Book Reviews Should Be Constructive and Honest

David Booker posted on September 30, 2013
      I view constructive reviews of one of my books like a mini-critique, a chance to learn. A well-written review, good or bad, is an insight into a reviewer’s experience and knowledge. It might help me improve my skills by highlighting good or bad points in my writing, so why not listen and learn?

     I endured a very frightening, and frustrating, experience the other night. A virus took over my computer and threatened to destroy about ten years of work. Worse, I allowed the virus onto my computer due to my own curiosity and stupidity. This post is to warn you not to make the same mistake. Do NOT open any emails from USPS.COM!

     A person would have had to be living under a rock to not have read Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park or seen the multiple movies. This 1990 bestseller was obviously based on scientific theory, but the “de-extinction” of species is rapidly proving possible through advancing technologies.

Would You Like To Live To Be 120?

David Booker posted on May 16, 2013
The May, 2013, National Geographic Magazine has a cute picture of a blue-eyed baby on the cover. The title reads “This Baby Will Live to Be 120.” Intrigued, I read the article “New Clues to a Long Life” by Stephen S. Hall. I found the article interesting but disappointing.

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.

It was through the loving support of my hardworking wife of nearly thirty years that I realized my dream of becoming a writer.
