Notes for William "Bill" Joseph Karnowski

William "Bill" Joseph Karnowski wrote:

I was raised on the Hoot Owl Hollow Ranch on the North end of the Flint Hills region of Kansas near the Town of Emmett, Kansas. I am the third oldest of fourteen children. My Dad was David E. Karnowski. He owned a little over a thousand acres and leased another 5 sections for summer grazing. He was a cow-calf man and had Angus cows with Hereford Bulls. His brand was, and now mine is, the Backward Walking K. My Mother, Louise is still alive and remains active in the management of the Ranch.

My brother Dave and I own a small construction company in the nearby town of Wamego, Kansas. I am married to Sue, my bride of 31 years and have three creative children, Kathy, Sandi, and Adam. I have written all my life.

My first collection on poetry and stories is published and is called PUSHING THE CHAIN, and is available on the internet, or through Barnes and Noble worldwide. The second volume called PAINTING THE TRAIN is currently entered into the Academy of American Poets Walt Whitman competition, so wish me luck. The third collection is titled CATCHING THE RAIN is nearly finished.
