The Secret Origins of James Bond

Hi there, I've written an article exploring the influence of Dennis Wheatley on Ian Fleming and the development of the character of James Bond. A link, and more about it (plus several other Bond-related articles) here: http://bit.ly/bW6paB Be interested to know what you think!

    I just read your initial blog entry and look forward to reading your longer article this weekend! I don't believe I've heard of Dennis Wheatley . . .

    Cheers,

    Wheatley was a massively successful British author in his day, but has fallen out of favour. He knew Ian Fleming, and was a colleague and friend of his brother Peter. I hope you enjoy the piece - it took several years of research to write it. :)

    Another great article every literary Bond fan really needs to read. Most recommended!
