My Second Book, Coming Soon!
Coming soon! Wrags Ink., a new publisher in the Philadelphia area, is putting 
out a collection of my typography on vintage photographs! You’ve seen some of them before here and possibly on my Etsy, but this collection has about fifty images and more than half of them have never been seen before! So get ready, readers! My work is also being featured in a few magazines coming out this summer, and I’ll be sure to let you know about that as it comes up!
Also, once the book is out the prices will probably be going up a bit on my Etsy, so if you want any, better get them soon!
Thanks for reading!

Help with my book once more…
1. Who can forget their first big snowstorm?
2. Snowball fights, snow angels, building snowmen, sledding and a nice hot chocolate with mom.
3. A lot of snow for Virginia, but a dusting in Wisconsin.

Help With My New Book (Part 2)
After a clear win by story number one, I figured I should do this again! It was fun! If you didn’t see yesterday’s post, you can still vote for a limited time, but let’s move on to the new one. Choose the story you think best fits with the photograph and I’ll type the winner onto the photograph.
You may also want to purchase some of my originals from my Etsy before this book makes me famous and I double my prices! 😉
So here is today’s picture.
And the stories:
1. You can just tell she was having a moment.
2. The fresh feel of grass between her fingers made Gertrude, a city girl, smile.
3. Always recognize the small, beautiful moments in life.

Want to Help With My Book?
Okay here’s your chance, readers! I’ve been writing flash fiction and typing it onto photos for over a year now, and guess what! A publisher wants to collect a bunch of them into a book! So here’s how you can get involved.
I have a pile of new photographs, and I’m coming up with a few flashes for each one. I will be posting a few of them and letting YOU decide which story you think best fits the photograph. Not enough? You can also always suggest I start over!
So here’s today’s photograph:
And here are the flashes to choose from:
1. Maude always hoped she would leave town someday.
2. The road out of town…
3. The first day of the rest of her life.
So readers, please choose which you want and comment! Thanks!
Dennis.
