| FROM SWEDEN WITH LOVE |
From Sweden With Love (FSWL) is dedicated to James Bond - agent 007. We have been admirers and scholars of the phenomenon for over 25 years. FSWL started as a personal examination of the fictive agent but has developed and progressed now consisting of exclusive interviews, Bond related news in Swedish media, book and film reviews, memories from meeting hundreds of people who have appeared in or worked on the James Bond films, a database with Bond memorabilia featuring thousands of items, articles and travel stories from the world of 007, competitions, and a web shop with many rare Swedish James Bond items.
Sweden have been represented by seven Bond girls - Britt Ekland, Maud Adams, Anne Lönnberg (Anne's father is Swedish), Mary Stavin, Kristina Wayborn, Izabella Scorupco and Eva Green (Eva's father is Swedish). Actor Dolph Lundgren and stunt man - Lars Lundgren have also appeared in the official film series of 22 films.
Our aim is to celebrate the phenomenon from a fans view with a professional approach. The reason is the passion we have for this great fiction hero created by Ian Fleming in 1953, when he wrote the his first of fourteen Bond novels - CASINO ROYALE.
FSWL is also a tribute the producers Harry Saltzman and Albert "Cubby" Broccol for adapting Ian Fleming's novels into films...

Author Jeffery Deaver comments:
“I don’t want to give much away about the new book yet, except to say that the novel will maintain the persona of James Bond as Ian Fleming created him and the unique tone Fleming brought to his Bond books, while incorporating my own literary trademarks: detailed research, fast pacing and surprise twists”.
