Lee Child began his writing career in 1995 after losing his position in television in England due to corporate restructuring. Being a voracious reader, Lee decided to try his hand at writing. The result was Killing Floor, the first Jack Reacher novel, which was an immediate success and launched the series. All of his books feature Jack Reacher, a tall stranger who travels the country without a bag on his back, but still finds himself wrapped up in trouble and acting as an unsung hero to those he meets along the way. In 2010, Child released 61 Hours in May and Worth Dying For two weeks prior to the program. It's not every day that the author of the book currently ranked #1 on the New York Times Bestsellers list comes to the Capital District.
After speaking about his work, Mr. Child took questions from the audience, which included asking about when Jack Reacher was coming to Clifton Park. The response? He may have been here already to this town, this library; you never know when and where he'll show up.
This was a wonderful program and based on the line of people who waited patiently for upwards of an hour to get their books signed, a very popular author for our patrons. We could not have accomplished this without the support of our Friends, with additional funding from the Town of Clifton Park. The Friends show great enthusiasm for these author events and the lucky patrons who have the opportunity to hear these authors in person agree.
