Brig-Wallis is up on Kindle

As of Saturday, September 2, Brig-Wallis Preparatory School for Boys, the first book of the Osiris Plan trilogy is up and for sale on Amazon's Kindle world. The on-demand paperback version was supposed to be available on Friday but dear old Drew, old-fashioned techno-splat that he is, failed to fill out a form or two correctly and thus missed the date. Oh, well. September 4, 5 or 6 will work fine.
     It is exciting to see the image and description and "buy" option on the Amazon screen, but I feel slightly "cheated" by the length of time this process took because hurricanes Harvey and Irma are playing out two scenarios that I wrote about (predictively) seven months ago. Oh, well. We'll see if some of the other things I predict as result of these mega-storms begin to play out over the coming months.
     This does, however, provoke me into considering a more accelerated pattern of release dates for the next two books (they are, after all, ready). I mean, we could release them all in September and then the complete story would be available and then there'd be no "tease" of having to make the reader wait to follow the story line to its end--which makes some sense to me. (I am not in this for the money.) But then, some of the fun is in the time line: "I have till November to finish book one," or "perfect timing for a Christmas present," etc. I'm thinking now of an early October release of book two, The Heirs of Osiris, and a November 6 release of the finale, The Triumph of Osiris--that way the whole series will be available as Black Friday binge-buys, Christmas gifts, and vacation reading! We'll see. I still like the timing of the September 30 promotional day, in honor of my wife Toril's 50th birthday, November 6 for book two in honor of my daughter Hannah's birthday, and the finale on February 2--Groundhog Day, Toril and my favorite holiday and my new son-in-law Steve's birthday. We'll see. I'll keep you posted.

The Architecture of the Buildings of Brig-Wallis Prep School, Part 4: Aubrey Hall

The Brig-Wallis Preparatory School for Boys campus's southernmost building, Aubrey Hall, was built over the site on which the pre-existing residence quarters for the Jesuit priests, their staff and animals, stood. With the purchase of the two properties on Polenstrasse late in 1806, it was quickly decided to raze these southernmost buildings and use Merchant House for the small school's initial residency. Throughout the first half of 1807, while debris and remnants were being cleared from the property, competing architectural design ideas were being commissioned. By June, a comprehensive design had been approved. The new campus would incorporate three new, inter-connected buildings  to be constructed to the south of, and connected to, both Merchant House and the Chapel. A general contractor had been hired, and various construction companies--Swiss, Italian, French, and German--had been hired to perform the task.      It should here be put forward the fact that the Order of Osi

Does the author, Drew Fisher, actually believe what he's writing about?

The question has come up a few times whether or not I really believe the theories and "cause of the end of the world" scenarios that I write about in the Osiris Plan trilogy. The short answer is: Yes. The longer answer is: This story is representational of my current beliefs with regard to metaphysics, cosmology, and the meaning and significance of human life; I truly see the human condition as an adventure within a set of thespian opportunities.      What I hope to imply here is that I am still growing; I am trying the to best of my abilities to remain open to new information--to remain open and willing to continue the process of expanding my beliefs, of continuing to be discriminating yet accepting and inclusive of new ideas and experiences. My beliefs and knowledge have, I think, been evolving in a way that I'd like to think are expansive. My conscious perspective has been progressing from narrow, ego- and anthropo-centric, to broader, morespiritual-based.      I hav

Brig-Wallis Architecture, Part 2: The Quad

The decision to build a training center/school and "home base" for the Order of Osiris had been bandied about for about 20 years before it was finally committed to. Long before the location for the school grounds had been decided upon and secured, there had been discussions and decisions made regarding campus designs and structures. Originally, it had been thought that an existing building would be the most natural (and simplest) scenario with which to work. But artistic natures being what they are, members of the Order soon realized how strong was their desire to build something "of their own." Thus, when the adjacent properties on the outskirts of Brig-Glis were purchased in 1806, an architectural design was already in hand.      The fully enclosed, inward-facing "quadrangular" arrangement of the school's buildings was based on the design of the "Mod Quad" at Merton College, Oxford, England--with which all Order members were familiar.
