Windmills and The Body in the Cornfield

A windmill is central to the plot of The Body in the Cornfield. There are different types of windmills. The photo here is of the modern energy generating windmills you may have seen alongside highways.

Other windmills use energy to turn the blades, used in orchards and vineyards to prevent damaging freezes.

​The windmill in The Body in the Cattails is an energy generating variety. It is a project by university engineer Emiko, using renewable materials. The windmill in my novel looks more like the traditional wooden windmills in the Netherlands.
