Rachel's Windmills (ePub)

New Mexico born and raised, with stops along the way in Glenwood Springs, CO, Aspen, Ogden, UT, Denver & Sterling, CO and finally Nashville, actually Goodlettsville, TN. Retired from a career in Insurance and Finance, now Carl spends time "butchering wood, spinning yarns, pointing out the smartest, best looking grandkids around while, making music, enchiladas and trouble. "Writing is something I have to do" be it songs/poetry on scraps of paper left here and there or books lacking a few chapters or a real edit. I never run out of words.... written ones anyway. It's the ideas that count, and the story and characters from those idea's played out in prose. A beginning, a middle and an end, now that's the hard part.
I love quirky characters, female heroines, good vs evil and animals. A few of my favorite authors and writers
