An hour later, I gave the first chapter to my wife. I asked, \\\"Should I continue?\\\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\\"Yes,\\\" she said. \\\"I like it.\\\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom global bestseller and creator of Jack Reacher, comes Lee Child's first-ever autobiographical collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom urgently scribbling out his debut Killing Floor in pencil (the stub of which he still owns), to taking a step back with Blue Moon, and everything in between, here are 24 fascinating personal reflections on his life and work, crafted across decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether it is through Lee's moving account of meeting a fan years after her mother brought her to a book signing, to facing his first computer and the coming of the internet, to writing about New York just before - and just after - 9\/11, to later seeing his novels adapted for the big screen . . . each riveting piece deftly evokes where he was, psychologically and physically, when he wrote each novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLee has clearly felt unwavering gratitude for his readers since 1997. And these honest, witty and wise reflections were originally designed for fans of Reacher who may be interested in a 'behind-the-scenes' - or, in Lee's words- 'why the books turned out the way they did'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this collection is also so much more. It is the story of a man who once put pencil to paper in an attempt to turn his luck around . . . and who made every word count.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PEN Transworld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47226871709867,"sku":"9781804998137","price":27.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/3732\/9579\/files\/9781804998137.jpg?v=1781308621","url":"https:\/\/notjustbooks.com.au\/products\/reacher-the-stories-behind-the-stories-an-autobiographical-collection-from-the-global-bestselling-crime-thriller-writer","provider":"Not Just Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
