Painting With Words

To William Howard, there is a clear difference between an artist and a person who makes art. He would unfortunately classify himself as the latter. After all, his job as a history textbook writer doesn't allow for much creative freedom. But after he discovers that his biggest fan is the son of the second largest publishing house in England, he's finally given the opportunity to make a name for himself. His new job brings him two things he had never dreamed of having: class mobility and (what was most surprising to him) romance.
