Finally, the next Prey book is apparently going to be called "Masked Prey" and it comes out next year. I've got no other information – I don't have 2020 vision – but the author's about halfway done writing it.

Hollywood Reporter says that CBS might do a Prey -based series. The author hasn't heard anything about it, but that might be normal for early development. We'll see.

So just a reminder that the author will never DM you out of the blue asking to start a conversation. He will never ask for donations, or try to hit on you, or anything else like that. Just so you know.

A reasonably decent review of "Golden Prey", from Stephen King.
GOLDEN PREY, by John Sanford: The best Lucas Davenport story so far. The man has a fine touch for outlaws. Next week. Get it. Over and out.

The author himself is “not a fan” of Twitter. I’m his son, and I manage the website, the social stuff, and the fan correspondence. It works out for everyone.

Not every book works for every person. If you're not enjoying it, there's no shame in putting it down. It's entertainment, not a chore.

The only event for "Judgment Prey" (that I know of) is a talk / signing at the Poisoned Pen mystery bookstore in Scottsdale, Arizona. It will (probably) be the day before the street date.

When the series started, Lucas was a few years younger than the author. Now Lucas is the same age as the author’s son. Don’t try to make the timeline work; Lucas ages on comic-book time.

So it turns out there's this fake John Sandford book called "Payback" on Amazon, listed as "by John A Sandford". This is, again, not a real John Sandford novel. It's one of those "the name sounds like it" scams.
