For the last year, I've been involved in a real labor of love - writing a book of poetry about Rocky Mountain National Park and illustrating it with my photography. I'm proud to announce that MountainDrama has now been published and is available for purchase here! The book includes 23 poems and 40 photographs, many of which are new. (All but one of the photos are full color.)

Here's a sneak peak of a photo of Chasm Falls from the book.

Needless to say, I'm very excited about this. It's taken a lot of hard work, but I'm very pleased with the outcome. I just hope others will find enjoyment in it, too.


PS - a huge thanks to Aaron for working out special permission for me to promote this book on the forums. You da man! :hifive:

(Do I have to pay royalties on the bookmark, t-shirt and my Forum's signature line now???)

I grant you special permission to keep on using the quote from "Internity" as your signature line for as long as you like. (And, yes, it's in the book.)

I am a published author also (but you have to go into a certain privy to read the wall).

Way to go, Dixinator!

Congratulations, Dixie. I'd like to publish a book of poetry and photos myself someday. I'm looking to target the duck butts and dirty limericks demographic.
