Welcome Sandra Cox!
I met author Sandra Cox (online) the day I got my first publishing contract!
She’s an amazing author and a wonderful, supportive friend. She gets to take over my blog for two days to talk about her new work of fantasy and her great contest.

I have always found the idea of time travel intriguing. Going back to another time, meeting people you’ve read about in history books, finding out what it would be like to travel on a fast horse instead of a fast car.
If you had an opportunity to go back in time where would you go?
The time and place in history that fascinates me the most…Texas in 1836 when Texicans fought for their independence. The strength and courage of the people of Texas, and the people who fought by their side, has never failed to stir me. I am always amazed at the men who held the Alamo until they’d drawn their last breath, outnumbered in everything but courage.
From these two common denominators-time travel and Texas-SUNDIAL was born.
Excerpt:
Without conscious thought, Sarah began to move. A feeling of urgency welled inside her. She walked trancelike through the middle of the battle, intently scanning faces, looking for the beloved features of her lover.
Bewildered, she shook her head to clear it. She had no lover. But she kept walking, faster and faster. She’d lost him once, no twice. She couldn’t lose him again.
The black smoke from the powder was so thick she could only see a few feet in front of her. It was hard to breathe. Her lungs ached.
She shrieked as a man in a bloody uniform fell against her. Monet cried in piercing, high-pitched tones.
A Texan brandishing his rifle, like a club, swung in her direction.
She screamed in earnest.
