Let Keir Graff take you inside Chicago’s Fine Arts Building—a building that hides worlds behind its doors. 

In Chicago’s Fine Arts Building, celebrated writer and Fine Arts Building tenant Keir Graff takes readers behind the scenes of this cultural hub. Initially conceived as a space for artists’ studios, a home for the city’s working artists, the building was an immediate success, but the Great Depression brought a long, slow decline to the building. Graff explores the building’s history, its revitalization, and its cultural place in the city of Chicago. Featuring interviews with current tenants and access to the building’s archives, including historical photos and artifacts, and a foreword by bestselling author Gillian Flynn, Chicago’s Fine Arts Building sheds a new light on this storied building and its long history.

American pop singer Jennie Jensen is ready to marry the love of her life, England’s Prince Hugh, but someone is determined to keep her from becoming a princess—any way they can. To give her fairy tale a happy ending, she’ll have to play the royal game.

Jennie Jensen is touring Europe, already living her dream, when Prince Hugh of Wales—the future King of England—appears at a gig and requests his favorite song. He’s already smitten, and soon so is she. After a secretive, whirlwind romance, Hugh proposes, and when Jennie accepts, her world changes overnight. She’s still learning to navigate the minefield of constant scrutiny, barbed social interactions, and royal protocol (there are rules about pantyhose), as she learns that not everyone in England is excited about the prospect of an American princess.
