Dear Reader,
It’s a great morning when you wake up to discover Michelle Yeoh won an Oscar! I’m thrilled for her as an amazing actor, but also of course as one of my favourite women in the Bond series. (I plan to celebrate by jumping over a helicopter on a motorbike with Pierce Brosnan.) And how cool is it that she was presented the Oscar by Halle Berry, another awesome woman in the Bond series! And the ONLY OTHER woman of colour to win Best Actress in the course of the entire Oscars. History made, and shared.
I didn’t watch the Oscars because late-night editing did me in and sent me to bed just as they started. I was working on the last round of feedback from the Flemings and the publishers in the US and the UK on Book 2 in the Double O series. A big thank you to Licence to Queer for finally refreshing my writing music, too, with an amazing playlist put together for the inaugural 007GB club event!
