As America ponders the desirability of electing its first half-black, half-white president, could it also be ready to embrace a half-black, half-white James Bond-like secret agent? What would Ian Fleming say?

Get in on the discussion and the fun when Dr. Harvey Black and Jonathan Levine discuss their landmark new book, KIDD BLACK, the country’s deadliest, secret weapon in the war on terror. They’ll also share the unusual back story about how the book came to be.

They’ll reveal:

• How the novel was originally hatched as a short story while they were in high school during a time when all fictional heroes were white.

• Why the decades’ old idea suddenly resurfaced.

• Why they made their hero “blue-eyed, half-black, half-white and all-American.”

• How to persevere and write your own adventure novel.

”Kidd Black is terrific. Even my mother-in-law loved it and we don’t agree on anything.” — Lawrence Shore, scriptwriter for Highlander, screenwriter for Pars vite et reviens tard
