Bad Luck And Trouble
(Lee Child)
Queuing for hours and talking with the other people outside Waterstones Bookshop to catch a glimpse of the author Lee Child proved an eventful experience. I had been to several Events at Waterstones over the last two years but this particular writer had a great following and all and all the writer spoke to a packed house or shop in this instance. His background so intrigued the audience that Lee Child spoke about it at length and answered the questions of the audienece one by one. Apparently his writing was started because he was sacked by ITV in Manchester in the heady 1990s ... one day he was called to meet his Boss and was given the sack. He was in such a state of shock wondering if his savings would last out until he found another job, but his wife was perplexed when she asked him how he was going to pay the mortgage as an unemployed Television Executive, and his reply was that he planned to be a novelist! And he obviously made the right choice ... the audience spoke with great enthusiasm about seven of his books, and the young lady beside me said she couldnt put it down, but she would actively encourage him to write another and another. When he was made redundant in the UK. he decided to move to the United States of America, and his book takes place largely in America. He cleverly outlined his characters and plot and mentioned that he still hadnt sold any of his Books to the big Film Companies in the world! But it didnt bother him at all, as obviously as it stands, he was a Best Seller! He was keen to discuss actors and their height and joked a little about Sylvester Stallone who apparenlty is one 5 feet 5 inches tall in spite of appearing much larger on the screen. The art of writing takes Lee Child on a 7-24 schedule which is round the clock ... he writes on the Computer ... and he puts in not less than 6 hours a day in writing .. quite a heavy commitment. Of course I acknowledge that all his hard work has paid up and he is now a great success not only in the United States of America but also here in the U.K. Happy reading ... keep on reading ... excellent stuff!
