development sometimes left me more puzzled than grounded.

Still, the underlying message hits home: sometimes you really do need to step away from the nonstop buzz of modern life, put the phone down, and literally “touch grass.” It’s a good reminder for pretty much all of us.

If you do the audiobook, Scott Brick’s narration is excellent — definitely a highlight.

Thank you NetGalley & the publisher for the advanced copy of this audiobook.

(2.5 Stars)

Thank you to #NetGalley for making this book available to read and review.

This book is for people who like to say they are "Spiritual, but not religious". The whole things is like a stream of consciousness essay equating the addiction to drugs to the "addiction" to technology and being connected.

It all wanders around aimlessly through flashbacks and memories teasing some great enlightened payoff, or grand plan, that just never really quite delivers (at least for me). I didn't hate it, and I really do love nature and trees and all that, but I also don't subscribe to the "feel the grass" movement, it is all about balance.. but this is about the book, not me. The book fails to prove its point without a lot of special pleading and haranguing.

The audiobook narration is very well done, and the song played throughout the book is nice. reminiscent of early Midnight Oil.

🎧3⭐️

A short novella read by Scott Brick who is usually a favourite narrator for me, and a big deciding factor on choosing this book. But I wasn’t keen on his narrating style on this one.

Ok so this is a modern fable. So there’s always a moral to a fable. I wasn’t totally sure that I discovered it here, it felt very disjointed.

I found the stylisation of the prose overly awkward and complicated so listening and deciphering what was being said took effort. I don’t want to have to make effort. At times I felt like I was in the middle of some drug fuelled hallucination.
I liked the inclusion of the songs.
I’m not sure about the ending either I’m a bit confused to be honest, it wasn’t clear for me, I didn’t like it when the reader is left to interpret the ending.
It waxes lyrical, but I’m afraid that wasn’t for me.

I picked up this book as an artist release copy on netgally. And I am floored . I wish I had the words to make you want to go out and get this book. I am not an author merely a reader.
Alex Woodard a musician / author or author/ musician however you want to see him. Either way his words flow from like the most beautiful music . That is a lot to take in as far as a description.
but his new book Analog Sun about a man who must choose his course in life. We follow Adam on his journey. A series of people who care for him, abandon him , and even try to save him until the truth is revealed to him. Which makes for great reading .
But the whole story is a twist. A great twist and definitely worth the read . The book is really short the audio format is only a couple of hours long. So the page count should be low.

[Steven Finkelstein · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is described as a fable, and in many ways, it lives up to its billing. It’s a relatively short story, and at first glance, it might appear to be a simplistic one. However, this slim volume contains multitudes. The characters are evocative, as are the situations in which they find themselves.

If you’re looking for a moral to this tale, it’s probably that the modern world has led many of us to be detached from what’s really important. This kind of story serves as a refreshing reminder of what we should be most focused on in this life. This is a contemplative, deliberate narrative that will make the average reader think and perhaps examine their own life to question what might be missing from it.

🎧Audiobook review🎧

It just goes to show how tastes differs, I picked up this audiobook as friends rave about the narrator. To me the narration felt rather dramatic, effusive and over enunciated, but I managed to get past that.

Analog Sun sees a lost traveller waking up battered and bruised, he’s got some choices ahead, and he’ll be guided by some of characters he meets along the way.

It is quite odd, it felt likes a collection of scenes rather than a flowing narrative. Other reviews mention the reveal or twist, but it was hardly surprising having read variations on it in plenty of other books.

Not one for me, although there are positive messages to take away from it.

Thanks to Netgalley and Alex Woodward.

With thanks to the author, publishers and NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

This book delivers a clear and positive message, in that people generally need to take a step back from technology, embrace the real world a little more, and enjoy the wonderful things that it has to offer. As someone who works in IT I could certainly identify with all of that.

How the story unfolded I will admit I found a little hard to follow in parts, but overall I enjoyed it. It was a nice touch having parts of the song actually play in the audiobook when in the story Adam was listening to them on the walkman, and the narration from Scott Brick was excellent as always.

[Jen James · Rating 3 out of 5]

I would usually give a brief summary of a book before I start my review, but to be honest, I’m not sure where I would begin with that. So I would recommend reading the synopsis to help you decide.

I can’t express what I was expecting from the book, and now after reading, I’m still not sure what I read. This was quite a surreal read/listen. Analog Sun certainly shouldn’t be read literally, I would suggest taking a more metaphorical approach to the words.

There is a clear message, to step back from technology, and embrace nature, which I agree with wholeheartedly. Having said that, I don’t think that I’m the best suited reader for Analog Sun, though I’m sure there will be others who will be.

[Daphne · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have mixed feelings about this one. I think there are good lessons being explored in this novella, and I find the overall story of how our life choices make us who we are and where we ultimately end up is an intriguing concept. However, I also felt something was lacking for me and I ended the book feeling a bit disappointed overall. That being said, I do still find myself thinking about these charcaters and lessons about our humanity, so clearly it has had an affect on me. I believe this book may affect some people deeply while others will be unbothered, depending on where the reader is in life. Overall, I still am intrigued and moved by this story. 3.5 ⭐️ rounded up for the fact that it stayed with me after finishing the audiobook.

Great Book

This book blends adventure, action, drama, and even suspense. It is perfect for disconnecting from daily routines, enjoying some time of pure entertainment, and letting go of the many things in everyday life that often speed up the mind rather than calm it. With a dynamic narrative, it captures the reader from the very beginning and turns reading into a space of rest and enjoyment. It is a great book, easy to read, and highly recommended for anyone looking to escape from the ordinary and immerse themselves in an engaging story that offers both excitement and relaxation.

[Carlos Perea · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book

I really enjoyed this book because it invites the reader to live in a different way. It also helps raise awareness about the limitations that come from being constantly attached to digital devices, social networks, and everything related to technology. The reading offers a profound reflection on how technological dependence distances us from what truly matters, while at the same time inspiring the desire to live less attached to the digital world and more connected with nature. It is a great book, easy to read, and filled with a message worth embracing and putting into practice.
