Satisfaction Guaranteed. John Sandford, real name John Roswell Camp, is an American novelist and former journalist. From 1971 to 1978, Camp wrote for The Miami Herald. In 1978, he moved to Minneapolis and started writing for The Saint Paul Pioneer Press as a features reporter; in 1980 he became a daily columnist. That year he was a Pulitzer finalist for a series of stories on Native American culture. In 1985, during the Midwest farm crisis, he wrote a series entitled "Life on the Land: an American farm family", which followed a typical southwest Minnesota farm family through the course of a full year. For that work, he won the annual Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing and the American Society of Newspaper Editors award for Non-Deadline Feature Writing. He worked part-time at the Pioneer Press in 1989 and left the next year. Camp is an avid fiction reader himself. When asked in 2018 "What's your favorite book of all time?" by the New York Times he responded "An impossible question. If you put a gun to my head - say a .40-caliber Walther PPQ, or maybe a .45 ACP Colt Gold Cup - I'd say ''The Once and Future King'', by T. H. White." Both weapons he mentioned make appearances in many of his novels. Camp is a personal friend and hunting companion to fellow Minnesota author Chuck Logan. In 1989, Camp wrote two novels that would each spawn a popular series. The Fool's Run (Kidd series) was published under his own name, but the publisher asked him to provide a pseudonym for Rules of Prey (Prey series) so it was published under the name "John Sandford". After the Prey series proved to be more popular, with its charismatic protagonist Lucas Davenport, The Fool's Run and all of its subsequent sequels have been published under John Sandford. In 2007, Camp started a third series, featuring Virgil Flowers, who was a supporting character in some of the Prey novels, including Invisible Prey and Storm Prey.. Book Condition: Very Good.
