For many years, T.L. Fischer worked professionally with victims of family violence and violence against children. Every day Fischer saw how fortunate he had been as a child—to have had a loving home where he’d always felt safe. These experiences led Fischer to write about the Cozies and their world of simple pleasures, where imagination protects the innocent. Fischer holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from McGill University of Montreal, Canada, as well as advanced degrees in communications and law. While pursuing his education, Fischer studied in both France and England. While a very young man, he traveled the world, from the lava fields of eastern Idaho to Lake Baikal in Siberia. Fischer and his spouse, D, are avid dog lovers. D volunteers for animal welfare causes while Fischer writes.
