Wanda Fischer began writing seriously when she was in the second grade. She has loved baseball since she was nearly eight years old. At one point in her life, she aspired to become a sportswriter; however, in the mid-to-late 1960s, that avenue was difficult for women to pursue. After retiring from a 40-year career in public relations/marketing/media relations, she parlayed her love of America's pastime into her first novel, "Empty Seats," which is not necessarily about her favorite team, the Boston Red Sox. Since that her debut novel appeared, she has released a second book, "A Few Bumps," along with several short stories, all of which are available on Amazon. When not writing or watching baseball, she's listening to folk music for her show, "The Hudson River Sampler," on WAMC-FM, the Albany, New York National Public Radio affiliate--a program she's done since September 1982. In February 2019, the Folk Alliance International inducted her into its Folk Music DJ Hall of Fame. The Proctors Collaborative also inducted her into the local Thomas Edison Music Hall of Fame in 2023 to recognize the work she has done to promote music in New York's Capital Region. In 2012, she auditioned to become the public address announcer for the Red Sox and made the finals for the job, but ultimately wasn't chosen. On August 5, 2012, she announced a complete game between the Red Sox and Minnesota Twins on "Vermont Day." She and her husband Bill, a retired physician, met at a coffeehouse at Boston College in 1966 and were married in 1973. They have two grown children and six grandchildren. They live in Schenectady, New York.
