Bumble Pie: The Art of Losering
Hilarious personal observations and short stories from a certified pro at' the art of losering'. Detailed illustrations capturing the defining swan song failures and a bonus index that will surely cause one to bust a gut and lower cortisol levels.
"I have often succumbed to the 'let me fix you' books that inundate every banner ad and airport kiosk around the globe. Ripping dollars from my wallet, I have chased facades of financial freedom, super-model weight loss, and even sprouting a few inches. My vertically challenged self loved the 'boots that boost' and qualified me for additional E-Harmony matches.
However, traditional self-help approaches heap a conscience flogging burden on YOU. You are broke because you spend like the government, you are 'husky' because you shotgun queso, and you lack inches because you provoked the gene dealer. If you accept you are the problem, then money will secure 'head wrenches' to screw you right. Er, on tight. That approach is certain to bung up fragile egos.
'Bumble Pie' utilizes a refreshingly simple approach and perfectly suited for those seeking hair-trigger fixes. In short, the 'Pie'
* lowering your expectations. You are not the problem, the bar is. Unless it serves adult libations, chunk all bars. This intuitive approach makes you better the second you roll out of bed.
*surrounding yourself with others who have adopted the same blasé approach to life. 'Success' will always be relative and if you 'dine with swine', you are then basking in the bell curve sweet spot.
*perusing the botched life lessons within. Written by an expert at 'losering', you will learn what not to do and therefore face the day happier, skinnier, and smarter. It's my S%&* Show Guarantee."

About the author
David Serafine
2 books4 followersDavid Serafine is an author and industrial security expert with a career in each spanning 25 years. With his seminal publication, Value-Based Security Procurement, he gained international recognition after the book was featured at the 2005 Global American Society for Industrial Security Summit. The ensuing success earned him a guest column in Security World International where his work 'Cargo Crime, The Silent Killer' reached a distribution in 15 countries.
For his next venture, Mr. Serafine flexed his 'genre be damned' muscle with the deliciously irreverent Bumble Pie: The Art of Losering. This collection of comedic essays garnered overwhelmingly favorable reviews for it's highly visual, 'belt-busting' delivery. The work received an honorable mention in his Alma Mater's 'IUP Magazine'.
In 2018, Temporo Frontal Dementia touched David's extended family, inspiring a pursuit as artistically gratifying as it was personally cathartic. The fictional 'Before the Ashes Fall' is an emotional Tour de Force described by an award-winning author and editor as 'a monumental achievement inspired by love'.
Today, Mr. Serafine is editing poems he has written over the last 3 decades with a goal of publishing the works in early 2020.

Serafine strikes the perfect tone in this supremely entertaining collection of short essays on bumbling through life, somehow finding balance in the margins between irreverence and cleverness. A great read for anyone looking for a little levity in today's crazy world. Highly recommend.

This is a collection of humorous short stories from the author's life. I found a couple that were laugh-out-loud funny. Others were just meh. I think the trick is that you have to be able to relate to them in order to see the humor in them. Also, I don't think I was the “target audience.” This might be a book that appeals, and is more relatable, to men.
Still, it's light and upbeat. Nothing heavy. Quick read. And I do really like the title.
