  JAMES BOND AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE 
  Unlike the rest of the books in Ian Fleming’s James Bond series, The Spy Who Loved Me is told from the perspective of a woman who fell for 007—and owes him her life. 
  Vivienne Michel, a precocious French Canadian raised in the United Kingdom, feels like a foreigner in every land. With only a supercharged Vespa and a handful of American dollars, she travels down winding roads into the pine forests of the Adirondacks. After stopping at the Dreamy Pines Motor Court and being coerced into caretaking at the vacant motel for the night, Viv opens the door to two armed mobsters and realizes being a woman alone is no easy task. But when a third stranger arrives―a confident Englishman with a keen sense for sizing things up―the tables are turned. 
  Still reeling in the wake of Operation Thunderball, Bond had planned for his jaunt through the Adirondacks to be a period of rest before his return to Europe. But that all changes when his tire goes flat in front of a certain motel…

  The Kiss A Short Story Trilogy

  Anton Chekhov, Kate Chopin, Guy...

  Anton Chekhov, Guy de Maupassant, Kate Chopin. These three names thrill the literary world as well as our own.  They have gravitas, they have knowledge, experience and they have the literary style and panache to seduce our imagined world. 
   
  Each has written a short story on pleasured lips placed on another’s flesh. 
   
  For Chekhov it was a kiss in a darkened room that happened by mistake.  Who was she? 
   
  For Chopin it was a kiss that almost derailed a hoped-for marriage proposal.  Why did he do that?  
   
  For de Maupassant it was a niece seeking advice from her Aunt on when to kiss and whom.  And did she? 
   
  Add to this our own experiences of ‘the kiss’.  A kiss to welcome a friend, the loving kiss for our child, our parents, the passionate kiss to a lover.   
   
  These experiences are individual to each of us but perhaps shape a thought or recall a memory when our three authors relate their own stories into our senses.
