Couple more things
Over at On Fiction Writing, I've been interviewed for the infamous Rack! Check it out via this link: http://onfictionwriting.com/rack/Jason-Fischer/62/ And I've just sold a collaboration with author Martin Livings to good old Antipodean SF! "Art, Ink" will be...
Author Appearances in April – FischFest 2013
While not exactly starving and moping in a garret, there are sometimes big stretches of time where I don't get to conventions or other cool Writery Things. This year, I attempt to mitigate this by taking two interstate trips with a couple of weeks of each other. First...
Drusilla the Ditmar Diprotodon, Part Deux
"Hey you! Nominate my boy, or I'll slap you upside the head with my swagger stick!" Of course, Drusilla the Ditmar Diprotodon is my friend first and foremost. So when I called on her to help me pimp my own work for this year, why she slapped on her purple pimp hat...
Thus Spake Drusilla the Ditmar Diprotodon
Some of you might remember last year when I introduced you to Drusilla, the Ditmar Diprotodon. This time-travelling spokesmammal of Australian SF has apparently remained in our time-stream, mostly for the fiction. Rumours of the secret megafauna invasion are still...

Because I’m a promotional NINJA
No matter what I do with this writing thing, I like to have fun with it. Some of you may know that I have a new book "Quiver" available here. As a commercial artist it is of course in my best interests to promote my own product, but there's nothing worse than spamming...
The Rabbit Hole of Research
It's bloody great fun to fall down the rabbit hole of research. One of my favourite parts of writing is the conception stage, where you get to play fast and loose in the land of what-if. You know, collect shiny things, see how they fit together, woolgather and...
New Review of Midnight Echo #8
A new review has just gone up of Midnight Echo #8, the issue that contains my story Pigroot Flat. Reviewer OzNoir says: "PIGROOT FLAT by Jason Fischer flips the script on zombie horror by introducing an all too real horror amidst the dust and desolate Australian...
Fisch Industries: The Current State of Play
So we find ourselves in 2013. The world did not end, which was fortunate - it turns out I can continue to write about the world ending with complete impunity. Huzzah! I've had a small break from writing and scratched my video game itch. The only problem being that...

Easter Eggs that can be found in Quiver
I'm a massive fan of "easter eggs", meaning when intentional hidden messages, inside jokes, motifs and homages are hidden inside other works. That, plus my love of puns and other word bastardry, means I have included several easter eggs within my new novel "Quiver"....
Today, Quiver goes LIVE
Hi folks, Well, it's all official-like. My first full-length novel "Quiver" is now officially on sale, and available both in hard-copy and as an e-book. Publisher Baden Kirgan at Black House Comics has put together a stunning new website for the book, the aptly...
