Andy Martin spent a year shadowing the best-selling author Lee Child. Child allowed Martin to watch him as he was writing another one of his novels in the blockbuster series that features Jack Reacher. He sat there like a fly on the wall as Child typed away in his apartment which overlooks Central Park. He went out to eat with Child. He encountered Lee Child's fans. He gives us an up close and personal view of the man behind these popular books. He even reveals this nervous author who was concerned his book would not go straight to Number One on the best-seller list. Of course there was no reason for Lee Child to be concerned, his books consistently sell in massive quantities. Still, it is amusing to imagine that he was so nervous about his continued success.
I had fun interviewing Andy Martin. He doesn't take himself too seriously and apparently that's one reason he got along so well with Lee Child. This is fun book and if you are a fan of this series it will provide you with a very intimate view at this master novelist hard at work crafting yet another thriller.
