Hi

I'm a ' newbie ' to Kindleboards, so please excuse me if this post is in the wrong section etc, etc,.

Anyhow, I joined as I have an 'interest' in -make that 'fascination' with - 'Cold War Spy Thrillers'.

I reckon that the 60's presented a golden era of new music, such as the Beatles, and films e.g. The Ipcress File, and what about 'scandal'?
How can you possibly avoid all that intrigue of Cabinet Minister Lord Profumo's sex scandal with the involvement of such dynamic figures as Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies?

OK, maybe, admittedly, I've gone more from fascination to 'obsession', as I've plunged to the extreme of writing a Spy Thriller called Three Way Street. Sorry, this is NOT meant to be a plug, so I won't put in a link, but I can't think of a clearer way (bar ostentatiously now having 2 Kindles) to introduce myself, while exploring Kindleboards, without serving it up with syrup-soaked waffle as to where I grew up, and which school I attended.

So, that's it, short and crisp, unlike the snow so far. Love to hear the views from any similar Spy lover.

Merry Christmas, or Hanukkah as the case may be, to all members.

THREE WAY STREET is a Spy Thriller set in the magic of the 60's, with the advent of Mary Quant, Psychedelia and Purple Hearts, but while Flower Power flourished and The Beatles lauded 'All You Need Is Love', War Minister Lord Profumo's Sex Scandal suddenly exploded alongside an emerging Kennedy Space Programme, resulting in the all ruthless treachery and betrayal of the U.S and U.S.S.R to claim the first moon-landing.

The immediate effect on Operatives living abroad, was of
sudden shifting loyalties and friendships, both within their own ranks, and with their opposites.

After all, in the long 15 years of peace since World War ll, they’d each gone to BOTH side's Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Christenings and Socials, in fact there was little else, but now YOU SUDDENLY NO LONGER KNEW WHO WERE YOUR FRIENDS AND WHO WERE NOT.
