I'm always looking to learn new things about Bond's creator. I've read the Lycett and Pearson biographies multiple times, and have just ordered Harling's memoir and a second-hand copy of Ann Fleming's letters. <br /><br />What I find fascinating, in addition to his unique writing style, is the way he lived his life. He did so on his own terms with little care for the consequences. I've always thought there's something incredibly courageous about it. <br /><br />Thanks for your kind words about the Churchill book. Winston, like Ian, is a big inspiration!<br /><br />Cheers, <br /><br />Simon<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117416349695015821.post-59352703091146715362016-01-02T20:31:46.442+00:002016-01-02T20:31:46.442+00:00Hi Simon,
Thanks for getting in touch - I really ...Hi Simon,<br /><br />Thanks for getting in touch - I really appreciate it. I'm glad you like my blog. I've been writing the blog for over five years now, and am still learning a lot about Ian Fleming and his work. He certainly keeps me busy! And like you, I find Ian Fleming inspirational. Even in my other writing (I'm an archaeologist with a few archaeological tomes and reports to my name) I try to keep Fleming's writing style in mind. Winston Churchill is, of course, another inspirational figure (and one of Fleming's heroes to boot). Your volume, Winston Churchill Reporting, looks fascinating. Will certainly buy a copy of that.<br /><br />All the best,<br />EdwardEdward Biddulphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958778222555710461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117416349695015821.post-20724083823785074332016-01-02T02:44:37.397+00:002016-01-02T02:44:37.397+00:00Hi, Edward . . . love the blog and your insight in...Hi, Edward . . . love the blog and your insight into Bond and his creator. Fleming has long been my favorite author--indeed, he's the reason I, too, became a writer. Looking forward to working my way through the rest of your site and reading future posts!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Simon<br /><br />www.winstonchurchillreporting.com<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
