I was born at a very early age (coincidentally on my birthday) in a small town just outside of Wedlock. Everything was in Black & White when I was a child and colour wasn't invented in my world until I was six. Immodestly I'd say that I have many achievements; Three Design degrees, Hugo Award runner-up, Olympic Silver medal, Legion d'Honour, BAFTA for Most Promising Newcomer 1975, Nobel Prize for Literature and a clutch of Five Gold Star Trophies from the Professional Liars Club.
