I just finished reading Susan Vreeland’s Clara and Mr. Tiffany. What I love about Vreeland’s novels is how I learn so much, usually about art and history, plus I get a good story. The novel prompted me to find photos of Tiffany and Clara’s work, particularly the dragonfly and butterfly motif. If you’re interested in what I found go to the link on pinterest.

Great article about the ever changing role of the publishing industry and how the one who is often left out of the all the changes–is the author.
