Rhys Hughes has blogged about his habit of including real people in his novels and stories, and I was indeed "glad and amused" to find a Theaker on the list!
A free copy of Five Forgotten Stories (now available on Amazon) to the first person (other than Rhys himself!) to identify the story in which the character Theaker Peculiar appears…
There was also a (John) Theaker in Mike Chinn's Sailors of the Skies, a Damian Paladin story in Dark Horizons #55.
Add those to my cameo appearances in those terrible Howard Phillips novels we used to publish in TQF and my place in literary history would seem to be assured...
Possibly the UK's second longest-running sf/f fiction zine.
