I am reviewing a copy of An Extravagant Life: An Autobiography Incorporating Blue Water, Green Skipper through Penguin Group Putnam and Netgalley:
Stuart Woods has written more than ninety novels of suspense and intrigue, over the past forty years. Starting with his the award-winning Chiefs. Featuring iconic crime-fighting and jet-setting leads, the plots are masterfully conceived and wonderfully escapist.
What readers aren’t often aware of is Woods's very own life was filled with similar stories of adventure. Born in Georgia, Woods worked in advertising in New York, served in the US Air Force, and had a short stint as an advance man. When he was thirty seven he found himself in a transatlantic sailing race, and pursued writing as a full-time career shortly thereafter. Along the way, Woods has lived all over the world, from New York to London, Santa Fe to Ireland. Incorporating his iconic sailing memoir Blue Water, Green Skipper, this is the story of a life well-lived, and a special inside look into the beloved author’s many exploits.
I found An Extravagant life an intriguing and fascinating read worthy of five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
