Interesting; I posted my books on a site and later found that it had been banned because of guns and animals. Next to it was an OK book about horror and another about the destruction of the world. I guess To Kill a Mocking Bird would be banned also?

The third quarter seems to have been slow for sales of books. I have heard from several authors saying that even with promotional of ninety-nine cent sales and free books there has been a lack of sales. I think that back to school and winter coming on has something to do with it. Hopefully, the fourth quarter and Christmas sales will be much better.

A Five-Star Review from the UK http://mybook.to/WhiteCrow
A J A.j. Griffiths-Jones: This book is of a genre that I rarely read but, having now followed the journey of Jedadiah Crow & his ancestors, I’m relishing the idea of reading the sequel. Every scene is told with such precision & clarity, making this a brilliant work of historical fiction but without losing the undeniable excitement of a good old western. Wood is a superb storyteller, obviously knows his weaponry terms well & spins a most enjoyable yarn.

By Janice Kelly on August 14, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
Isaiah, life and times of Isaiah Crow: this book speaks of the adoption of Isaiah into the crow nation a proud Indian family from the youngest one to the very old !! I found myself reading this book like it was a movie in my mind. When I wasn't glued to this book I was wondering what going on with the characters because you fall in love with all of them! I did have a bit of problem with keeping up with the time frame, of certain chapters .. You must read this book! Another best seller for John W. wood, read and reviewed by Jann Kelly

ANOTHER Five-Star Review for White Crow Thank you, Joe Morgan! 
The Saga of Crow Continues
ByJoe Morgan on August 10, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
I first read the House of Crow and could not wait for White Crow to be published. After a few months, I reread The House of Crow ( Great read). I downloaded White Crow the day I received notice of its publication. It is well worth the read as a story but there are some timeline skips of months even years that leave you wanting to know what was going on during those times. Oh well, can’t expect a minute by minute play line.
If one is new to the family Crow, they need to start with White Crow first then The House of Crow.
I hope there may be at least one more Crow novel in the making.

Coming soon comming soon

With Deadly Purpose
Police Sergeant, Billings stood next to his patrol car absently patting his pockets for his keys; thinking, ‘Early killed fourteen men in Afghanistan because they killed his friends. I wonder what a man like that would do if someone killed his wife and child?’
Former Marines, Early, and Behr are looking for the man who killed Early’s wife, Behr’s sister. The Marines will declare war on the Detroit drug trade in their search for the killer. But none of their training has prepared the two Marines when they do come face to face with the killer.

WHITE CROW HAS ANOTHER 5-Star review
Review by mustang ocs
5.0 out of 5 stars lives and adventures of Isiah Crow and his friend LeRue
August 2, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
Sometimes the word "WOW!" says it all. Well, I have to tell you that the word "WOW!" is insufficient to tell you how good this story is. I am now a John W. Wood fan.
I intend to read to read everything he ever writes. I look forward to the 2nd generation of the Crow Clan.
The descriptions of Mexican California and the Ranchos of the Don's was exquisite. You will see the haciendas and the Vaccaro's, as clearly thru John's words as if you were seeing them thru your own eyes.
I do not want to give anything away because the events flow from one scene to the next in such a way that a description will give too much.
I will say to keep an eye on Hector...
You must discover the lives and adventures of Isiah Crow and his friend LeRue for yourself.
All right, John, when will book 2 be out. I would love to be a beta reader, if you need one.

White Crow 1st review 5-Star

http://mybook.to/WhiteCrow
WHITE CROW FIRST REVIEW is a FIVE-STAR!
Reviewer Berk Rourke
5.0 out of 5 stars A great story.
July 30, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
The House of Crow was the follow-on story to this book, and perhaps more to come in a series. This book follows the life of Isiah Crow, his adoption into a family of wonderful people, his marriage and the birth of his son. From that point of the story, you will have to read the rest for yourself. And if you like a great family dynasty story you will read this book. It is fun, it is exciting, it is a page-turner of the first order. I read it in one sitting after starting it this evening. It was not possible to put it away and go to bed early--the story was too good. The book is presented well, it does not distract with any problems. The characters are real in your mind's eye as you read. Larger than most men, Isiah turns out to be larger than life itself. The White is the name he was given as a boy. The friendships described, the love story told, all are very well done in this eminently readable story. You need to get this one.

The House of Crow Kindle Edition by John W. Wood (Author)
4.7 out of 5 stars 67 customer reviews
Great storyline chock full of events that take place over generations with a skillful blend of people/places/equipment that makes it all come alive. Not that easy when you think about it from a story teller's, or, reader's viewpoint. As an old Jarhead, I found that JWW knew his business. I will watch for his next book!

THE HOUSE of CROW The Adventure Begins

I have started book three of the House of Crow series. Young Jedadiah Crow joins the Union Cavalry during the American Civil War, where he meets his future partner Earl Stump. I really got into it and wrote 2,000 plus words today.
