we enjoyed the concept behind Jack, however we have one or two problems with it. First, how can two experienced agents, without any logical reason, assume that Reacher is guilty, and then never question that assumption? Second, the almost godlike omnipitence of their boss gets a bit annoying.
As an aside, do you have permission from Lee Child to use his character?
thank you. Sue and Derek, Montreal
Hi, Sue and Derek. Thank you for reading up there in Montreal. We’re glad you enjoyed the book. I’m a little confused by your questions, but let me try to answer them without spoiling the story for those who’ve not read it. You tell me if I’ve missed your point, okay?
We do have permission and enthusiastic support from Lee Child. We wouldn’t have published the book otherwise. If you’re not a subscriber to his Reacher Report, maybe you missed his recommendation of Don’t Know Jack? Lee and I have been friends a long time and he loves the book and these characters. Whew!
This book was the first in what we hope will be a series and as such, it sets up the framework for our concept, including the power of the boss to know and see all. In our technological age, keeping tabs on two agents who are being manipulated is more than feasible and it adds an element of risk to Otto and Gaspar’s activities that we find suspenseful as well as a need for creativity in their actions that makes them more interesting characters.
As for assuming Reacher is guilty, I’m not clear exactly what you’re asking about? But Agents Otto and Gaspar constantly consider and examine whether Reacher is guilty of any crime based upon the evidence they have and their woking theories.
Hope this clears up your questions and once again, Thanks for Reading!
Hi Diane,
As yet i havent read your book on reacher, i really enjoyed the reacher series of Lee Childs which i have listen to, will there be some time in the future when you will put them into audiobook form.
best regards Brian
Yikes, Brian, I’m so sorry! I thought I responded to your question a while back, but if I did, then cyberspace ate it. I really hope we do get audio books at some point. I’m sorry to say that right now, we don’t have plans for that. But we are moving Don’t Know Jack into paperback, so hopefully, audio won’t be far behind!
I liked “don’t know jack” but thought “jack in a box” didn’t have any story – it ended without really going anywhere.
Thank you for writing, Dan. I’m glad you enjoyed “Don’t Know Jack.” There will be more short stories (at least that’s the plan), so I’m interested in your feedback on “Jack in a Box,” and appreciate you taking the time to send it. Where would you want the story to “go” at the end?
I enjoyed “Don’t Known Jack”. Have read the entire series by Lee Child and itnis interestingntonread a companion series by another author. Please these vignettes coming. I am currently rereading the entire Travis McGee collection which I started in 1968. Would like to see someone write the finale.
Thank you,

I’m new to Jack Reacher. Why did Diane pick up on this character? It’s confusing. First I read The Affair. Did a search on “Jack Reacher” and ended up with Diane’s stories. After 19 stories by Lee Child, why go backwards?
Loved, loved, loved your Reached books! I thought Otto and Gaspar were great characters. Keep them coming!
Oops. Meant “Reacher”. Spell check changed it.
