Biography
Some of you may wonder why the book is written by Paul McDermott yet the name Paul fitz-George appears?
Well I became a 'new man' several years ago and took my wife Rosie's surname, as there is some interesting family history with it. I have however decided to show my old name on the book cover, a 'pen name' if you like, as this was the name on the original version when I wrote it back in 1987.
