Child joined Granada Television, part of the UK's ITV Network, in Manchester as presentation director. There he was involved with shows including Brideshead Revisited, The Jewel in the Crown (TV series), Prime Suspect, and Cracker. Child was involved in the transmission of more than 40,000 hours of programming for Granada, writing thousands of commercials, news stories, and trailers. He stayed with Granada 1977-1995 and ended his career there with two years as a trade union shop steward. After being fired because of corporate restructuring, he decided he wanted to start writing novels, stating they are "the purest form of entertainment."
In 1997 his first novel, Killing Floor, was published and he moved to the US in the summer of 1998. He has said that he chose the name 'Reacher' for the central character in his novels because he is himself tall and, in a supermarket, his wife Jane told him: "Hey, if this writing thing doesn't pan out, you could always be a reacher in a supermarket."... "I thought, Reacher -- good name." Some books in the Reacher series are written in first person, while others are written in the third person.

Why listen to audio books? In today's busy world, finding time to sit down to read for most people is very difficult. With audio books, "reading" can be done whilst driving, ironing, cooking, jogging. In fact just about at any time. Revisit some classics - Jane Eyre. Or listen to the latest Clive Cussler.
For children, audio books are a way to get children loving books from an early age. It is well known that children that read do better at school. When studying for GCSEs, many parents have realised how much listening to Of Mice and Men or To Kill a Mockingbird audio books can help in exam preparation.
Of course people with visual impairment derive huge pleasure from audio books, but so too do people who do a large amount of travelling. Particularly drivers who cover large distances. Reading is of course not an option!
