Our 2nd feature by @normanbirnbach.bsky.social is a sharp, unsettling story about obsession, resentment & what happens when justice becomes something personal. Revenge promises closure....it rarely delivers. Read "An Eye For An Eye" now at Literary Garage. literarygarage.com/an-eye-for-a...

The Museum of Natural History in 1980 is a key setting for Stealing Time. Here's a copy of the book inside the museum, photographed next to the diamond that inspired the book and the cover. Amazon is currently discounting the paperback edition, available here amzn.to/40uWEuu
