It is with great pleasure that I announce that my latest James Bond fan-fiction is available to download on AJB007 (see link below). Set in Vienna, 'Wienerblut' which is literally translated as 'Viennese Blood' this short story sees Bond relaxing after a succesful but exhausting assignment. Bond's leave will shortly be disrupted as a bizarre set of circumstances unfolds. 
This short story was inspired by a trip to Vienna in September 2007. Many elements from the story are closely based upon my own experiences in Vienna. The awful weather that I experienced, for instance is replicated in the story. The story also contains refers to a real life character that I met in Vienna: Mr Fischer, the proprietor of the Altwiener Schnapps Museum. One of his beverages lends its name to the title of the story. Mr Fischer is seen here with a bottle of 'Wienerblut'. 
Also referred to in the story is the Riesenrad ferris wheel at Prater park. This ferris wheel has a Bond history all its own as it appeared in the 1987 film, The Living Daylights. It also famously appeared in the 1949 noir classic, The Third Man. As you can see in the photo, my coat gives an indication of the type of weather I experienced! Nonetheless, riding this famous ferris wheel was a great thrill, being a big fan of both films that it has appeared in. Also included is a second short story, set in Paris called 'A Chance to Die'. The fan fiction can be downloaded at http://www.ajb007.co.uk/fanfiction/wienerblut.php . After you have read it, why not post your comments on the ajb007 forum or here on the blog.
