American photographer Roger Smith reports in early 2009 he was contacted about using one of his nature photos for the cover of a children's book in the Netherlands.

Roger recalls, “As part of the deal, I asked for a copy of the book when it came out. I was more than a bit surprised when the book arrived yesterday and I found out that it was part of a series of James Bond children's books. The English title of the book is Hurricane Gold.

Now I just have to learn to read Dutch!”
