Its really nice to know that one of my photos is now gracing the living room wall of a famous author! In exchange, Lee kindly signed a copy for me, which is now hanging in my own study.

 

Lee has a really interesting blog at http://leechild.com/ where you can find out all about his latest books, appearances, interviews etc.

 

This is the photo Lee likes so much:

We had not heard of this competition before, but with his scientific background our photographer Dave found the event very interesting.
