Last night Lee Child was In Conversation with Bookman Beattie at a meeting on Auckland's North Shore attended by around 400 Jack Reacher fans. The event was organised by the North Shore Libraries Foundation.

Child proved to be intelligent, articulate, amusing, generous and humble and for over an hour he delighted his audience talking first about his own life as a writer,and before that in the TV production business, and then about his famous and widely admired fictional creation, Jack Reacher.
Although he has been on the road now for three weeks and travelled huge distances all over Britain and Australia, he gave no impression of tiredness and patiently and pleasantly chatted and signed copies of his books for a couple of hundred fans who couldn't get enough of him.
His new book, 61 HOURS, has been top of the best-seller lists in the UK, Australia and New Zealand for the past two weeks since publicatuion. It will be published in the US next month.
This morning Lee Child was on Radio NZ's Nine to Noon with Kathryn Ryan for half an hour. The rest of his NZ tour details can be found here.
