Goodreads asked Laura Morelli:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Laura Morelli The story of THE GONDOLA MAKER germinated inside my head while I was busy researching another book called MADE IN ITALY. The contemporary Italian artisans I interviewed, one after another, told me how important it was to them to pass on the torch of tradition to the next generation. I began to wonder what would happen if the successor were not able or willing to take on that duty. The characters of the gondola maker and his heirs began to take shape.

After 30 years I visited Venice again in early October. I've been reading the "Gondola Maker" so timely with today's flood!!! I've ordered "The Painter's Apprentice" but am interested in your other short reads that are only on Kindle. Any chance they are in print???
