Raymond Benson short stories

In the late 1990s, Raymond Benson, who at the time was the official novelist of the

literary franchise, became the first author since Bond's creator, Ian Fleming, to write officially sanctioned

featuring the superspy. Just before his sudden departure from writing Bond novels at the start of 2003, Benson had indicated his intention to write more short pieces and publish a short story collection along the lines of Fleming's ''For Your Eyes Only'' and ''Octopussy and The Living Daylights''. This, however, has yet to occur. To date these three stories remain the only pieces of James Bond literature that have never officially been published in Great Britain. Additionally, between 2001 and 2002, Benson wrote a fourth short story he planned to title "The Heart of Erzulie", but it was never published.
