Carrie Lofty won the "Through the Garden Gate" historical contest from The Wild Rose Press, in the vintage category (1950s-60s). This time travel short, "SUNDIAL," tells the story of Mark Lacey, a New Yorker from 1987. He's been trapped in 1950s Sorrento, Italy for four years, since he was 16. Thirty-year-old Australian Amber Schulman--daughter of a globe-hopping, thrice-divorced ambassador father--is from 2007. She just arrived in 1958, and they're trying their best to make sense of the crazy mixed-up thing that is time travel, love and life. And then they have The Hot, Hot Sex.
