E102 - Lee Child: Hoping for the best but planning for the worst

<p>Lee Child (aka James Dover Grant CBE) is an author, most well known for his thriller series Jack Reacher. The novels follow Jack, a former American military policeman, who ambles around the United States. The series has sold over 100 million copies, selling 9 books every second.</p><br><p>Lee Child was born in Coventry, went to law school in Sheffield and after part-time work in the theatre, he joined Granada Television in Manchester for what turned out to be an eighteen-year career as a presentation director. But Lee was fired in 1995 at the age of 40 as a result of corporate restructuring. He decided to throw all those years of television experience behind writing a thriller, spent £3.99 on some paper and pencils, sat down to write a book, Killing Floor, the first in the Jack Reacher series. </p><br><p><em>Reacher </em>launches on Prime Video on 4th February.</p><br><p>- - - - - - - - </p><br><p><strong>Get the last few tickets for the HPP TOUR 2022</strong></p><br><p>7th Feb: Salford Lowry - Russel Kane, comedian</p><p>18th Feb: Edinburgh - Steve Clarke, Scotland Football Manager.</p><p>2nd March: London Indigo at the O2 - Vex King, author</p><p><strong>Don’t miss out</strong>: https://sjm.lnk.to/HPPL&nbsp;</p><br><p><strong>Buy our bestseller ‘Lessons From the Best on Becoming Your Best</strong>: <a href="http://smarturl.it/hv0sdz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://smarturl.it/hv0sdz</a></p><br><p><strong>Try the audiobook</strong>:&nbsp;<a href="https://shared.outlook.inky.com/link?domain=protect-eu.mimecast.com&t=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiJ9.eJx9kFtPwkAUhP_LPmMrBaKQGMFaFdOuAaMIaUK23QNt2Uuzl0Jr_O9uH3z1eeZ8Z2a-kQHCS4pmqOX2qKSt0QCVwoAShKHZgTANAwROJ0WZZaDovAZxtKVQRFDJC2k1eLn07Mkd9px_ZKscEhXG1HqW-qlfK2kgN1dgPV5yyIk2zstTX6c-5g-HMFrHNyFr1tHE4LheiXuHJKW4IzRjzumQbx9oJixjA2QKBcTsGTTgvly7Fn0a2AyHu9FrQ78WDQ2YzsJJsw2mNuPTdvXCDN3QNht9nmOOm-x9eko6xnCwGm6rZberjt22i8aYPzH8uAySzbrC3emcPCdtEt5ecLWc4C66JFU-jqvFqG-oQe3BZWR7QqkCrV2Gc8mYJ3MphFTzv5n7oujnF7KNhgc.MEUCIQChkJR3RNXz0_WxdgYDVz9LQDdDyTl_V-q0Yp6GUndhaAIgftDctmxxqQONKKcw5l0_uzai4avXuAo_eueEsulWoIQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://adbl.co/3xQQSCF</a>&nbsp;</p><br><p>And remember to check out our website&nbsp;</p><p>for more exclusive merchandise and to join our members club <strong>THE HIGH PERFORMANCE CIRCLE</strong> where you can get podcasts, keynote speeches and boosts from some very special guests.
