Bob Fischer

Bob Fischer is a lifelong science fiction and fantasy fan who has previously enjoyed careers as a record shop owner, a solo singer-songwriter and a short-lived Elvis impersonator (one gig). He now works as a radio presenter for BBC Tees, a job that has seen him spill tea over Jack Charlton’s antique fireplace and sing on a UK Top 10 hit single (‘Bunsen Burner’ by John Otway, No 9 in October 2002). Bob has also won a prestigious Sony Radio Award . . . just a bronze though, so don’t get too excited. Bob has dabbled with writing before, but Wiffle Lever To Full! is the first major project he’s ever actually finished. Or, indeed, started. He lives near Middlesbrough with a tall girlfriend who thinks old-school Doctor Who is ‘rubbish’, and a medium-sized dog that doesn’t mind the Jon Pertwee era, but if pressed would admit to preferring Blake’s 7.
