Welcome!
I’m T.R. Fischer, a writer of romantic suspense rooted in courage and faith. My stories follow ordinary people placed in extraordinary danger—where conviction is tested, love is refined, and trust in God becomes more than comfort; it becomes strength.
For twenty-five years, I raised bison—ten of those years overlapping with the writing and publication of my first novel. Life on the ranch deepened my understanding of resilience, instinct, and endurance, and later inspired my children’s books drawn from true bison history and hard-won lessons from real experience.
A little more about me...
I grew up in Boulder, Colorado. As the ninth of ten girls, born to a nurse and a firefighter, day to day life was brimming with estrogen-laced commotion, thrilling firefighting stories and hospital tales.
An avowed tomboy, I wanted nothing to do with the drama some of my sisters cooked up. My main interest was real-life adventure. When I wasn’t in school, I was busy exploring the streets and back alleys in what I viewed as the tiny kingdom of Boulder. My insatiable curiosity and penchant for adventure took me and my friends all over town on our bikes, and occasionally on the double-decker buses that frequented Pearl Street, not far from my home.
A few decades ago, my husband and I fell down the proverbial rabbit hole and began raising bison. Because raising four rowdy children was a lot of fun, but what can I say? We’re adrenaline junkies. We came to love the furry beasts and eventually developed a bison attraction where we shared their amazing comeback story and offered an up-close interaction with them for our guests.
Now that our children are grown, I’m chasing new dreams. After spending several years hosting the bison-related events with my talented husband in Colorado and then Oklahoma, we settled in Wyoming. I’m writing books and he’s writing music, and we collaborate on various creative projects.
