Regarding Ian Fleming, yes of course the Bond novels have been a massive influence on me, and are certainly one reason I am writing about a British agent in the Sixties. I don't know if I'd have written Free Agent if I hadn't gone back and read Fleming and enjoyed him, but I suppose if I had it would have been different in several ways.Jeremy Dunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442728222534667107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138728502354978457.post-33290259365059701742010-08-07T12:21:51.934+02:002010-08-07T12:21:51.934+02:00You said in the interview you didnt enjoy Fleming&...You said in the interview you didnt enjoy Fleming's Bond books first time round when you were younger. I am glad you went back to them later in life and enjoyed them, do you think us Dark fans might not have got Paul Dark if you didnt go back and enjoy them?<br /><br />Very sad news to hear Jon Cleary's passing. It was good that your article came out in his lifetime and that the amazing story has now been told. The article stands as a wonderful tribute to Jon Cleary.Nick Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328019045417555028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138728502354978457.post-17034672381856708892010-08-07T00:27:19.919+02:002010-08-07T00:27:19.919+02:00Thanks, Chris - it should be available in Australi...Thanks, Chris - it should be available in Australia now, but let me know if you can't find it. And say hi to Dave for me! Has he moved?<br /><br />Thanks for the kind comments about the Unbound interview, Nicholas. It was conducted on an overnight sleeper between Peking and... no, I tell a lie, it was indeed a cafe, in Harrogate. :) Glad you enjoyed The Diamond Smugglers article. Thriller-writing has lost one of its great practitioners in Jon Cleary. And he was great fun to talk to.Jeremy Dunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442728222534667107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138728502354978457.post-14093420767111818772010-08-05T19:42:21.380+02:002010-08-05T19:42:21.380+02:00The interview from Unbound was a treat.

That was the Bond highlight of the year for me with what could have been. It would have been fantastic with Steve McQueen as the lead. <br /><br />Plenty of intresting snippets about Dark. And it was all conducted on a steam train? Or Cafe with a coffee machine.Nick Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328019045417555028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138728502354978457.post-47264044969851493592010-08-05T13:41:32.101+02:002010-08-05T13:41:32.101+02:00Exciting times.

Of course, we both agreed that you didn't deserve a second book.<br /><br />Neither of us envious, of course. Much! :)<br /><br />Best of luck with it.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02954491818835301102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138728502354978457.post-88459290225842318012010-08-05T11:59:24.676+02:002010-08-05T11:59:24.676+02:00Thanks, John!Thanks, John!Jeremy Dunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442728222534667107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138728502354978457.post-13469718892404596792010-08-05T06:58:31.763+02:002010-08-05T06:58:31.763+02:00Good luck with the new release.Good luck with the new release.John Dishonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558398043912727852noreply@blogger.com
