Journeys

About the Book

Intriguing writing that captivates the reader with lyrical poetry, free verse, and rambling words which share memories of people, their dreams, and adventures. Parcels of emotions, heart flutters, unimaginable losses, joys, and riches, along with heartaches, will jump from the pages to touch the inner soul of the reader. Intimate and delightful reflections, journeys to places that will leave an imprint on your mind and uncover your own questionable being as you settle down to the haunting sounds from the authors soul. Words to lift a mood and question us as soulful echo’s slide from the pages to settle in the deepest corners of our mind, etching themselves into our wandering spirit. This is a magic carpet ride offering glimpses into hearts and souls that might very well be our own.

About the Author

Carol Cook was born in Southern Ohio, moved to California at the age of eighteen, and kept going – going to places she read about as a child. She traveled and lived in thirty-nine states and seven countries that included Great Britain, France, Italy, Greece, Canada, Germany, and Mexico. Traveling afforded her the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and opened a world of wonder to write about. She met happy and sad, exciting and mysterious, amazing and adventurous people, as well as places and things that were the same. All touched and shaped her life and her writing. In between traveling, writing and publishing, Carol raised three daughters, attended a variety of colleges and schools, and painted pictures in acrylic and oil. She has authored three books of poetry, a number of articles, and short stories. She continues to paint and pass her time with family, friends, and basking at her home beside a Texas lake. She is married to award winning artist, Robert W. Cook.
