Rob Houghton thought his books would attract an older readership, but he was happy to sign them anyway.

OMG, what are the odds! Image I humbly thank you all.

I haven't been around here as often as I used to. I seriously didn't think I would ever win. Again.

So, as you can appreciate, I haven't yet got a "captionable" picture ready. But I will hopefully post one over the weekend. Stay tuned!
