Bernard, just finished Lords of the North and can’t wait for the next installment. My question is about the editing process, I know that some publishers will edit books to within an inch of their lives, sometimes until the published book is unrecognizable from the manuscript. I know of some authors who have disowned books because of this. Did you ever have this problem in you early career? Because of your status as a respected author are your works now left pretty much alone by editors? or are you now so skilled and aware of what editors do that you avoid the ‘chaff’ during the writing stage? Thank you for your time, keep up the good work…..now hurry up and get on with the next ‘Uhtred’, Kevin
