The Vision of the Formosan Blue Magpie
By Yi-jung Chen
A few days ago, an unexpected email landed in our inbox. It was from Yi-jung Chen, a writer from Taiwan who was looking to connect with online magazines and share her work with new readers.
We had the opportunity to interview Yi-jung about her writing and inspirations. You can read the full interview here.
But Yi-jung did not just tell us about her writing — she also gave us the chance to experience it for ourselves. She kindly sent us one of her stories, which we are delighted to share with you as a reading sample.
So, instead of telling you what makes her writing special, we invite you to discover it for yourself.

Dietmar Kuegler has not only been a personal friend of the late editor Horst von Allwörden, but he had also been a friend of the Zauberspiegel and we published a lot on and from him till his death in Dezember of 2022. He has been one of the great friends of the United States in general, and in particular of the Wild West and its history.
Caring for his legacy and heritage has been the task of his wife, Karen Kuegler-Rugowski, who answered some questions on Dietmar's heritage and the publishing of the first of his stories in the United States. (German version see here)
