Oh no I've created a monster.

Excellent covers my friend.

Good to see you back; I trust you had more success than the football team.

Also very pleased with your Jan 1st launch.

I will release A Secret to the Grave 8th Sept; which should see us through one chapter per week until the New year

cheers

Paul

Hiya all and best greetings from London. Yep, I'm home again (for quite a short time though :tdown: ) Anyway, I'm hoping to run into Mr. Deaver and Paul on this visit and whilst I'm here am doing some 'research' for ROYAL GAMBIT. Although I am sort of working I am finding some time in the evening to go over a few things for the 'plot'. Anyway, just a quick hi to everyone and just to see what you've all been up to.


Love Harry

By the way, home as in the UK B)

You've just raised the devil, 007jamesbond! ;)

ROYAL GAMBIT WILL HIT THIS SITE SOON


Writing Charm The Devil has roused the flame of passion to continue the Harry Fawkes Bond series, so, yeah, I can tell you that it'll be out sometime soon.

Besides, DOMINION are still around and I've got to put an end to that nasty business, not to mention put a bullet between the eyes of a certain BLACK FOX.

Exactly when it'll be out for reading, I can't say yet, but I will say this: I will ensure that it'll be more explosive, more sexy, more violent, more Bondish than all my previous works put together.

If you liked MIDASGOLD, you'll simply adore this one! So, stay tuned, gentle reader...

HARRY,
THIS IS MUSIC TO MY [censored]%%% EARS!!!!!!


As you know I enthused over Midas Gold and am thoroughly enjoying the very retro and excellent Charm the Devil...
To say this news has cheered me up during a sudden nasty bout of the flu is an understatement...
Good Luck :D :D

How long until first ch?


Hi 007jamesbond. I apologize for taking so long to respond to your question.

How long until the first chapter, eh?

Well, first and foremost, I've decided to write the whole story in one go and finnish it all before posting chapters; which obviously means the finished 'product' won't reach CBn for a couple of months yet.

Christmas to be more precise :-)

Secondly, as it is my last Fanfic novel (fact) I have decided to post a chapter on the dot and punctually once a week during the month of December in order to keep the reader fixed onto it and avoid losing the poor soul in the delay period of writing the next chapter (as is the norm when writing in 'real time' so to speak.

I do believe it kills the excitement and one tends to lose quite a number of interested readers when posting a chapter and then taking a while to write the next one.

You see at the end of the day, R O Y A L G A M B I T is my most ambitious project and I want to go out with a bang.

As I said earlier, this is my big one.

It is going to be my grand tribute to the incredible world of James Bond and I want it to be my best shot at writing. I can safely say it is going to be full of action, violence, high adventure and very very sexy.

I am very pleased (humbly speaking) at the reception I got with my other work so I am now working hard to come up with something that'll put one hell of a capital F into the word FanFiction.

After ROYALGAMBIT, Harry Fawkes will be laid to rest once and for all and I will start a new identity on CBn.

I love change you see.

So, until then, take care and thanks for the interest.

Harry Fawkes

Interesting insight into your technique for writing Fan Fiction, Harry.
Personally, I always complete the full transcript before posting anything, otherwise I can't follow the arc of my narrative.
Disappointed ROYAL GAMBIT will be your finale (or should that be a coup de grace?) but I await with baited breath for the 'big bang' this Christmas.
Chris
p.s. hoping to finally ready Charm the Devil this bank holiday; about time...

THE GAMBIT

IS

ON


....Bond produced his wide gunmetal cigarette case and lighter and placed them in front of him while he stared deep into Practoz’s eyes. He needed something, that sharp reaction or tell-tale sign, that would tell Bond the bastard was in league with Black Fox.
Yet, so far nothing!
‘Interesting.’ Practoz told him softly. ‘Tell me more.’
‘What can I say except that he’s the mastermind behind a failed attempt to blow up London with an Anti Proton Energy Bomb stolen from the world's largest particle physics laboratory in Geneva.’
Practoz’s laughed with a very hard edge.
‘Now that’s what I call a mouthful,’ he said, clearing his throat. ‘But where exactly do I come in?’
‘A couple of months ago I was forced to resign from the Intelligence Service,’ Bond told him. ‘Before I left I came across a file on Carter that had your name on it.’
‘And?’
‘Well, let’s just say I was told you’d pay handsomely to get your hands on that information.’
There was a long silence before Practoz spoke again. Slowly, he nodded his head.
‘I see,’ he said finally and gave a small sigh. ‘Well, Mr. Bond you have indeed managed to stimulate my curiosity with that one, which means we’re going to talk more. But not here. Not now. You’ve certainly got balls, Mr. Bond, I’ll say that for you, which is the sole reason why you are still alive. Let us suspend this tête-à-tête till tomorrow afternoon. Lunch at my villa in Chiaramonti and something tells me you already know where that is, am I right?’
Bond nodded.
No use lying.
Talk about unexpected turns, Bond thought.
A maître d' walked up to their table and Practoz ordered a Cardinale.
‘And for you, Mr. Bond?’
‘Scotch and Soda, no ice.’
The maître d’ took the other three player’s order and backed off the way he had come.
Practoz sat back in his chair and took a deep lungful of smoke and when he blew out, he looked Bond straight in the eyes.
‘Now then, the game is Chemin de Fer and the bank stands at four hundred thousand euros,’ he said. ‘The night is wearing on and I have a lot of money to lose. You’re welcome to leave of course if you can’t meet the stake. Choice is yours, my dear fellow.’
There was a very nasty dare in the striking bastard’s eyes.
Bond lit one of his Moreland Specials.
‘Well in that case, Mr. Practoz, Banco.’
‘Then let the game begin,’ Shyla Practoz told him.

Full circle at the end of things, James.
And then, from the corner of his left eye he glimpsed the dark red Daimler Jaguar appear from St Travis Street. It pulled up in front of the cobalt Jaguar and Shaw turned to greet M as he got out.
No umbrella for the Colonel, Bond observed.
Old school, no less.
Colonel Gordon Jackson walked towards Shaw and at one point turned to face Bond’s direction, as if seeing someone across the road.
James Bond’s eye narrowed slightly as he squeezed the trigger and shot M twice in the chest...

007

FAN FIC ACTION ADVENTURE



Enter Harry Fawkes’ world of espionage, terrorism and high adventure!


From the author who brought you


NOBODY CHEATS DEATH

TROUBLESHOOTER

SPEARHEAD

LONELINESS IS A LOVER

THE MOMENT BEFORE YOU DIE

MIDASGOLD

&

CHARM THE DEVIL

Comes the ultimate game plan for Ian Fleming’s Masterspy


The final dance with the devil…

with death as the ultimate prize


For most of his life, James Bond has dared all and more, much more, for Queen and Country

And now he is being left out to dry over what the Ministry of Defence has publicly described as:


‘‘a debacle that blatantly cost the lives of two other MI6 agents’’


Found guilty by the Joint Intelligence Community’s Internal Investigation’s Board of gross negligence during Operation: ‘BLACK FOX’



James Bond is given a choice:

Retire or ‘be’ retired!


The urge to set the record straight – personally and professionally - is overwhelming and Bond finds himself out on his own and on the trail of his most deadly and most sadistic adversary yet:


THE MAN CALLED APOCALYPSE


On this violent and deadly path and as events draw to a blazing and unexpected climax, James Bond will unearth one of the most shocking plans for a terrorist act ever contemplated together with a dark secret that will force him to face the ultimate demon from his past.

One which will take him to the edge like never before



James Bond will return to once again to thrill CBn readers in an all-new fan fic novel with razor-sharp thrills and suspense

And this time…

PULLS OUT THE STOPS!
