(view spoiler)[Ive recently read the brother wulf book, and as someone who enjoys all your books this one quickly became a favorite. My holy question is why you chose to use St. Quentin, and refer to him as the patron saint of locksmith, when he wasnt thays would be St.Baldomerus, St. Quentin had little information about his life, I only ask to know if there was some other meaning to his use or if it was just a random named picked?

Some sources clearly identify St Quentin as the patron saint of locksmiths. St Quentin Prison in USA is named after him because they need good locks to imprison people there! You must have heard the song by Johnny Cash?
Of course, other sources may name St Baldomerus (I like that name and may use it in another book!) but I didn't find him when I did a search. Many saints are the patron of more than one thing - some have whole lists of responsibilities! So he was not randomly picked. Glad that you enjoyed the books.
