About the author

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
