I am not having any success losing weight. Today I weighed 291. This is ridiculous. And I know I am fat every time I look in the rain, never mind the scale. But I keep trying to lose weight. Good morning from Saint Petersburg, Florida.
As I mentioned before, three of my books, the novel Symbiosis, A Prison Odyssey, and Inside Outside and Asanas and Other Stories, are being sold at The Book Rescuers Bookstore on 8325 Ulmerton Road in Largo, Florida. @thebookrescuers.
Hereโs my health report for Tuesday, July 14, 2026. First off, I weigh 291 pounds. Meaning I am still obese. My blood pressure is 113/68, with a resting pulse of 90. Also, my blood sugar today was 164. Not good but I am working on it.
If you go to https://t.co/fYHAIUY8jl and type โHunter Trilogy David Wood,โ you will see the three books I wrote about wolves in 1960โs Minnesota. It is a trilogy, an adventure that spans eight years and ends in a war between wolves and men.
My novel, Symbiosis, A Prison Odyssey, was published five years ago on Amazon as a paperback and kindle. It is based on my own prison time and experiences and the experiences of several other men. If you read this, you will never see prison in the same light again.
The Hunter Trilogy, Legend, Hunter and Guardian, follows the lives of trapper Jessie Cutter Armstrong and biologist Dean Hoover as they both hunt for the giant wolf they call the Shadow Wolf, who closes leg-hold traps and buries poisoned meat to save other wolves from that fate.
Symbiosis is based on my sixteen years in prison, and is about men who somehow re-discover their humanity in the midst of adversity after committing heinous crimes and being banned from society. It is about how men somehow find and hold on to their true selves, when possible.
Four years ago, I published the third printing of my book, Gnats of Aversion, Ants of Desire, about the efforts of a friend of mine and myself to start the first Zen Buddhist Sangha (The Blue Lotus Sangha) in a Florida Department of Corrections prison, Hardee Correctional.
I have just published my autobiography called The Tree Planter, about my life and my crimes. This may be the darkest book I have written yet, and I have been working on it for about five years. Counting editing, it took about six years.
It took me twenty years to write my Hunter Trilogy. I wrote most of it in prison, starting with a ten page short story, editing it into a five hundred page book, editing it into a 1500 page book, then breaking it up into three books, each with a prologue and epilogue.
Go to https://t.co/fYHAIUY8jl and check out my new book, my autobiography, The Tree Planter. I am pushing people to buy it. My beer funds are getting low and I need a little help.
