shadowkatToday on my way to work, I accidentally went up Fifth Avenue instead of Madison Avenue and stumbled on the below, which I subsequently took a picture of with my smartphone at lunch:
Which, I realized is the same clock tower and building that appears on the cover of my novel - Doing Time on Planet Earth. Exactly the same. When I chose the cover - I hoped it was a photo of a building and clock tower in NYC, but had no way of knowing for certain. These "clock towers" appear all over NYC, some more ornate than others - and date back to the early 1900s.
The one that appeared on the cover of my novel is not only NYC but just a few blocks from where the principal action in the novel takes place.
