About the Author
BRIANNA DUMONT is author of the Changed History series, which makes history come alive by exposing its murky underbelly. The first book in the series, Famous Phonies: Legends, Fakes and Frauds who Changed History, includes gems about "I-must-not-tell-a-lie" George Washington and school-less Shakespeare. When she's not writing quirky books, Brianna travels the world in search of great museums and historical sites. At home, she is a full-time writer and researcher who is quickly becoming best friends with her local librarian.
