This author is also published under Fraser Sherman.

I started writing when I graduated college with a major I no longer wanted to use. Fortunately I turned out to be good at it. I write film reference books, historical fantasy, and Undead Sexist Cliches, a book dissecting the stupidity of misogynist arguments. Some of my books are under Fraser Sherman because I never thought the use of my middle initial would matter.

Personal stuff? I was born in England, spent most of my life in Florida, moved to Durham NC when I fell in love — and yes, it worked out great

There’s hype and then there’s hype with style

“Add a movie to the wonders of the world!” is, I think, in category B

I have not seen the movie but the sentiment from those who have is that the movie does not, in fact, rise to a wonder of the world. In case you were wondering.

All right to image remain with current holders.

Like a lot of anthologies this is a mixed bag. The best stories are outstanding, funny and romantic. The worst stories range from forgettable to annoying.

Dress Codes by Richard Thompson Ford

Ford argues that fashion began in the middle ages when sewn clothes (pants, leggings, gowns, jerkins, etc.) replaced robes that were simply draped clothes. With more variation and design possible, people began trying new things — and laws were soon p ...more

I can always use a good book to help me calm my "monkey mind" and focus. This was not a good book.
It gets two stars because if it was my first book on the topic, I'd find some use in it. It isn't. And it spends way too much time talking about the ben

It turns out our use of opium as a sedative probably goes back millennia. It's been chewed, snorted, traded, smuggled, smoked, and as morphine and heroin, injected. It's an invaluable painkiller; it's a deadly drug.
