About the BookDavid Scott's A Bohemian in a Precarious Belfry is a philosophic treatment of life and death via his collection of poems, short stories, essays, and random dialogs - the latter almost as would be experienced by an eavesdropper. It is an unusual reflection on, and examination of, friendship, enmity, joy, strife, hope, and what life does to us in the form of favor and brute random chance, and what we do with one another in the form of friendship, love, loyalty and, too, malevolence and betrayal. All is weaved within fates good and bad, with renewal as experienced and factored into the general human condition.Here is an avenue to a reexamination of life and death and what these constitute: The enthrallments, the potentials to be realized, the limitations, the acceptances, all within the slow grind of uncertain futures... and certain deaths. Perhaps a custom adjustment to living - and dying - is possible. With the removal of political programming, religious indoctrinations, cultural overlays and expectations, and simple fear, there is at least a potential for a new appreciation, a new capacity, for living... living each... any... life.About the AuthorDavid Scott is private and iconoclastic on one hand, and on the other quite social at times; one may wonder how a "bohemian" managed to serve 12 years inside the strictures of the U.S. Army. Mr. Scott himself says, "Ask me: I encountered the most diverse field of people in life during my Army years."After, Scott was an I.T. executive and authored the MBA-text, I.T. WARS: Managing the Business-Technology Weave in the New Millennium. After that foray into non-fiction, he published his first fiction: The Grim Grind of Life: A PI's strange bounces through a surfeit of eateries, juke joints, and dark doorways.He also enjoys crawling through jazz and blues clubs seeking fellow travelers. His love of music has led to a considerable collection of LPs, 78s, Edison discs, and vintage music reproduction equipment from the last century.

After serving two years on a life sentence, David Scott is given a new trial because of new evidence that has come out, and once he is set free, he thinks that his past is in the past. But little does he know, everyone has someone who loves them, and after he's home and trying to live his life trouble-free, there are things going on around him that he doesn't see or feel, until after one night of drinking and celebrating an employee's four-month party, plus thinking he was about to have sex with one of his many lady friends, he wakes up tied to a chair. And there standing in front of him are people he's given a job or just plain trusted since he's been home, but to have these people tell him this is his last day, his heart starts racing, and his head and stomach seem like they're fighting against each other. But his mind gets clear enough to know that because of his past actions, there would be a hit out on him once he was set free from prison. So now thinking about everything, damn, he never pays attention to his surroundings and never thinks anything like this would ever happen. To his knowledge, all has been forgotten once he was sentenced to life, but now for what he did or they thought he did, the time for payback is standing in his face and in the form of people he has been around and trusted.

A stage play in three acts.It is the height of the "Celtic Tiger" boom in Ireland and Jean and his father work as painters, busily painting the many new houses springing up as the housing industry explodes. However beneath this seemingly perfect world is a dark underbelly of corruption and incest. Jean's shady uncle, living in his attic laboratory, has genetically developed Ireland's first poisonous spider, a deadly creature that is evolving hourly. As Ireland's mythical and cultural past retreats from this toxic world, Jean is bitten by the spider and his ever-distracted and disillusioned father plots the last supper.The Celtic Spider is a surreal and nightmarish examination of the rot that exists beneath economic boom and controversially criticises an Ireland that is losing its soul. Written and performed in 2007, The Celtic Spider, at times deeply profound and farcically humorous, prophesied the doom of the coming years of total economic and spiritual collapse.
