Please would you enlighten my ignorance. Who is Colonel John Wessmiller? You have dedicated The Fort to him and, I quite agree that you are entitled to dedicated your books as you please. I have just finished reading, for the second time, your series about Uhtred, brilliant read! Not perhaps a woman’s series but I really enjoy the way you write. I read them in the wrong order, starting with The Burning Land. It was amazing, I was hooked from the first word. Looking forward to receiving the latest in this series, its already on my wish list. Best wishes Marion Balderstone
