By way of introduction, I became a James Bond fan some time in the early 1990s with my first exposure to Bond being the films repeated on UTV, the local ITV station. From there I started collecting and reading the Ian Fleming Bond novels as I found them and the continuation novels by the likes of Kingsley Amis, Christopher Wood, John Gardner and Raymond Benson. Due to the powerful drug that is nostalgia that era of Bond novels remains my favourite to this day and is my main area of research interest within Bondology. After being a Bond fan for over 20 years, I created The Bondologist Blog on 25th May 2012 with the object of sharing articles I had written over the years dating back to 2005 and up to my latest work. It was primarily inspired by the format of articles that Nick Kincaid wrote on the sadly now defunct site 007Forever which I first discovered back in 2002. Nick Kincaid wrote some great articles on that site concerning, among other things, the literary Bond and the Bond continuation novels and so that eventually whetted by appetite to write some Bond articles of my own. I was also inspired by the writings of such Bond luminaries as O. F. Snelling, Sir Kingsley Amis, Raymond Benson and Andy Lane and Paul Simpson whose The Bond Files I bought in the year 2000 and which remains a great guide to all things Bond. This blog sets out to cover all aspects of James Bond, including the original Fleming Bond novels, the Bond continuation novels, the films and beyond.
