Bernice Fischer

Bernice Fischer is a South African fantasy writer who created the Jeff Madison series for teen and younger readers. Jeff Madison and the Shimmers of Drakmere is the first adventure, sending Jeff through a moonglow doorway after his brother Matt is carried into the magical kingdom of Drakmere. The story builds its quest around brothers, dream catchers, cloaked strangers, and the limited time before the doorway closes. Quickfox Publishing issued the novel in 2014, and Fischer continued the setting in Jeff Madison and the Curse of Drakwood Forest. The audiobook is narrated by Matt Wolfe and appears on SOVAS's live 2015 nominees page in the Audiobook Narration – Children’s Pre-School (Infant to 12), Best Voiceover category. Fischer has described dialogue, humor, and distinct character voices as central to how she imagines fantasy. Jeff Madison and the Shimmers of Drakmere brings those interests together in a portal adventure where loyalty to family gives Jeff a clear reason to enter an unknown realm.
