Thanks to Maggie (The webmaster of the
Official website) the following is a summary bio which Lee loves using because of its tongue-in-cheek humor...
In 1996, fired and on the dole, Lee Child hatched a harebrained scheme to write a bestselling novel, thus saving his family from ruin. Killing Floor went on to win worldwide acclaim. The hero of his series, Jack Reacher, besides being fictional, is a kind-hearted soul who allows Lee lots of spare time for reading, listening to music, and the Yankees. Lee is tall and slim, despite an appalling diet and a refusal to exercise. For more about Lee, read his full bio on his official site.
