James Fell has a master’s degree in history that his mom paid for. He dedicated his previous book The Holy Sh!t Moment (St. Martin’s Press, 2019) to her, so he’s calling it even.

​​​​​​​Fell has written popular columns for the Los Angeles Times, ​​​​​​​the Chicago Tribune, Chatelaine, and AskMen. His work has also appeared in TIME Magazine, the Guardian, NPR, Men’s Health, and Women’s Health. In 2019, Chris “Captain America” Evans shared his piece about how stupid and bigoted the notion of a “straight pride parade” is, and it turned into an international media sh!tnado. That was fun.

​​​​​​​Fell used to be a fitness guy, which is why his Facebook and Twitter—where you can read the ongoing saga of On This Day in History, Sh!t Went Down—are both dubbed @BodyForWife. Speaking of, Fell and his lovely wife, to whom he dedicated his first book, were forced to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary at home in Calgary instead of Maui because f*cking Covid.
