Thank you for thinking so. I really don't view my career as being all that impressive, it's just what I did for a living. I mean. I joined law enforcement for the adventure not to have an impressive career. I just followed it where it took me. I had a great time in my job. I looked forward to going to work every day and getting paid to play adult cops and robbers was just frosting on the cake. I miss the action, the camaraderie, and dream about it to this day. I would still be doing it if age hadn't jumped on my back and rode me into the ground.
Thank you for the question I'm happy to answer others as well. :-)

David Putnam:
Dear Mr. Putnam, I noticed that in many of your critiques of other's authors' works, you mention the "Fictive Dream" where, in my loose translation, the reader is so immersed with the book's universe that they forget their own. It sounds fascinating! As a writer, how would you write to achieve this effect, and as a reader, how would you say other writers achieve this (and if they don't, how do they generally fail)?
