Please find posted below a link to a brand new literary and cinematic James Bond blog that I have had set up called The Bondologist Blog. Watch out for an ongoing series of James Bond articles which will be published there first in the next few weeks and months. I will promise many exclusive articles on many new slants looking at the literary Bond especially. I deal in all aspects of Lesser Spotted Bondology.

The article in question, called "Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli and the Blueprint for James Bond" was actually written by this author back in March 2009 for RIghty007's www.felixleiter.com webpage celebration of the Centenary of the birth of "Cubby" Broccoli. This was my contribution to the series, which also included contributuions from Righty007, 00Twelve, Richard Kiel and Simon Gardner. See the original article (and feel free to makle any comments or brickbats there too) here:

I don't think the article got a big deal of exposure on the Felix Leiter website when it was first posted on there on 5 April 2009, so I've decided to post it as a new article on my blog. Please feel free to read and comment on the article and to join up to become a member of the blog. I need all of the Bond fan support that you can muster here on AJB to keep on writing lengthy and hopefully very interesting literary and cinematic James Bond articles. This article is designed to whet your appetites for the new set of articles which will very soon be featuring on the blog in the Autumn/Winter season of 2012. I intend to post an update e-newsletter on my blog about the "forthcoming attractions" to generate the maximum amount of interest in this year of Skyfall and the 50th Anniversary celebrations in October 2012.There will be several articles designed to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Dr. No in October 2012 and also the 60th Anniversary of Casino Royale's publication in April 2013. My special research interest at the moment is the early critical reception and levels of violence in the original Ian Fleming James Bond novels and the early EON Connery Bond films that were very faithful to their source material. There is much new, undiscovered material being utilised in these particular articles, so I do hope that they get a wide Bondian readership interested and engaged. I'm also very much interested in the controversial aspects of the Continuation of the James Bond Novels by Amis, Gardner, Benson, Higson, Faulks, Deaver (and in 2013) William Boyd. There are also a few critical pieces solely focusing on the James Bond films. Watch this space and the blog for all this and more...We've got all your favourites, kiddies!
Please join up today and show your support!

Yes, I was already actually thinking of something along these lines, myself - especially the very interesting Tommy Steele quote in TB. Will do something on this in time on my blog. Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for making The Bondologist Blog such a success in its first year of running (it was only set up on 28 May 2012) and thanks also very much for all your attention in 2013 when I hope the blog will become even better known to literary and cinematic James Bond fans the world over!

Please stop by and read some of the other articles on The Bondologist Blog. This is the first new blog article for 2013.
Please leave your comments in this thread - I do hope that you enjoy the article - t'was a labour of love!
I've also posted a newly revised topic list for the year 2013 - with 31 article titles it's somewhat ambitious, but I aim to deliver!

Again, I'm very puzzled by this remark - can you enlighten us with your presumed in-joke?
This is the second time that you've made this remark, and I didn't get it's significance then either.
As I said before, massively confused.com

Let me know what you think of this one. I've got a new article on the way soon (finally!) 8-)
Thank you, Charmed & Dangerous!
Thank you AOS! -{
Certainly, good idea I'll read that and do a write-up for sure! I had a title for that anyhow ("James Bond in the New World Order - A Review of John Gardner's Death is Forever (1992)") but as the first post-Cold War novel that would be very interesting to have a look at! -{
I also intend to do articles on all of the other 1990s John Gardner novels as I feel these are very overlooked. -{
I'm open to all suggestions for new topics for articles by the way, so don't be sorry AOS! -{
