Dear Don and List,
In 'The X-Crystals' by Tom Rymour -- which is at the printers as we speak
-- one of the
perrys is an extant, ursine, claret-bibbing tabloid hack who answers to
Tom Learmont. Another character who actually exists is the photographer
Paul Paddington. Thse two have a brotherly relationship and have often
been taken for siblings even though they share no genes. Would this
qualify, at a push?
Best,
Tom (Rymour)
