Ian Fleming Facts
He was a bird-watcher and he named "James Bond" after an ornithologist of the same name (See James Bond) whose book he had read. He borrowed the name because it was the "dullest" name he could think of. The book title "Goldeneye" is also a birding reference, as goldeneyes are a type of duck.
Writer Geoffrey Jenkins collaborated with him on a James Bond story between the years 1957 and 1964. Glidrose Publishers contracted Jenkins to develop the story into a full novel after Fleming died in 1964. The book was entitled "Per Fine Ounce" but it has never been available to readers and published.
His nephew, Nichol Fleming, wrote an adventure story in the Bond style titled "Counter Paradise" in 1968.
