So, at Harrogate Crime Festival, I bumped into one of the greats Vaseem Khan, and managed to cajole him into a top-secret chat about his upcoming Bond-universe novel about Q, #QuantumOfMenace. He's one utter gentleman, and this book will be so special! youtube.com/watch?v=r_W3qp…

Enjoying the sunshine with a triple G special - the grill, a Guinness and ‘The Gardner’. Cheers all! #LicenceToKill
