Michael Martz asked David Putnam:

Hey David- Good to see you were given props in the Acknowledgments section of Lee Goldberg's "Gated Prey" for your help on the law enforcement aspects of his novel. Do you often advise other writers on that type of thing?

David Putnam Thank you Michael.
I'll help anyone who asks and as it turns out quite a few do ask. I lost count after 16 of those kinds of "thank yous" in books. :-)

I love the humor in your books -- does that just come naturally to you?

3 no 7 asked David Putnam:

How do you balance the gritty reality of your books with changing social dynamics? Is there a line between stark reality and stereotypical portrayal? Hope to see you in person or on Zoom with Lit Up and Book Carnival

India M. Clamp asked David Putnam:

Hi David, is it true that in the study of profiling murderers we find a certain demographic profile? Grateful for your service to our county in protect its citizens.
