Webchat with Jack Reacher author, Lee Child: Wednesday 16 November, 9-10pm

[RachelMumsnet]

Jack Reacher fans will be thrilled to hear that author Lee Child will be joining us for a webchat on Wednesday (16 November) evening between 9 and 10pm.

Lee penned his first novel (Killing Floor) at the age of 40 after his career at Granada Television came to an end. Since then Jack Reacher has become a global phenomena with 21 books published and two films with Tom Cruise taking the leading role. This month the latest film Never Go Back, is on general release and the 21st book, Night School, has just been published.

Come and chat to Lee and ask him all your burning questions on Wednesday (16 November) between 9 and 10pm. Everyone who joins will be entered into a draw to win a SIGNED copy of Jack Reacher: Night School.

I am so chuffed you answered my question!

I would love to see the sheriff from Hope again. Or brave Marilyn from the one with Hook Hobie. But that is just off the top of my head!

Thanks for the ace webchat!!

Oh no I took too long to type! Thank you so much!

Thanks for such a great webchat!

(Jeremy Corbyn - this is how it's done....)

Thank you for joining with us.

SorchaMN - I just completed the survey (good idea, BTW), and just some quick feedback that you need an overseas option for the location question

Thank you so much Lee Child. Great web chat - only half way through the answers there's so much in there.

Chuffed that you answered my question!

Great web chatting with you.

Thanks Lee ☺️
(Btw Joe Pike would win 😉)

It is morning where I am - so inspired by Lee's mention of my question that I have gone to the gym to do boxing in Reacher's honour!

We're sorry if you missed out at the end by us finishing before 10pm. As there were so many questions before the webchat started, we'd asked Lee to join us a bit early to get through some of the advance ones, so by 9pm we'd already worked him quite hard! There was a lull at 9.45-ish so we thought we'd offer to close early. We think he did a great job answering so many and he really enjoyed it - and 'fessed he'd been on mumsnet a few times before and finds it hilarious Thanks to all those who joined the webchat.

That was great, thank you.

I think I'll read it all again.

That was brilliant

That was brilliant.

Lee has gone up in my estimation even more, mostly for his blunt, funny answers and to the fact that he once drank 36 cups of black coffee in one day. His wife must have had to scrape him off the ceiling!!

Thrilled my question was answered! A great and interesting webchat!!

Great web chat. It's always a little nervewracking 'meeting' the person behind your favourite books but Lee didn't disappoint. Thanks for organising this MNHQ.

Thank you Lee, that was how a web chat should be done.
< Ridiculously thrilled to have spoken to Lee Child>

I'm still totally thrilled by this- he talks like Reacher and answered my question!!! Legend.

I too am utterly delighted that the man himself answered my question!

I've bored all my friends stiff about it, and DH is eye-rolling nonstop with it all.

But I don't CARE, it was a super web chat and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Mr. Child is very entertaining isn't he?
Roll on the next one.

It really was fantastic. No doubt about it
Still can't believe Lee answered my question!
The man is a genius.

Fantastic! So pleased he answered my question, too.

What a legend. Good webchat!

Here's a pic of Lee in action - wonder which question he's pondering over here...

That was a brilliant webchat. I bet he'd be great craic on a night out
