    Thank you for this post, Amy Jo. The glass crafting is truly a skill that I admired in Eddie, now I get where he came from. 😉
    Congratulations on your latest release.

    I am about a third of the way into Glass Tidings and enjoy it immensely.
    I too went through a big Nora phase yrs ago and did enjoy the Born In books. But fully agree about Scrap Metal – great book, must be due a reread!
    I still have a glass snail a then boyfriend made for me circa 1981 – he was learning to blow glass in a now defunct glassworks

    Josephine Myles’ THE HOT FLOOR has a glass blower in it, too…it was interesting seeing his job get incorporated into the story.

    Glass blowing is an amazing art I remember seeing a feature about it on PBS. It looked so easy for the artist to mold the glass but that’s experience for you. Hot work for sure too.
