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.

We have many Stuart Woods' bestselling titles in stock and are taking this opportunity to make them available at special pricing in commemoration of the 41st Anniversary of the publication of Chiefs.
