Lee Child: A Geek and a Nerd in Many Ways by Heather Martin

Heather Martin (Lee Child: A Geek and a Nerd in Many Ways) was born in West Australia and moved to London aged sixteen with the idea of becoming a musician. Four years of guitar-playing and a Venezuelan folk group later, she wound up reading languages at Cambridge instead. This led to lectureships in twentiethcentury Spanish and Latin American literature first at Hull, then at King’s College London, and thence to a career in teaching, writing and translating. While researching The Reacher Guy, her biography of Lee Child, she was based for a year at the Department of Comparative Literature at the Graduate Center, City University New York.
