John Pearson was born May 10th, 1930. He was working as a television scriptwriter when he met Fleming who offered him a job as his assistant on the Atticus column of the “Sunday Times”. “He was an extraordinary man to work for – a cross between James Bond and M himself. He was brimful of ideas, most of them slightly bizarre, and always a stickler for style and language. He taught me a lot.”
Pearson was thirty-two when he gave up journalism to write books. His travel adventure novel, “Gone To Timbuctoo”, won the Author`s Club award for the best first novel of 1962/1963. He has also published “Bluebird and the Dead Lake”, the story of Donald Campbell`s world land speed record at Lake Eyre in 1964. Shortly after Ian Fleming`s death, Leonard Russell, the features editor at the “London Sunday Times” commissioned Pearson to write the best-selling “The Life Of Ian Fleming”.
This was a 366 page, hardback book published by McGraw-Hill in 1966 Was Ian Fleming James Bond? Many think so. There was many similarities to be certain. Fleming denied any connection to “that cardboard booby” that he had invented, but the book questions that. Pearson delves into the mind of Fleming and the result is a very interesting work based on over 100,000 miles of travel by the author, 150 interviews and an extensive study of Fleming`s private papers.

Pearson was subsequently chosen to be the third post-Fleming Bond novelist, however reviews of “James Bond – The Authorized Biography of 007” were mixed, and sales disappointing. Since then, Pearson has written biographies of Winston Churchill, The Royal Family, Barbara Cartland, J Paul Getty, and a fictional biography of WE Johns` aviator hero Biggles. His next book, “Blood Royal: the rise and fall of the Spencer Dynasty”, will be published in April 1999.
Pearson`s other books include “The Profession Of Violence: The Rise And Fall Of The Kray Twins”, which is often reprinted, and the unfairly overlooked thriller “The Kindness Of Dr Avicenna”, about a kidnapping gone wrong.
