The Flight of the Sorceress is now in print!
Many friends and readers have responded to my prior posts, admitting to their troglodyte tendencies and requesting notification when my historical novel The Flight of the Sorceress comes out in print.
Now it’s here, and with a brand new cover!
Here’s what people are saying:
“A read that will keep you turning the pages! …(M)eticulously researched and beautifully portrayed….Willdorf’s prose brings the moment alive. The themes explored in this book, of prejudice and power, are deftly interwoven with the beliefs of the time. The conflict manages to educate and compel at the same time and you can’t help but feel for these women, who are so grossly over-matched but who still do not give up... (A) rare look at a time and place not often seen in historical fiction …that will keep you turning the pages!” Historical Novel Review, by Vanitha Sankaran, author of Watermark. http://historicalnovelreview.blogspot.com
“Locks you in for the ride” Ransom Stephens, author of The God Patent.
“Big, Bold, Imaginative…Spectacular women characters…Soars majestically.” Jonah Raskin, author of Natives, Newcomers, Exiles, Fugitives.
“Rich in ideas…Compelling characters…A page-turner to boot.” Holly Shumas, author of Five Things I Can’t Live Without, and Love and Other Natural Disasters
“The only problem I had with the book was that it ended. Hopefully, there will be sequel.” Stan Goldberg is the author of the award winning book, Lessons for Living: Stories of Forgiveness, Gratitude, and Courage at the End of Life
“A stirring adventure tale that is also a timely warning.” James Warner, host and co-producer of InsideStoryTime, voted SF Weekly BEST NEW READING SERIES 2006
The historical research is fantastic! The settings just “breathe” they are so real. Joel Gates. Clayton, NC.
I read the book and enjoyed it and passed it along to my book club, many of whom went right out and downloaded it to the Kindles. Darlene Meskell, Washington D.C.
Thoroughly engaging. … Your book gave this world a substance and point of view that made me want to read more and understand the change better. John Nash, Molokai, HI.

FLIGHT OF THE SORCERESS: THE LIBYAN CONNECTION, JEWS AND QADDAFI
Posted by Barry Willdorf in The Flight of the Sorceress, What's New on March 31, 2011
One of the major theme points of my historical novel The Flight of the Sorceress resolves around Original Sin and its relationship with the Pelagian Heresy, the counter doctrine that good works alone can win the Kingdom of Heaven. St. Augustine, the great proponent of Original Sin, is a moving force in my novel. His work City of God provides a dramatic backdrop to Glenys’s revelation of sexual trauma. St. Augustine was a native of town in what is now eastern Algeria. In 396 A.D. he became the Bishop of Hippo Regius. This area, along with modern Tunisia and much of Libya is in the province that the Romans called Numidia.
The Roman province of Numidia lends itself to many scenes in my historical novel, The Flight of the Sorceress. Major scenes take place in ancient Carthage and the Auras Mountains in Tunisia. Numidia, what is now called Al Maghreb, in the years of The Flight of the Sorceress was a Christian land. Its spiritual leadership was in the hands of men like St. Augustine, pillars of the Roman Catholic Church and they held power under the auspices of the Roman legions. Read the rest of this entry »
