Lee Child
LA has a fantastic car scene and because the climate is so gentle, cars can last forever.
Lee Child
So long as readers keep reading and my publishers keep publishing, I plan to keep on writing. I'd have to be an idiot to be burnt-out in this job.
Lee Child
What do I miss about the UK? Sadly, almost nothing. Maybe the midnight sun, in June in the north. That's all.
Lee Child
The best fights are the ones you don't have, a wise man once said to me.

Lee Child
