I/Aye/Eye by John W. Howell © 2015

“Where have you been?”

“I had to go to the store why?”

“I missed you and I was yelling all over the house.”

“I told you when I was leaving.”

“You did?”

“Aye. I said I’m going to the store and is there anything you need?”

“Now I remember. I asked for something for this dry eye.”

“I asked the pharmacist what to get for a dry eye.”

“What did they say?”

“She said you need drops for the dry eye.”

“Drops for the dry eye?”

“Aye. Here they are.”

“Thank you. Let’s see two drops in each eye.”

“So we are good?”

“Aye, I have what I need for my eye.”

“This is another prompt isn’t it?”

“Aye smart guy who got the drops for the dry eye.”

“Let me guess. Rhyming words right?”

“Not even close.”

The Paperbook collective Issue number six is hot off the press.

The nice part about issue six is a couple of my cohorts have some interesting pieces in it. Marie Ann Bailey and Pam Beckford have each contributed to this issue. Their work can be found inside:

Pam Beckford’s poem I Saw You yesterday begins on Page 32

Jayde-Ashe has done her usual fine job of editing and we all appreciate her dedication to the Paperback Collective.

Oh yes, I have a story in here as well, of The Day After New Year’ Day starting on Page 5.

If you do join; I will publish a link to your blog and your book or what ever you designate on the day of the tour and be so grateful for your help. As I stated, I will send you all the material, and you will only need to simply copy and paste into your site. If you would like to participate please send an e-mail to: johnhowell.wave@gmail.com. If you could also indicate a day when you won’t be able to participate it will help scheduling. Please send your e-mail to me by Monday January 13. I will then publish the schedule and material back to you on January 16. Thank you for your help.

Blurb: John J. Cannon successful San Francisco lawyer takes a well-earned leave of absence from the firm and buys a boat he names My GRL. He is unaware that his newly purchased boat had already been targeted by a terrorist group. John’s first inkling of a problem is when he wakes up in the hospital where he learns he was found unconscious next to the dead body of the attractive young woman who sold him the boat in the first place. John now stands between the terrorists and the success of their mission.
