In conversation with Kim Sherwood In brief Guest: Kim Sherwood (University of Edinburgh) Panel: Professor Penny Fielding (University of Edinburgh) and Dr David Sorfa (University of Edinburgh) Book your ticket on Eventbrite About the event In November 2021, it was announced that author Kim Sherwood had been selected by Ian Fleming Publications to create a new spin-off series of novels to expand the James Bond universe. We are delighted to host the Edinburgh book launch of 'Double or Nothing', the first in a trilogy introducing a new generation of spies. Join us for an evening with Kim in conversation with Professor Penny Fielding (English Literature, University of Edinburgh) and Dr David Sorfa (Film Studies, University of Edinburgh). The interview will last around 45 minutes, followed by a reception and a book signing. The event will launch the Edinburgh Network for Studies in Secrecy (ENSiS), a community open to anyone interested in secrecy and spying in literature, history and film. I feel honoured to be the first novelist to expand the Bond universe through the Double O sector, bringing new life to old favourites, and fresh characters to the canon. I couldn’t be more excited to introduce the world to my Double O agents. Kim Sherwood Image About Kim Sherwood Kim Sherwood is a Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Edinburgh.
