Joining Jack Reacher On The Bus?
Summer travel is a favorite U.S. pastime. Do you have travel plans? Like Jack Reacher, you could take the bus. Train travel is more romantic, personal automobile road trips are more convenient, and airplanes are faster. But buses lack glamor, are flexible, reach more destinations and are often overlooked. So what is it about bus […]
How To Escape Duct Tape Handcuffs
We’ve talked some here on my blog (here and here) about the very real dangers of being kidnapped. Abducted. Held for ransom. Something along those lines happens to Jordan Fox in the False Truth Mystery Serial. In the process, Jordan’s wrists are duct taped together in front of her. Jack Reacher’s Rules teaches us that “The width of […]
5 Cool Travel Gadgets For Reacher Hunters
Lee Child’s Jack Reacher travels light. He carries a folding toothbrush, an ATM card, and an expired passport. Talk about bare bones travel, right? Hitching rides, taking the bus. No, thanks.

What’s the best diner in your town?
As we all know from Lee Child’s thrillers, Jack Reacher feels very much at home in a good, greasy diner.

FIFA Corruption: Fact AND Fiction
Soccer has become more popular in the U.S. so I wanted to write a thriller surrounding the sport. Many soccer matches are nail-biters, to be sure. But my thrillers, as you know, are all about crimes. Hmmmm…. Research was required. And guess what I found? Corruption within the nonprofit organization in charge of governing international […]
Trailing Otto & Gaspar in Search of Fireworks
Here in the U.S., we’re preparing to celebrate our Independence Day July 4th One of the most appropriate ways to celebrate is with fireworks, since, on the first anniversary of our independence, Philadelphia celebrated with fireworks in the year 1777. I love fireworks! Don’t you? Traverse City, Michigan, which is where I spend my summers, […]
A Hunt-for-Jack-Reacher Themed Road Trip
Are you taking any road trips this summer? Part of my next Hunt for Jack Reacher thriller takes place in North Carolina, including the Great Smoky Mountains and a jaunt to Tennessee. North Carolina and Tennessee are so beautiful in the summer, I started thinking what fun it would be to take a Jack Reacher-themed […]
How Will You Use Your Leap Second?
Jack Reacher has a clock in his head. For the rest of us, on June 30th, 2015, at 23:59:60 UTC, the world clock will gain an extra second. As best I understand it, this happens because Earth’s rotation around its own axis is slowing down. Very, very, VERY gradually. But still, enough that it makes the […]
