The course of F. A. Fisher’s life was determined in utero, when he was introduced to science fiction and fantasy by way of his mother’s reading The Chronicles of Narnia to his older sister. ​Though he grew up among the first generation where television was commonplace, his contrary nature meant that he spent most of his time reading. ​That contrariness continued in college, where he ignored his adviser and chose an area major, which allowed him to take whatever he wanted, with the result that his degree didn’t prepare him for any job whatsoever—except perhaps writing.

He was raised in an era without computers or even hand calculators, so naturally he got a master’s degree in Computer Science. ​And though he loved learning he always hated school, so of course he got his second master’s in Education. ​He’d wanted to become a writer from an early age, so it followed that he went through several other jobs, including two self-start companies, before putting out his first book.

Somewhere along the way he developed a deep and abiding hatred for typos. ​Fortunately, by this time his contrariness has abated, so if you find a typo in any of his books, let him know, and he’ll fix it.

His books so far are Cloaks, Pandir Decloaked, and The Girl in the Cloak.

Cloaks

Some doors are better left unopened . . . .

All Bess wanted was to find a different way out of Mr. Heldrick’s basement. She didn’t expect that the door she opened would lead to another world or that, within minutes, she’d be running for her life from cloaked, knife-wielding riders.

If she had, she would have taken the stairs. . . .

Pandir Decloaked

Heldrick and Grayvle put at risk their century-long plan to break the Citadel’s hold when they rescue Estrienn, a young woman caught traveling after curfew.  But when a neighbor girl is taken, and Heldrick agrees to let Estrienn go into the Citadel after her, they trigger an event that could change everything.

And Estrienn, it seems, has secrets of her own. . . .

 

 

 

 

The Girl in the Cloak

When Estrienn is caught reporting to Norvenmot in a seeming betrayal, her only opportunity for redemption is to obtain crucial information from Norvenmot and deliver it to Heldrick and Grayvle.

But while seeking that information, she unwittingly turns up a secret that threatens disaster for every person on the planet. With Norvenmot hatching plots and Heldrick struggling to retain power, she can only hope she gets her information to Heldrick before it is too late.
