In recent years, Mandy Woods has been involved in a variety of projects both as a writer of books and as a songwriter.

A passionate animal lover, she worked with C.A.R.I.A.D., the Welsh-based campaign to end the cruel practice of puppy farming, to write 'Cariad at Christmas Time' to discourage people from buying puppies at Christmas. As Wags Lyrical, Mandy also writes songs about her own beloved dogs, and for any animal lovers who care to commission her to write about their furry darlings.

Mandy has visited Nashville a number of times, and co-wrote several songs with Nashville-based singer songwriter Terri Calderon, including 'You Just Need One'. She is a writer with the Merf Music Group, and through them regularly pitches songs to major country artists. 

She has worked as a lyricist with singer songwriter, tribute artist and public speaker Shola Kaye, and the pair together came up with the pop song 'Just a Kiss Away'.

As an author, Mandy was commissioned to write the second edition of Wonder Dogs, true stories of canine courage, for Summersdale Publishers, and she has also ghostwritten for LifeBook.
