Lee Child

Lee Child, previously a television director, union organizer, theater technician, and law student, was fired and on the dole when he hatched a harebrained scheme to write a bestselling novel, thus saving his family from ruin.

Killing Floor went on to win worldwide acclaim. The hero of his series, Jack Reacher, besides being fictional, is a kindhearted soul who allows Lee lots of spare time for reading, listening to music, and watching the Yankees and Aston Villa games. It is said that the Reacher novels are sold somewhere in the world every nine seconds. Lee was born in England but now lives in New York City and leaves the island of Manhattan only when required to by forces beyond his control.
