For Your Eyes Only
The World Premiere of SPECTRE took place on this day a year ago. The premiere was held at the Royal Albert Hall, London. pic.twitter.com/cRB3ccBN5f — James Bond (@007) October 26, 2016 It doesn’t seem like a year since Spectre was released: to be honest, it’s more like several years. 2016, as many people will attest,…

Seeing Things
I’ll be honest with you, I don’t like doing things by halves. Most definitely, I am an all or nothing girl. I totally grasp the notion of devotion too: the number of times I’ve fallen in love with people/ideas/inanimate objects and never had it reciprocated? Too many to count. When you play fast and loose with…

Running Scared
Those of you paying attention will notice a new page has appeared in my menu bar, and that there’s two new writing projects on the table under ‘Non Fiction’ in the Work in Progress area. I’ve never really considered working on projects outside the comfort zone of gaming before, and whilst you’ll see everyone and…

Almost Home
I can see light at the end of the Bond tunnel. Last night I finally filled in the holes of plot that had been avoiding me for a couple of weeks, by effectively trashing a 10 thousand word section. ‘Kill your darlings’ is the thing I’ve always struggled with when writing, assuming that because a…

Imagination
This morning, a tweet sent me down a rabbit hole. i watched a bunch of spy movies and developed this extremely accurate FBI floorplan pic.twitter.com/h6ErusbsnA — monica heisey (@monicaheisey) April 6, 2016 I took one look at this and freaked, because not only is it a) funny and b) probably more accurate than I’d care to…

That Joke isn’t Funny Anymore
Dear @DailyMailUK, I don’t read your newspaper, but my parents do, and I’m sure they’d have garnered much amusement this morning at your (quite blatant) April Fool’s Joke that Olivia Coleman will be the next James Bond. Please note that I have no desire to promote any more click-throughs of this story by giving you…

Where I Stood
The Bechdel Test, if you are not already aware of it, is quite significant for many women in popular culture. In its simplest form? Bechdel ‘asks whether a work of fiction features at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man. The requirement that the two women must be named is…

The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret
This man saved my life in the week. Not literally, you understand, but in a purely metaphorical manner, and not the actor I might add but the character that he plays. Have I confused you enough yet? That’s Gareth Mallory, current head of MI6 in Eon Productions ‘James Bond 007’ Universe and he turned up…

Secret Agent Man
There is a point in Spectre, after the first snow-based chase sequence of Daniel Craig’s tenure, when Bond confronts Madeline Swann, having rescued her from the bad guys. She asks: ‘Why should I trust you?’ before a clearly exasperated Bond replies ‘Because right now I’m your best chance of staying alive.’ The audience already knows this…

The Heart Wants what it Wants
I have a problem. Ever since I finished my Bond ‘fiction’ before SPECTRE was released, there’s been a coda in my head. Mostly, it has a lot to do with me getting the right hump with the return of an organisation I’d have dearly liked to have seen remain dead and buried. However, as I’m…
