True tales of trials and errors over the long, strange course of legal history, from the authors of Doctors Killed George Washington. Did you know... If a husband in ancient Rome caught his wife drinking wine, he had the legal right to kill her. Gandhi, John Cleese, and Julio Iglesias were all lawyers before moving on to other jobs. The ice cream sundae was invented as part of an effort to get around the law. The Scots outlawed golf in 1457-and again during the Second World War. With more than five hundred fascinating facts about law through the ages and colorful characters in courtroom history, Dracula Was a Lawyer is filled with compelling quips and stories about lawyers we love to hate (until we need one!), the pitfalls in our legal system, celebrity attorneys, wild trials, and bizarre battles between opposing parties.

He is a full-time writer specializing in somewhat off-beat trivia books.

His bees produce 650 pounds of honey per year (59 gallons, 472 pint jars).
