She likes to do a good job in whatever she does, and she tried her hand from amateur Magic to designing objects for 3d printing.

Rachel is a poet-writer versed in prose as much as she is rhyme. She loves to weave words and for the most part has no idea where the words are leading her to, she finds it the fun way to write. In author's words on her writing style from her poem The Flow of Magical Words. "I love words, which pour easily from my pen, when I put pen to paper a world of words does open, it flows on the page it's soul mate, though no one can read the scrawl of words which well inside and opens a gate, out comes beauty, rhymes of passion, sage words and gloom, rhyming poem, deathly prose dark as the hand of doom, the right word is magic in my hand, like a lover sigh lightly fanned." Rachel's poems are on google play music and iTunes music also on amazon digital music in audio and Kobo too. Rachel is also webmaster to her own poetry website rachellawsonpoet.yolasite.com/ contact her via email there.

Wispy white cotton candy clouds

Wispy white cotton candy clouds sail upon a sky of zenith blue, flying over fields of green, the clouds turn grey and water the fields below, they skip over oceans, rivers, and seas, in the breeze, float over cities and towns, like waves, they blow over deserts dry, raining down on forests and tropics hard, they are hard things clouds know, plane above and through them fly, clouds feed tree and grass with rain, rain freezes into snow and coarse frozen hail, there are many types of clouds, tempestuous storm, fluffy non-rain clouds, clouds like paintings, grayish tinged rain clouds, others look like waves in the sea, people see in them images of things, which aren't there, still more try to predict them, and some do fail, clouds are amazing things.

Findaway voices site cost money to use unless you sign up with Draft to Digital first. But is free if you upload own voice files if you sign in with Draft to Digital first. Then if you decide to get a pro reader it will cost money. you need a cover for audiobook which can be made with canva, gimp, and or photoshop. gimp and canva are being free. Photoshop is a paid software. It all matters what you have access to.

The audiobook needs to be added on fav in parts with a promo ad which may be used by site uploaded to. reverbnation and cbdbaby audio is made as one part without promo. I am and have alway been bad at reading aloud so I use find away voices a lot but they do go down sporadically but they come back. I am now in the process of reading a new book which I am putting on find away voices a short story. As I said I have reading problems I am reading it in parts 1 (read) A tall handsome man in a black shirt and pants with glasses sat in his dingy little office. He was scribbling on papers with some skill with a black quill and ink. He stopped when he heard his son Lance arguing with his assistant outside the office. 2 "Go away Necromancer he's working!" Blake Alexander heard his assistant shouting. "But I have to see him it is important!" Lance shouted back. Blake got up walked to the door and opened it standing in the door way he asked why they were arguing. 3 "He wanted to disturb you from your important work," Dante, Blake's assistant said. Lance glared at Dante. "But this is important!" said Lance. and so on it's good for editing out mistakes and not hard for me to compile and read. I read that off allpoetry page on a quiet divice and into another in this case a tablet with a good audio dictation program. I email myself the audio files to a computer and edit them with ocenaudio a good audio editor. I created a file like this https://gyazo.com/165379a6a95f2136e5bbccd164ae0005 Copy and paste the parts together another good thing about the reading in parts thing is you can find the parts for prom easier.
