#ASpyLikeMe: Classified Chats - Episode 0013: How important is the first sentence?
Just as it was for Fleming, himself, Kim explains why it’s part of her process to sweat over the first line in a book.
In conversation with David Lowbridge-Ellis, Kim Sherwood uncovers everything you need to know about the writing of the addictively enjoyable Bond thriller, A Spy Like Me.
Taking us behind the scenes, nothing is off limits as Kim shares her story inspirations, her writing process, how interactions with the Bond Community influenced the book, how she feels about people saying diversifying the Double Os is an exercise in box ticking - and a lot more. David and Kim even take time to pore over 004’s choice of swimwear (it’s a tough job and David and Kim are the ones to do it).
There is extensive coverage of A Spy Like Me and the previous instalment in the Double O series, Double or Nothing, over at www.licencetoqueer.com
