Contest winner learns his fate
DJ Paterson was a co-winner of my last contest and so has a character in The Memory Collector named after him. He sent this photo and message:
“Attached is a photo capturing the moment I realised that my character may have what Mother Nature never saw fit to let me have. An Afro!”
