VJ Books Presents Stuart Woods!
Stuart Woods was born in the small southern town of Manchester, Georgia and attended the local public schools, then graduated from the University of Georgia, with a BA in sociology.
In the Fall of 1979 he had contracted to publish a novel, on the basis of two hundred pages and an outline, for an advance of $7500. "I was out of excuses to not finish it, and I had taken their money, so I finally had to get to work." He finished the novel and it was published in March of 1981, eight years after he had begun it. The novel was Chiefs.
Though only 20,000 copies were printed in hardback, the book achieved a large paperback sale and was made into a six-hour television drama for CBS-TV, starring Charlton Heston at the head of an all-star cast that included Danny Glover, Billy Dee Williams and John Goodman. The 25th Anniversary of Chiefs came in March, 2006, and W.W. Norton publish a special commemorative replica edition of the hardcover first edition. Chiefs established Woods as a novelist. The book won the Edgar Allan Poe prize from the Mystery Writers of America, and he was later nominated again for Palindrome.
After publishing fifteen novels before appearing on the New York Times bestseller list, he has since had thirty-five straight bestsellers on the the Times hardcover list.
Woods is a born-again bachelor who shares his life with a Labrador Retriever named Fred (like all his dogs) and lives in Key West, Florida, on Mount Desert Island, in Maine, and in New York City.
