deadline.com:

Bestselling author Don Winslow has announced that the two already-written sequels to his current novel City On Fire will be his last books.Winslow says he will devote his time to launching digital campaigns supporting Democratic causes and opposing “Trumpism.”“It’s time to do something else,” Winslow said in a statement. “I want to continue on speaking out where I see what I think is wrong.

It’s a big deal. It’s not a decision I made easily. Democrats have better ideas, better candidates, and a better vision for tomorrow.

What they don’t have is better messaging and I’m going to try and change that. I will be paying for everything myself and not accepting any donations.”Winslow’s latest novel, City On Fire (HarperCollins) hits shelves on April 26.

As Deadline reported last June, screen rights to that book and its two sequels were acquired by Sony Pictures and Elizabeth Gabler’s 3000 Pictures.
