Double post.

I'm not sure I ever encountered the name Maeve before you began posting here. I like it very much.

Thank you. It's not my own, but rather a character name. It's an Irish name and it has a connection with the world of James Bond, albeit perhaps a rather obscure one.

Obscure, indeed! It's not from Fleming, is it? As often as I've read the novels and short stories, I didn't think anything could slip past me.

No, it's not. Maeve Horton is the sister of the villain David Dragonpol in John Gardner's Never Send Flowers (1993), one of my favourite Bond continuation novels. It was a little in-joke on my part as I'm known as Dragonpol elsewhere. An early author picture of John Gardner can be seen in my current avatar.

I hope you get their pronouns right!

Whew. That's something of a relief. I was afraid my Fleming competency was slipping!

Have read none of the continuation novels except Colonel Sun.

I wouldn't doubt your credentials as I'm aware you know your stuff. If you've read Colonel Sun you've read the best continuation Bond novel there is. I'd recommend the Gardner Bond novels but I know not everyone likes them which is fair enough. We all like different things as Bond fans.

Talking of usernames I've long wondered where your own username came from?

I invented it from practically nothing. My field of academic study was the period of Russian history known as the Tatar Yoke, in which Russia was ruled by the Mongols. Perilagu sounds vaguely Mongol. And no, I'm not an actual Mongol.

Ah, I see. That's good to know. I thought maybe it had something to do with Star Trek but all I could find online was other accounts using the same name!

Do you lecture in History? I have an undergraduate degree in History and it's something I'm still very interested in. My main area of interest is the interwar period of 1919-1939 and British political history of the 1950s and 1960s.

I obtained the doctorate but decided against becoming a professor. What I observed about academia while in grad school convinced me that there was no future for me there, at least as a professor, and subsequent developments proved me exactly right.

I'm quite interested in the cultural and intellectual history of those periods you mentioned. In fact, I'm researching a book on certain philosophical/ideological developments that occurred--mainly in France and the US--from roughly 1935 through 1970. Those developments reverberate ever more strongly in the present.

That's great that you got a doctorate. I went on to get a Master's in Law, a two year Law conversion degree but decided that was enough university education for one life. I know that academia probably isn't all that it's cracked up to be what with all the petty rivalries, jealousy and backstabbing that must go on.

Your book sounds fascinating. I wish you all the very best with it. I write some non-fiction Bond articles myself though I've not been very good at keeping at it these last few years. I need to get back into it again.

Yes, do get back to it, Maeve. And let us know what you're writing about. I know we would all be interested, and would doubtless give you more advice than you could ever possibly hope for, or need!

I'm currently working on an old article idea that'd be perfect for the literary Bond's 70th anniversary so hopefully I'll get that completed ASAP. Thanks for the encouragement and support!
