VJ Books Presents Author Stuart Woods!

Author Stuart WoodsI first discovered Stuart Woods when I picked up a battered paperback copy of CHIEFS, his Edgar Award winning breakout novel. I was impressed with the depth of the multigenerational story and the superb character development. I went on to read everything else he had published at that time. A couple of years later I found myself in a bookstore in Pennsylvania browsing the stacks. Sitting at a table in the rear of the store, signing his newest book, was Woods. The store was pretty much empty, so I was able to spend better than a hour chatting with him. When we first started VJ Books, Woods was one of the first authors that we promoted, and he was always happy to sign for us. - John

We were saddened to learn that Woods died in July 2022.
