Just curious- I read a review about the sequence of your Bruno Johnson series- which would be the best one to start in your opinion?
David Putnam
Great hearing from you and this is a great question. I wrote four books in current day when Bruno was 48yrs. old. And in sequence they are: The Disposables, The Replacements, The Squandered, The Vanquished. Then I went back and wrote four books that are prequels and start when Bruno is 24yrs. old. That sequence is The Innocents, The Reckless, The Heartless (which comes out Feb 2020), and The Ruthless (which comes out Feb 2021).
So you can start with The Disposables if you want to go in sequence in the way I wrote all the books or you could start Chronologically with Bruno's age and start with the Innocents.
My favorite book in the series right now is The Reckless because it was the most emotional book for me to write. I'd tell you why but it would be a spoiler. In most of my books I put an Author's note to help explain what happened in real life.
Thanks again for the great question. Hope this helps. I'm happy to answer any others.

I have always loved thriller fiction. Today Christopher Swann, Peter Heller, John Grisham are my favorites. What is your opinion of the vulgarity in the books today ? At seventy-seven years of age, spending many years in the U.S. Navy, admitting I have used a few of them myself, am not opposed to it, in the proper place. Do you feel authors must use this to sell books, or is it just what society is today ?

Thank you for the books, David Putnam. I tried sending you a private msg but it wouldn't go through. Mary came by with them today, and I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you again. I'll get to them as soon as I can get through some waiting new ARCs. Sorry, this needs a question mark in order to be posted. ???
