X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><strong>About the presenter</strong>: Juli
 an Parrott grew up in Wales and first came to Champaign-Urbana on a study 
 abroad experience where he met his future wife. After a brief stint as a s
 mall-town Illinois journalist\, he returned to Champaign-Urbana and has wo
 rked for the U of I for over 30 years. In that time\, he was fortunate to 
 teach a class about James Bond and his creator\, Ian Fleming. He has publi
 shed articles on Fleming and Bond and was inspired by the spy thriller gen
 re to attempt to write his own novel. It was a canal trip back to Wales th
 at actually provided the critical plot point that led to his completing hi
 s first novel. The novel\, <a href="https://cucatalog.org/polaris/search/s

 il 2021. Readers have noted the novel would comfortably find a home in the
  thriller romance genre\, an idea that surprises Julian\, but one he has c
 ome to embrace. A spy thriller romance sequel is in the editing stage and 
 will be published sometime in the near future.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Registration
