Reversing aging, extending life. Gone... in an Orlando, Florida, fire.







The problems we were about to unleash, had bit me before. My impulse was to create a new identity, and use the new residence in Nevis as my home base. I felt the anxiety, remembering how the greed of the world would pay any price for youth and extended life. Longue Durée made me the billionaire that I am. I didn’t need any more money, but it has become a mental disease. What would they do now, that anyone could have a perfect body, or cure any biological imperfection?


Dr. Martin Bernstein in Orlando, Florida, had the basis for a Fountain of Youth drug dropped in his hands. He refined it, broke it down, synthesized it, and is now marketing it to the public, if you can afford it.


Longue Durée is on Amazon now. Book 2 is in the final edit. Book three, is finished, and going to the editor as soon as she finishes book 2.



Each book can be read individually, but will be better if read in order.

Reverse aging. Romance, Sail, Caribbean, Health, Money.



The island of St. Croix is in the path of a large hurricane. 
Louis Bautista can’t get a flight off-island, so he takes a suggested alternative to wait it out in Barbados. 

Redhead Celia Judel brings in a 46’ Najad sailboat by herself, after her husband dies at sea of a heart attack. She needs a captain to help deliver the yacht back to South Carolina and Louis needs to get back to Florida. 


On the voyage home, they go ashore in St. Croix and after a romantic dinner, Louis leads Celia into a dark alley and begins seducing her.


A native man runs into the alley. They hear men chasing him, and he throws a small package to the lovers. The men follow him into the alley and shoot him several times. The package, they discover later, holds the secret to life everlasting. Longue Durée.

Author finds his religious answers in music video. Longue Durée





Book author cracks his own
 subconscious mental block.

I was just watching a fantastic video by a musician named Hozier on u-Tube. In his song (Take me to Church) he expresses his frustration with organized religion, and sees his woman as his new church. He says he feels closest to God while having sex. He sings of worship, sacrifice, and amen! As I listened to the words, I suddenly had clarity of my own situation.

I just finished a three-book set called Longue Durée. Through all three books, the main character Louis Bautista doesn’t hide his resentment for organized religion. Things he does, things he allows, and things that he instigates, make it clear that Louis has an inner battle with a bigger power. In book three, Louis is married to a girl that is very religious, and they, after other failed marriages, succeed in becoming parents. By this time, Louis has become very wealthy. Their son has become a research scientist, breaking all the rules of science and God. His wife tries to show him how he is angering God, and Louis, keeps funding his career to prove her wrong. This is just a back-story in the books, and not the main story.

Sometimes writing is a form of therapy. This one has been coming for many years.
Reality, takes more work then writing a book. From the time I was a child my parents pushed religion at me. It was burnt into my mind at an early age; therefore, I am still haunted by the teachings to this day. I spent years in classes, theology, ministry school, and even bible studies at home. I am not a person that blindly accepts something that will shape my life. Things have to be proved to me. I, for lack of a better word, graduated, and was qualified to be a minister. After years of study and research, I kept running into a barrier with each religion. I was not looking for a barrier. I wanted to believe. I do Believe! But, just as in my books, man's greed and corruption can take the most beautiful gift, and corrupt it.

I grew up in the Bible Belt, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky. When you are deeply surrounded by the faith, it’s hard to see beyond the congregation. I moved out of the U.S., back into the U.S., and now live in Florida. I have been in many countries, islands, and oceans, with drastic financial ups and downs. When you get out of your little… space, the big picture gets clearer.

God and I communicate in prayer. Prayer is not for public display and when I pray, it is usually very personal. I must believe? I keep going to him.

I found today that the emotion that drives my writing, and my confusion, is anger. At first, I thought that for some reason I was angry at God, but that didn’t make sense. Hozier’s song, as out there as it is, showed me my problem. The anger is at man’s attempt to use God to manipulate the sheep. It's never enough, I'm always guilty. I'm tired of feeling guilty. I tried to be a sheep. I can’t do it!

I have written twelve finished books, so far. The inner battle of the author shows in them all. Now that I realize I am doing this, perhaps I will change my style.
Longue Durée book 1, 2, and 3, do a fairly good personality profile of me. I was surprised! Only you will know that! Read book 1, and let me know what you think.

Something extra for people reading Longue Durée 1 that is not in the book!





Did you think about this?
In the book, Longue Durée, Extended Life,


Longue Durée, Extended Life, Is my first book as David Alexander. It is book one of a three book set. Every book begins and ends without having to necessarily have read the other books. It would, of course, be much better to have read the proceeding book. The eBook is only $2.99 or FREE if you are on Kindle Unlimited.

I am a Caribbean sailor, traveler, and am Building Yacht interiors in Florida at present. Most of the fictional experiences in these books are not necessarily fictional. Some are obviously products of my warped imagination, but I have a crazy life. For $2.99... give them a try. Book two is due back from the editor any day. She gets mad because she reads five or ten pages and forgot to edit. David

Author David Alexander returns to St. Croix USVI

Longue Durée, Extended Life, Available NOW at Amazon!


(All photos taken by me with a Motorola Droid Turbo cell phone)



This is the view this morning from my patio. I sleep well  with the sound of the waves just a hundred feet away. It has been a long time since I stayed ashore on St. Croix. Over the years, we have anchored the sailboat in Christiansted, and only ventured in as far as we could walk. Today I am at sea-level, but used to live on the top of a mountain on the east end, with a view of the north and south shores.




Just like returning to the home you grew up in, everything here, also feels smaller. Yesterday I went into town to see what had changed, and buy a new snorkel. I was amazed at how many shops were not only closed, but stripped to the walls. I talked to several people that had been here most of their lives, and they knew the answers I asked about shops and people that had moved on.

Up and down this boardwalk, and sometimes as far as Gallows Bay, is my normal hang-out space when I am here. This visit, I have an apartment on the NE shore and a rental car.




Driving on the left, kicked back in, almost instantly. I went into town early and found that many of the shops didn't open until noon.




On the internet, I have read about gangs, shootings, and escalated crime. I confirmed that there are such problems, but in my time back on-island, I have only met friendly people, still waving out their window to let me into traffic, and have not yet encountered the resentment that has often been displayed against tourists. I have drove through school bumbler-bumper traffic, tracked down and bought computer supplies, shopped for groceries, and walked all the streets of C'sted and F'sted. I have an advantage over most non-residents, I used to live here and know the areas to avoid. In the past, your best protection was common sense.
This morning, I thought that I would like to see what is left of that house on the mountain. Since the castle was built on the properties above it, it was confusing finding it.

Longue Durée, Extended Life, Available NOW at Amazon!









On this trip, I didn't sail, so I rented a suite on the East End. Thanks to email, my editor found me, and sent me the latest manuscript. Knowing it was in my laptop, I couldn't help but review the cuts and alterations. I drive her crazy with ellipses and commas. 


There is still something special here on St. Croix. A magic pheromone in the air that slightly alters your DNA... permanently. I escaped here many times when I was in college. I never liked the cold of Cincinnati, Ohio. Four-hundred dollars was a round trip ticket, and I had places to stay for free. Any time life became more then I could handle, I came here. Even when I am sailing, I often end up here. Most of my friends from those years have moved on. I found a few still hanging in there on my 2019 visit. I have lived and worked here, and lost the faith and left the island. Even when I'm 1100 miles away, the pheromones still find me, and call me back.
