Max Willi Fischer

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.

For nearly forty years, I was a classroom teacher at the elementary and middle school level. I taught most subjects in fifth and sixth grades as well as world history and American history at grades seven and eight.

When I retired, I believed I could engage young adults in the rich history of our land. My first book of historical fiction, "The Corkscrew App" was published in 2016. In 2020, "American Brush-Off" debuted on Amazon and Kindle Select.

Now, with both of our daughters out on their own, my wife and I enjoy home projects, travel and good movies.
