Hi, my name is Cindy Rowell Cowles. I write as CL Rowell, Cindy Cowles and Cindy Larie.
I have over 50 short stories, books and novellas written so far. Plus a new trilogy! Yay!
I was born in Louisiana. I have driven trucks over the road, sold tickets for a traveling carnival and even drove a dump truck to gather corn from a corn field before settling in Oklahoma where I drove for a construction company. Now, after 21 years I'm back in Louisiana and spoil my grandbaby when I'm not writing. (And even when I am, if I'm honest. ;}) I share a home with two grown kids, a grandchild and - I'm pretty sure - a ghost. I enjoy writing science fiction, fantasy, erotica and romance.

Quotes by Cindy Cowles (?)

“You'd think, since goodreads is now part of Amazon, it would be updated/updateable as Amazon is updated. Ain't technology ironic? We can do so many things, but so many others are still beyond our capabilities.”
