007 Interview Samantha Weinberg

On October 10 1990 Jane Vivian Moneypenny dies in a boating accident in North Uist, Scotland. Exactly ten years later her niece, Kate Westbrook, receives a large trunk containing forty handwritten diaries, containing the memoires of Miss Moneypenny, personal secretary to M., the head of MI6. As Kate discovers the truth to her aunts secret life, her own life seems to get caught up in ongoing covert affairs… The trilogy The Moneypenny Diaries (2005; 2006 and 2008) was written by Samantha Weinberg. Don interviews Samantha and together they talk about the character in general, making difficult decisions, traveling around the world for research purposes and juggling multiple timelines until your head starts to spin. The podcast begins with an audioclip from the first book, Guardian Angel, narrated by Eleanor Bron and published by Ian Fleming Publications Ltd Audible Studios.
