Quote From Author Carl David:

"My to begin with foray into writing was in college in the school newspaper when I had a grudge about the disgusting food top quality.  The post was pretty funny but scathing so they wouldn't let me sign it.

My subsequent perform was an article in the American Art Assessment in May 1978, about Martha Walter, an American impressionist artist, whose estate we represented.

In 1981 I authored, "Collecting & Care of Fine Art" published by Crown in New York. It revealed the truths about the art market and separated them from the hype which was so widespread. It was a factual expose for which I received considerable flack from lots of colleagues, but a person had to tell the truth and guard the collectors.

My most up-to-date book, "Bader Field" has just been released by Nightengale Press. It is a heart tugging memoir about my father, Samuel David, the legendary art dealer whose life was taken way too early, and how my brother and I had to step into the front lines of the third generation loved ones organization to reside out his dream, all the when trying to survive emotionally just after the devastating loss of our brother only eight years earlier.  The book is a journey of like, forgiveness and acceptance which begins at Bader Field (in Atlantic City), the oldest airfield in the country, the last spot I saw my father.

It is my hope that "Bader Field" will aid those who have had much less than ideal fathers growing up to break the chain of negative influence and develop into considerably improved fathers themselves when it is their turn to assume the role.

An even higher aspiration for me is that this book reach deep into the mind of anyone who is contemplating taking their life and show them that they are not alone, that there is often a further answer, another way, no matter what.  Those so desperate will need to know that they do not just destroy themselves, but every person about them as well their household, buddies and acquaintances. I pray that my perilous journey by way of those darkest days will bring light and hope to any person on that final path, and draw them back.

The Bigger Cause For Writing "Bader Field":

"Bader Field" my most current book was a seedling back in the middle 1960's, despite the fact that I had no idea of its inception however. Life in our household had been idyllic until we suffered an unspeakable family tragedy which altered all of our lives forever in one particular vile gesture.

It was only decades later that I was focused adequate to put "Bader Field together, though randomly at 1st as it started mainly as homage to my father so my kids would know the greatness of the man who had passed away far too soon.

As the story unfolded, it expanded significantly and encompassed a far broader perspective to contain the horrific loss of my brother.  The darkest days of my life needed to be revealed and relived in order to accurately show our family members dynamic and how we survived.

It became my hope that the story would give hope, light and like to everyone at that edge of desperation and bring them back from the brink of extinction to the quite a few avenues of support that are accessible and to show those pained souls that such a final act doesn't just take their life, but in large measure, those of their loved ones, pals and acquaintances as well.
