Hobbadehoy Rising
Newly released!
An ebook from Historium Press
In the Five Points of Lower Manhattan in 1854, trust is a stranger. A seventeen-year-old orphan, Pencil, is considered a “hobbadehoy”—not a boy, but not yet a man. Shipped off to Ohio and in the face of bias, superstition, grave robbers, and kidnappers, can he learn to trust in order for justice to prevail?
American Brush-Off
The forgotten internment of World War II . . . It’s 1942, and seventeen-year-old Lud Mueller is an All-American boy. He’s got it all—looks, athletic ability, popularity, and the sweetest girl between Chicago and New York. Now the only country he’s ever known has a plan to tear his life to pieces without giving him a fighting chance.
Revelations from the Dead: Chronicles of the Night Waster
$.99 Kindle sale October 19-26!
In an era where the void of science is filled with superstition, some believe the “Night Waster” preys upon the blood of the living to keep the dead alive. Thomas Sullivan, a cabinetmaker’s apprentice in northeastern Connecticut, helps the Shaffer family confront the ravages of the Night Waster while dealing with his own father’s rejection of him.
The Corkscrew App
An historical novel in the form of time-travel from now! Fourteen-year-old Justin Deveraux thinks Corkscrew is just another role-playing app on his father’s phone. When he realizes that it actually transports the player back in time, it is too late—he is already in the summer of 1754.
The story kept me enthralled through the entirety of the book...I do have to say one of the greatest moments I’ve experienced in a book in a long time came about when Lud set his eyes on a very great icon—a perfect greeter for those who wanted nothing more than to live in this amazing country. At this moment, Lud was truly emotional, and it’s a given that any reader’s heart will be struck by the compelling, brutal, and riveting moments this book possesses throughout.
Amy Lignor, The Feathered Quill, reviewing American Brush-Off, September, 2020.
Readers immersed in today's struggles over COVID will find much to recognize in this vivid story of discovery, recovery, and threats that stem from illness, evil, legends, and lost treasure alike. The plot, characters, and historical setting are very well done, and though the plot shifts unexpectedly, at times, readers remain involved and interested to the end.
Diane Donovan, Donovan's Bookshelf, reviewing Revelations From the Dead: Chronicles of the Night Waster December, 2020.
"My sons, ages 11 and 13, both enjoyed this book. I read it first to make sure it was appropriate for their age group (it is!) and I think most adults would like it as well..... After reading both the Corkscrew App and American Brush-Off, we're M.W. Fischer fans!"

I sometimes wonder if my family's background had some unknown impact on my interest in history. I grew up in a bilingual household with German immigrant parents. My father followed his aunt and uncle to America to find work. Family get-togethers were small because the rest of our family remained in Germany. My father worked two jobs to improve our lives and put my brother and me through school. He will always be the most respected man I have known and the ultimate role model.
