007 and The Beatles, a love-hate relationship
Today I had the opportunity to write for The Spy Command about one of my favorite topics: James Bond.
007's love-hate relationship with The Beatles
Although it’s hard to imagine now, there was a time when some people
didn’t like the music from The Beatles. Back in 1964, the group was
still a relatively new band that the teenagers went crazy over. In
contrast, adults thought of The Beatles as a fad, as ephemeral as a
lightening. Oh, and they also thought The Beatles made nothing but
noise.

Writing about public speaking
They say the fear of speaking in public is only rivaled by the fear of death. I'm not sure if that´s true, but will admit that if feels true. I had a hard time overcoming my fear of public speaking and learned a few lessons on the way.
Today I was a guest at Julie Lomoe´s blog where I discuss that very topic.

New Forgotten Tomes column in TopShelf Magazine
Literally meeting Bond by J. H. Bográn
It’s dark
times for fans of the most enduring movie franchise of all time. Much like 2016
was the “Year without the Doctor” for fans of Doctor Who, the James Bond fans
have seen nothing since 2015´s Spectre, and plans for a new movie are in the
pre-production limbo, a most fearsome place to be, once that has claimed Bond
for up to six years—from License to Kill (1987) to Goldeneye (1995). This has
left fans with not much choice but dusting off the old DVD or newer Blue-Ray
copies of the previous 24 movies. I’m here to offer another lifeline, one that
perhaps has already occurred to some, but not to all fans: Get to meet James
Bond, literally, by reading the books. You can start with Ian Flemming’s, then
carry on to recent authors like Raymond Benson and Jeffery Deaver.
