Hi everyone,

     Just for your information, there is a mystery novel written by Ramona
Maher, SECRET OF THE SUNDIAL, 1966 which takes place in El Paso, Texas.  She
describes an event in her story called: “Festival of the Shadowless moment”
which takes place across the border in Juares, Mexico on June 21 when the
sun is directly overhead.  A vertical stick will cast no shadow.  Of course
Juares, Mexico is not far enough south to be true.

     Apparently the author had an interest in sundials and incorporated it
into a story about some teenagers discovering sundials.   Writer’s license I
guess.   Everything else in the book was correct, her descriptions how
sundials work and terminology used.  A lot of detail about the steps
involved in making a vertical sundial for a fiction book.
