I love the humor in your books -- does that just come naturally to you?
David Putnam
I never used to try and put humor in the Bruno books. Readers at book conferences and while signing books at bookstores had commented on the humor. I would turn to my wife and say, "My books are funny?" So to answer you question I originally didn't do humor on purpose the words just fell where they did. Now that I've included a dog as an added level of conflict and a foil, I do purposely make the dog humorous.
Thank you for the great question.

David Putnam:
Hello, I am writing a series that takes place in the 1920's, and am having trouble naming my police characters due to their ranks. One of the reoccurring characters has the title "Chief" and the other lower-ranking one is "Deputy." I am not sure if these rankings are suitable based on the time period and the amount of work each character does? Chief helps out my mc solve cases, and bosses around Deputy/other officers.

David - Will you be sending out the ARC's for The Sinister soon? Have you gotten it back from the publisher? I have passed my Bruno books on to friends but am so looking forward to the next one. Of course they have to return my copies because I intend to keep them in my home library. Looking forward to Bruno #9. Sharon Rosenblum 2377 NW 87th Drive Coral Springs, FL 33065
