    About this ebook

    An artist travels to a remote but beloved spring to sketch the river and its verdant surrounds when he meets a lovely creature in sparkling pastel gauze wearing a crown of flowers who unexpectedly dances for him. Is it the heat or her allure? He has to have her. Together, they share something magical, something that transcends the marks on his sketchpad, an incendiary lust, that bind them forever.

    Amicus

    A new and different look at the Amicus, John Cole, former radio announcer and newspaper reporter.... and... father... which is why... A recent family reunion of fifteen grandchildren, eight boys, seven girls, reminds me of what life is all about. I have had a life many would aspire to, ran from an abusive step father at age twelve, joined the US Navy at seventeen, married at eighteen, a baby girl at nineteen. Toured Europe on a motorcycle, thus, “Natasha”, let Miss Canada drive my ‘57 T-Bird, the one with t hr port-holes, drove my little girl around in a ’58 Austin-Healy Mk 3000. Interviewed Joan Baez... Had Don Ho and his band as guests on my radio program many times. Built and sailed a boat from Miami into the Caribbean, cut down 1400 trees with a 32” Stihl saw as a logger and cut beef as a butcher... Been to Alaska, loved a Canadian girl and served fifteen months in Goose Bay, Labrador as an Air Force communications supervisor. But my six children have proven to be the greatest delight of all... hi guys... I have some life to share with you... Got arrested, along with a nineteen year old co-ed from the University of Hawaii, for painting a Pink line down the main street of Waikiki on St. Patrick’s day... Judge said had we painted it green... I loved my work as a DJ and radio and television talk show host, loved even more the newspaper reporting for high school sports, and play by play game broadcasting... and now I write naughty stories about all the girls I met and then some... in the hope of entertaining you for a while...

      I was anxious to arrive and get started and yet at the same time reluctant as I turned the key and stilled the engine of my old Forest Green four-by. I took the keys and stepped out onto the blacktop of the parking lot at the local market where I parked each time I made this little journey down to the river.

      I stood for a moment alongside the vehicle, and felt the temperature and texture of this early spring day that held promise as the sun climbed higher and warmed the landscape. Large and small white clouds of all shapes seemed to be placed in perfect position against the warm blue sky; that special season of rebirth and growth was just almost in the air and I could sense it.

      I lit a smoke and used the key to open the back hatch and began to unload the few things I needed. I had the routine set now; this was my fifth trip on this particular quest. There wasn't all that much, the easel and large sketch pad, a yellow canvas folding chair, an apron with a dozen pockets for the pastels and pencils and charcoal and a single strap cloth carry-bag with extra supplies of everything that might be needed.

      I stood for a moment double checking everything, took another deep drag off the cigarette then ground it out under my shoe; got everything in hand, crossed the sidewalk and street to the top of the sharp incline that served as a boat launch and walked slowly down toward the river taking everything in sight.

      I always felt I could detect a different scent to the air next to a moving body
