I enjoy some bushwalking, watching the grandchildren grow up fast, sailing (despite no sea legs), learning German and music. I play violin in a community orchestra.
'A Soldier's Quartet' is my first novel.

"14 hours on Audible. A shocking account of white supremacy, racism, lynching, and murder by Texas mobs and the Texas Rangers from 1910 to 1920. Eye-opening and gives the reader pause. "

Quotes by Colin Baldwin  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The fragrance of the wildflowers was no longer sweet. After years of fighting, and often soaked by rain, their once handsome uniforms, immaculate when the soldiers had posed for studio portraits or during private farewells, were now tarnished with a noxious layer of perspiration, campfire smoke and cordite. The blood spatters, some from their comrades, some from the enemy, had become ingrained in the fabric and were now indiscernible from the overall grime.”
Colin Baldwin, A Soldier's Quartet

“It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.”
