Wrathful Empathies, The 14th Colony will feature more time travel of your favorite characters from The 2nd Raid on Harpers Ferry. I am also incorporating insights from my hikes in Spain, specifically Galicia, to flesh out the history for one of my favorite characters: Magda, the magical food wagon gypsy, is really a time traveling witch from medieval Spain. While hiking through Galacian towns and villages, I kept seeing small witch dolls affixed inside taverns, stores, or to the occasional farm fence. Intrigued, I researched available literature and discovered the area’s fixation with witches. Also, I may have seen one myself. That’s when I got the idea to create a personal history for my fictional Magda character based on the historical Galacian woman accused of witchcraft (probably eye curses). While she survived physical interrogation during the inquisition, her fame grew as she literally and figuratively disappeared from history. She is something of a heroine in Galician folktales. As a writer, I imagine that she didn’t just disappear but transited onto the Golden path. Now, she travels across my story lines as the mysterious Magda who magically appears whenever fellow time traveling characters need nourishment and rescue.
