StorySnaps

StorySnaps are my answer to the world of greetings cards: no slushy verse and no tacky picture; just a high quality monochrome or colour image and a short, well written (I hope) story, starting below the photograph and continued inside the card. Some are funny, some are wistful, one or two are slightly risque... Please, read on and, even if you don't want to buy one, send me an email mike@michaeljdixon.co.uk to tell me what you thought of them.
