Ian Fleming’s daily routine while staying at Goldeneye, his home in Jamaica. Each year, Ian Fleming followed a disciplined routine during his stays at GoldenEye, his home on Jamaica’s north coast, where he wrote all 14 James Bond books between 1952 and 1964. Spending roughly two months there at a time, Fleming completed first drafts at an impressive pace, drawing inspiration from Jamaica’s beaches, coral reefs, and tropical scenery. Despite his productive schedule, he was also a heavy smoker and drinker, reportedly consuming up to 70 cigarettes a day along with several alcoholic drinks daily. After suffering multiple heart attacks, Fleming died of heart disease in 1964 at the age of 56.
