MP3 File

Jon Fischer was born with a medical condition that he is very up front about.  This condition causes him to suffer from severe headaches and mood swings. In fact, a therapist once claimed that Jon was "Touched with Fire," which is a very popular book about the Manic-Depressive illness and the artistic temperament. He started to draw and paint as a child, then furthered his education in the arts at college.  He took up writing later in life.

Some might never know he has an intellect unless they saw what he produces while in the creative process. Jon lives a very simple life and quiet life of contemplation in Rhode Island and, as you will see, is very humble towards others.  People that know him best understand how he has struggled with depression and mania.

Alaric Fischer was born into the promise of eternity. An artist and highly advanced dreamer of things to come, he built a small empire around his artwork. Yet hungry for things that come from beyond, he loses sight of the natural world.

Entering the road to tame his delusions, he is faced with the challenge of altering the course of reality. The opponent of death becomes a matter of reinventing the wheel on the level of a cosmic chess board. Coming closer to define an alternative to existence, Alaric discovers he is the artificial intelligence of an author gone mad with the game of God. What comes of these dreams that soar through the soul of devouring one meager life may have a hunger for all of mankind. He who writes of the weather controls the course of human evolution.
