Saturday, January 24th, 10 a.m. - David Putnam

Talk & Signing for the second novel in his new series, IMOGENE'S GRAND FIASCO-The Misadventures of Imogene Taylor (Book 2) 


​Seventy-five-year-old Imogene Taylor just wants to smoke her Marlboros and watch the world go by from her divan. But fate has other plans.


During his law enforcement career, “Deputy Dave” Putnam worked primarily in California on teams for Patrol, Investigations, SWAT, Narcotics (street level and majors), Violent Crimes, Criminal Intelligence, Internal Affairs and the Detective Bureau.  He rounded out his law enforcement career with a few years in the Hawaiian Islands as a Special Agent–part of a real-life “Hawaii-50” team.

He’s now retired from law enforcement and spends his time with his wife Mary and their three dogs while growing organic California avocados and writing.
