About Stuart Woods

The American novelist hailing from Georgia, Stuart Woods, had a long and lustrous career in competition sailing. The interest, maybe obsession, with sailing began after he had spent time in London, then Ireland to write a novel about an old family story which he had heard as a child. He began putting together a crew for sailing competition shortly after he moved to Ireland.

It was in conjunction with a certain race, the MORCRA Azores Race and the OSTAR, Woods met with publishers to trade writing a book about his sailing experiences in return for sponsorship of the races. Golden Harp was launched in 1975, followed by Golden, Golden Apple, Golden Shamrock, Golden Delicious, and Harp.

Wood's novel, Blue Water. Green Skipper was published in 1977. His next book took a different turn and was based on his extensive travels around England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. It was entitled, A Romantic's Guide to the Country Inns of Britain and Ireland. He then followed those two non-fiction books with several series of novels featuring recurring casts of characters and also with characters and their love interests, and frequent use of the New York restaurant Elaine's as a meeting place. Woods has published a memoir, a travel book, and forty-four novels in a thirty-seven year career.

Goodreads review by Monnie on August 13, 2021

Gotta be honest: I've read a big bunch of books in the Stone Barrington series (this is the 59th, so make that a BIG bunch). But a couple of years ago, I simply got a little tired of reading about the high-powered attorney and ex-cop and his bed-hopping ways - a guy who at the wink of a pinky can dr......more

Goodreads review by Skip on October 21, 2021

The best Stone Barrington book in years: one with an almost believable plot. Stone is stuck in traffic due to inclement weather and runs for his townhouse to meet a new client when he stops to rescue a man being beaten on the street. Of course, the victim is his new client, Shepherd Troutman, who ha......more

Goodreads review by Rick on November 09, 2021

Much improved over the past few Stone Barrington novels; this one has a bad Russian invading Stone's new client in NY, Martha's Vineyard, LA and elsewhere.......more

Goodreads review by Don on October 30, 2021

(2). My name is Don and I am an addict. I read a Stuart Woods book every 90 days. No, I really don’t want to quit. Yesterday’s drill was similar to most. I picked up the book after lunch, and before we went out for dinner, I was done. And that included a little time to check e mail and even the golf......more

Goodreads review by Kim on September 27, 2021

Like many others, I have read every Stone Barrington book by Stuart Woods (as well as all of his other series) and the past few were not as great as they have been in the past. But this one... Finally the Stuart Woods that I love to read!! The book starts with Stone on his way home in a cab, when tr......more
