Jeffery Deaver "Carte Blanche" Book Signing

Jeffery Deaver author of the new James Bond novel "Carte Blanche" held a book signing in Houston, TX and I made the trip down to meet him. The book signing was at a wonderful bookstore called "Murder by the Book." Mr. Deaver gave an enjoyable and informative talk about Bond and his personal writing style, followed by a Q & A and book signing.

I was number 42, which has special significance for fans of LOST and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If you have a chance to go see Mr. Deaver I highly recommend it.

I'm looking forward to reading the book.

Raymond Benson - James Bond Phenomenon

Today I had the opportunity to meet Raymond Benson, the author of six James Bond continuation novels. He was doing his presentation of "Raymond Benson - James Bond Phenomenon" at Lone Star College in Conroe, Texas. It's only a few hours drive from where I live so I went and Mr. Benson was nice enough to autograph my books and pose for a picture.

I'll also include my fan art posters based on the novels written by Mr. Benson if they had been adapted to the screen. My personal favorite is DoubleShot. After I reread Mr. Benson's novels I may make some more poster based on his work.

 

Bond - Live and Let Die Novel Cover

MI6 Community is having a Live and Let Die book cover contest and I thought I might take a stab at it. I went for something a little unusual. A retro 60s look that's heavy on typography where I was able to turn the number seven in a shark fin. I'm not sure I completely like it but it is different.
