Characters from Silver Skin

Starting to collect pictures for the Art section of the soon-to-be Silver Skin website - I'm hoping to have images from readers in that bit.  (So handy having an artist living in the house, to get the ball rolling!  Who, knowing what is good for him, has read the book.)  And I'm down to Edinburgh this weekend to meet up with my website builder, who bears a remarkable resemblance to another son of mine.  But it's not nepotism.  Not exactly.  They'd have to be my nephews* for that ...

This is Voy -

*For, as Wikipedia tells us:
"The term comes from Italian word nepotismo which is based on Latin root nepos meaning nephew.  Since the Middle Ages and until the late 17th century, some Catholic popes and bishops, who had taken vows of chastity, and therefore usually had no legitimate offspring of their own, gave their nephews such positions of preference as were often accorded by fathers to son."

Yeah, of course those Pope's nephews were their nephews.
I'm looking forward to Silver Skin - be sure to let us know when the website is up.
