3rd September 2013 Hi I don't know about you, but I'm finally back at my desk after managing to spend most of August on holiday, hence the lack of activity on The James Bond Dossier. Now I'm back and will continue to provide info on everyone's favourite secret agent in the months ahead.With Bond 24 still two years away, we can expect little real news until it goes into production, but at least we have William Boyd's new James Bond novel "Solo" to look forward to in the coming weeks. "Solo" is published on September 26th in the UK, while US readers must wait until the beginning of October; and in the UK at least there are a number of launch events in the pipeline. One thing you might like to bear in in mind is that I'm always looking for writers to provide content for the website, either to write regular features, or as one off articles on an area that interests you. If you would like to be considered for the website then please get in contact and we can take it from there. That's all for now, keep an eye open for coverage of the launch of "Solo" towards the end of September by visiting the website or following us on our social media channels. You can currently find us on TWITTER, FACEBOOK and GOOGLE+. Anyway, that's all for now, I hope to hear from you soon! Until next time,
David Leigh PS Here are our social media channels again: PPS If you think your friends might enjoy this newsletter then please share it with them!
