The Pop-Tart Gun

David Booker posted on March 31, 2015
`I’m writing this post as sort of an extension of my previous one about the death of common sense, because this story just makes me shake my head with sadness while wondering what happened to the rational world. If you’ve already heard this story, than I think most will agree that it defies common sense, ands defines our over-reactive mentality these days.

The Death of Common Sense

David Booker posted on February 04, 2015
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

Barrack Obama is a Narcissistic Blowhard

David Booker posted on January 22, 2015
Being a writer, I tend to stay away from making pubic commentary about politics. Political views don’t sell novels. Obama, however, infuriates me so totally and with such frequency, I decided to write about at least one of my opinions on him. Barrack Obama is a narcissistic blowhard. Not that I think much of his wife, either, but we’ll stick with one egotistical asshole at a time.

Living the Dream?

David Booker posted on November 23, 2014
I recently attended a party in which there were many people I didn't know. After the initial introductions, the first question always seemed to be:  “What do you do for a living?”

"Shark! Shark Attack!"

David Booker posted on May 22, 2014
          One of my favorite places to snorkel or dive is the small cove across from the 16-mile marker of Hwy 30 on the northwest side of Maui. The waves lapping upon the black-sanded beach are only ankle high. The ocean surface is pond-like calm. Mazes of coral rise to within a foot or two of the surface, and are teaming with every kind of tropical fish one could hope to find on the islands—including the occasional shark. The location is far enough south from Lahaina that it’s not crowded with tourists, and is only frequented by the locals. In short, it’s the perfect place to set up camp, picnic, and hang out for the day.

Excerpt from NANAUE: A Rex Bana Novel

David Booker posted on April 30, 2014
           Dr. Jessica Bana sat comfortably at the cherry table in the enormous kitchen of Sara’s Garden, a sanctuary for abused women and children on the northwest side of Maui. She felt tired after a long day of work, and a bit tipsy from too many beers. While trying to maintain her best poker face, Jesse ran her fingers through her long brunette hair and peeked down with green-brown eyes at her mound of poker chips.

Opeing Day Innocence?

David Booker posted on April 09, 2014
      What does the opening day of the baseball season mean to you? Anything other than just another season of high-paid athletes strutting their stuff on the ball field? I guess your answer may depend on your age. Today’s youth have much more to occupy their time and attention. Their heroes appear in highly visual movies and video games. Their activities are more sedentary and solitary than what kids did forty or fifty years ago. The world changes, but is it for the better?

Excerpt from the SECOND CHANCE Series

David Booker posted on March 31, 2014
           Something is very wrong, eleven-year-old Jack Bucher thought as he absently climbed into the freezing backseat of the waiting car. This car feels like a cold tomb. Something terrible is about to happen.

About the Author

A famous quote from motivational author Napoleon Hill once hung in the football locker room at Purdue University that read, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” I don’t know if that quote helped us win any football games, but it inspired me to live my dreams. Since I was a young American teen growing up in Mexico City, I got lost in the books I read and daydreamed of the stories I’d write. It was through the loving support of my hardworking wife of nearly thirty years that I realized my dream of becoming a writer.
