Anyone can write a book. It does not have to be accurate or "proven" to be published. Combining fact & fantasy appears to be quite common. There is something about our society that respects "authors". The every day citizen however gets no respect, we are apparently so ignorant as to swallow everything we are served! Go to the library & read for free ( or do the garge sale/thrift shop thing) & then decide who you wish to support with your hard earned dollars! $10.00 or more for a paperback?? We reading addicts could go banktupt with this passion! :)
peace & joy,
