Today I am featuring bestselling titles by T. Jefferson Parker. He was one of the first authors to sign for VJ Books and we have been following him ever since.
Parker on Silent Joe -
"The Germans have a name for this kind of novel—they call it a bildungsroman—which means novel of growing or novel of building. It was really refreshing for me to write about a young man. Joe's the only one of my heroes who isn't world weary in some way. He's fresh, strong and confident, like a bull first coming into the ring. There's such a glory in the young. They don't have a lot of things yet, things that only experience can bring. But they've got strength, speed, endurance, enthusiasm. You look at them and you marvel at their beauty, and you cringe when you see the pit they're about to fall into, because they fail to see it themselves. Youth is not always wasted on the young, clever as that turn of phrase is." - T. Jefferson Parker
We still have Parker titles on the shelves. Check them out!
