Jack Reacher may be one of the most iconic action book heroes of all time. Over 100 million copies of author Lee Child’s books have been sold. But the author who has taken over the series is perhaps a little less well known. Andrew Child, who also writes under the name Andrew Grant, is now carrying on the legacy of Jack Reacher for his older brother. He came to Portland for the 2024 Portland Book Festival to talk about the 29th book in the series, “In Too Deep.”

Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, Kevin Tumlinson, and James Blatch as they discuss the week's entertainment news, including: "James Patterson Plans to Take on Hollywood, and Cable News, on Substack," "An Actual Taylor Swift Book Due November 29 As A Target Exclusive," and "TikTok's Owner Already Publishes Digital Books. Now It's Moving Into Print." Then, stick around for a chat with Andrew Child! Andrew Grant was born in Birmingham, England in May 1968. He went to school in St Albans, Hertfordshire and later attended the University of Sheffield where he studied English Literature and Drama. After graduation Andrew set up and ran a small independent theatre company which showcased a range of original material to local, regional and national audiences. Following a critically successful but financially challenging appearance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival Andrew moved into the telecommunications industry as a ‘temporary' solution to a short-term cash crisis. Fifteen years later, after carrying out a variety of roles – including a number which were covered by the UK Official Secrets Act – Andrew escaped from corporate life, and established himself as the author of the critically-acclaimed novels Even, Die Twice, More Harm Than Good, RUN, False Positive, False Friend, False Witness, Invisible, and Too Close To Home. Andrew is married to novelist Tasha Alexander, and lives on a wildlife preserve in Wyoming, USA. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/writersink/support

Andrew Child (as Andrew Grant) is the author of the critically-acclaimed novels Even, Die Twice, More Harm Than Good, RUN, False Positive, False Friend, False Witness, Invisible, and Too Close To Home. He began to take over the mantle of writing Jack Reacher from Lee starting with The Sentinel, and his most recent Reacher novel is In Too Deep.We loved having the opportunity to chat with Lee and Andrew, and hearing about how Jack Reacher was born out of necessity after Lee lost his job in TV. Both of them explain their writing processes, and Lee tells us how rather than a list of ideas about Reacher, he began with a list of the things he didn't want from the character. We also talked about them writing the last few Reacher novels together, and how Andrew feels about taking the series forward.Links:Follow Lee Child on Twitter/XFollow Andrew Child on Twitter/XVisit the Jack Reacher websiteSupport us on Patreon and get great benefits!: https://www.patreon.com/ukpageonePage One - The Writer's Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 12 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. This week we kick off the episode with Avery Grant and her interview with Andrew Grant, a writer and Creative Director at Alchemy, a narrative video game company. The pair discuss his nonlinear path from college, which started in investment banking, to where he is today working in the game industry. They tap into what lead to Andrew's departure from banking, and how his journey to his current position, via the film industry first, has afforded him the opportunity to work on such narrative video game projects as The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and, most recently, Star Trek: Resurgence. Listeners get an exclusive glimpse of the creative processes as they are when working with such large IPs in a video game context and gain invaluable insights and advice for aspiring creatives seeking to carve their path in the industry. Our second episode of the week features Stone Roshell, who is currently the podcast producer for Yahoo Sports. Stone sits down with Harrison Gaushell to discuss how Stone found himself in the role of a producer, and what led him to his niche as a podcasting-focused creative. They discuss the balance between creating short-form (social media, reels, TikTok) and long-form (60+ minute podcasts) and how the need for both influences the making of the other. The two delve into what it is like working in a creative level at the head of a podcasting network, as well as how independent podcast shows are discovered and acquired by the larger network, and the subsequent effects on original content. They wrap up the conversation with an interesting discussion of how Stone hopes to eventually manage podcasts outside the realm of sports, and can see himself using the skills/knowledge gained working in the production of the podcast space to be taken to other fields/mediums.

Creativity is needed now more than ever. As we race into an automated AI future, the most precious capabilities we can have will be the skills to generate and implement new ideas for better solutions faster. The Gen Z generation is said to be an agile generation thanks to their hyperconnectivity and comfort in expressing themselves through digital tools. Valuing creativity is a core belief among many of them. However Gen Z is entering the workforce and needs to successfully navigate and secure their future in the workplace. This will require them attaining the CQ skills (creative intelligence) needed to help their companies /organisations maintain a competitive business advantage. So how is that company after company and managers from all different generations talk about the importance of creativity and yet we see so many firms and managers always lagging behind when it comes to use of or being creative?. Find out in this episode – where creativity expert Andrew Grant takes us from the classroom to the boardroom – to discover why adults seem to have lost their creative ability right when they need it the most. We examine themes why creativity has gained so much importance for companies today and what does it mean in the Gen Z context. We will also explore what normally comes in our way to overcome creativity and how can managers ‘unblock' the mindset to unleash creativity. How long does it take to build and sustain a creative culture. And finally what should managers keep in mind when recruiting Gen Zer's from a creative perspective and how should incoming Gen Z's see creativity.Find Us OnlineAndrew Grant : LinkedIn, WebsiteBook : www.whokilledcreativity.com and the-innovation-race.com Nikhil: Website, Linkedin, Youtube & BookCredits:- WYN Studio: LinkedIn, Instagram- Producer: LinkedIn, Twitter- Engineer: LinkedIn, Youtube
Maya Angelou famously said, “Now that I know better, I do better.” It's a sentiment that perfectly captures the spirit behind EmbraceRace, a nonprofit dedicated to nurturing children who are thoughtful, informed, and brave in taking on all aspects of equity and justice. On this episode of What the Fundraiser its founder, Andrew Grant Thomas, helps us explore difficult conversations – why we need to have them and what they can look like. It's not always going to be pretty, and that's okay! In fact, says Andrew, that's the point. Progress is a process that requires us – as fundraisers, parents and community members – to chip away at false assumptions and structural racism in all its ugliness. The more we engage, the quicker we can break through to meaningful dialogue and understanding. Andrew shares fascinating insights from the frontlines of early childhood, where honest conversations need to start. You'll learn about EmbraceRace's four foundational pillars and how this vibrant nonprofit is guided by them. He also invites us to “imagine if we understood race in a way that allowed all the range of emotions to show and not disproportionately things like fear and anxiety and resentment.” We also discuss the concept of giving ourselves grace, which is not an excuse to step away when we mess up. To the contrary, when interactions around race (or any other sensitive topic) go awry, we must be brave and push forward. So long as there's an effort to repair, says Andrew, an opportunity exists to grow and improve. In other words, it's progress – not perfection! (02:01) A brief intro to EmbraceRace (04:25) About the pillars Andrew and his organization deploy in helping people be brave about difficult conversations (09:21) How EmbraceRace helps people move through any resistance and face head-on issues. (12:24) Where resistance comes from (17:41) How kids (versus adults) understand and respond with openness and curiosity to narratives around race and justice. (20:06) Why it's okay to have uncomfortable conversations. (22:04) Great advice about confronting race that applies equally to fundraising (25:46) About knowing that things will come out right IF we keep on trying and making repairs along the way. (29:44) What accountability looks like and Andrew's assessment of DEI, educational and other efforts to combat structural racism and the very real ripple effects across society.

Writing dynasties (part 4): Felix Francis, Andrew Child/Grant & Rajmohan Gandhi tell We'd Like A Word hosts Paul Waters & Stevyn Colgan about taking on a big book brand or carrying on a family writing tradition. It's different from continuation novels, they say, like when Anthony Horowitz took on Ian Fleming's James Bond character (see episode 4, series 1 of We'd Like A Word with Anthony Horowitz https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/rtTQmLv7Ivb ). These are books, stories and characters with whom they have grown up. But do they try to be exactly like their predecessor or collaborator? Distinctively different? How open are they about it? Is it better to keep it a secret until you're sure that readers will like it? And what if the originator decides he maybe does not want to retire after all? How do they write? And what books are they writing next? Lots of interesting answers in this 4-part episode. Felix Francis is the son of Richard and Mary Francis, who together created the internationally bestselling Dick Francis thrillers, set in the world of horse racing. Felix began contributing to, then co-writing, then solely authoring the Dick Francis books long before his name was on the covers. He's written 16 of them now. Where does Dick end and Felix begin? Listen to find out. Andrew Grant - now also known as Andrew Child - is the younger brother of Lee Child (real name Jim Grant), the creator of the bestselling Jack Reacher series - which you may also know from the Tom Cruise movies or the Amazon series starring Alan Ritchson. When decided he had only 4 more books left in him, he asked his brother Andrew to collaborate with him with a view to ultimately taking over. (Though that particular plot thickens...) But Andrew was already a successful thriller author in his own right. And he has a personal past cloaked in mystery. Rajmohan Gandhi was a teenager when he was inspired to investigate how the world works and to write about it when his grandfather, the Mahatma, Mohandas Gandhi was assassinated in 1948. He spoke to We'd Like A Word at the Khushwant Singh Literary Festival in Kasauli in India. It's hard to think of a more famous forebear than Gandhi. So how does Rajmohan fit into the tradition? Lots of other authors, people & topics get discussed too - Tasha Alexander (the Lady Emily Ashton mysteries), Ben McIntyre, Desmond Bagley, Alistair Maclean, Alan Davies (Just Ignore Him), Arthur Ransome (Swallows and Amazons), Paul Gallico (The Snow Goose), Airey Neave and PD James.

We're also on Twitter @wedlikeaword & Facebook @wedlikeaword & our email is wedlikeaword@gmail.com Yes, we are embarrassed by the missing apostrophes. We like to hear from you - questions, thoughts, ideas, guest or book suggestions. Perhaps you'd like to come on We'd Like A Word to chat, review or read out passages from books. And if you're still stuck for something to read, may we recommend Blackwatertown, the thriller by Paul Waters or Cockerings, the new comic classic by Stevyn Colgan.
Writing dynasties (part 2): Felix Francis, Andrew Child/Grant & Rajmohan Gandhi tell We'd Like A Word hosts Paul Waters & Stevyn Colgan about taking on a big book brand or carrying on a family writing tradition. It's different from continuation novels, they say, like when Anthony Horowitz took on Ian Fleming's James Bond character (see episode 4, series 1 of We'd Like A Word with Anthony Horowitz https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/rtTQmLv7Ivb ). These are books, stories and characters with whom they have grown up. But do they try to be exactly like their predecessor or collaborator? Distinctively different? How open are they about it? Is it better to keep it a secret until you're sure that readers will like it? And what if the originator decides he maybe does not want to retire after all? How do they write? And what books are they writing next? Lots of interesting answers in this 4-part episode. Felix Francis is the son of Richard and Mary Francis, who together created the internationally bestselling Dick Francis thrillers, set in the world of horse racing. Felix began contributing to, then co-writing, then solely authoring the Dick Francis books long before his name was on the covers. He's written 16 of them now. Where does Dick end and Felix begin? Listen to find out. Andrew Grant - now also known as Andrew Child - is the younger brother of Lee Child (real name Jim Grant), the creator of the bestselling Jack Reacher series - which you may also know from the Tom Cruise movies or the Amazon series starring Alan Ritchson. When decided he had only 4 more books left in him, he asked his brother Andrew to collaborate with him with a view to ultimately taking over. (Though that particular plot thickens...) But Andrew was already a successful thriller author in his own right. And he has a personal past cloaked in mystery. Rajmohan Gandhi was a teenager when he was inspired to investigate how the world works and to write about it when his grandfather, the Mahatma, Mohandas Gandhi was assassinated in 1948. He spoke to We'd Like A Word at the Khushwant Singh Literary Festival in Kasauli in India. It's hard to think of a more famous forebear than Gandhi. So how does Rajmohan fit into the tradition? Lots of other authors, people & topics get discussed too - Tasha Alexander (the Lady Emily Ashton mysteries), Ben McIntyre, Desmond Bagley, Alistair Maclean, Alan Davies (Just Ignore Him), Arthur Ransome (Swallows and Amazons), Paul Gallico (The Snow Goose), Airey Neave and PD James.

Today, we celebrate an epic milestone, as we launch our 100th Episode of The Thriller Zone. Woo-Hoo! Yeah, we're stoked! Who better to help celebrate the "Mighty 100" but the co-author of one of the most iconic thriller franchises in the world: Jack Reacher. Yes, Andrew Child and brother Lee Child have penned yet another page-turning thriller in NO PLAN B. On today's show, we dig deep on what makes this franchise the success it is. We also learn, thanks to the free-flowing thoughts of Andrew, some of the best advice I've heard since I began this podcast. Perhaps it's because I'm not that crazy about following rules, or the fact how I've often forged my own path, but when I heard "Ignore the rules," I knew I had a friend in Andrew Child. Andrew, who also writes under his given name of Andrew Grant, peels back the layers on the publishing business, what it takes to create a winning franchise, what it's like to write with his older brother, Lee, and so much more. If you enjoy (a) page-turning thrillers, from (b) authors who know how to craft stories that waste no time getting to the point, and (c) enjoy hearing the "inside scoop" on the writing business (and finding one's personal motivation), then You Are In For A Treat!

The third Reacher book he's collaborated on with brother Lee Child, Andrew walks through the extent of his planning and editing process, the pros and cons of writing with a sibling, and his afterthoughts of the book's outcome. Andrew is the critically-acclaimed author of ten standalone novels, including Die Twice and Even. To preorder No Plan B, releasing October 25th, follow the link below. From JackReacher.com: Andrew Grant was born in Birmingham, England in May 1968. He went to school in St Albans, Hertfordshire and later attended the University of Sheffield where he studied English Literature and Drama. After graduation Andrew set up and ran a small independent theatre company which showcased a range of original material to local, regional and national audiences. Following a critically successful but financially challenging appearance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival Andrew moved into the telecommunications industry as a ‘temporary' solution to a short-term cash crisis. Fifteen years later, after carrying out a variety of roles – including a number which were covered by the UK Official Secrets Act – Andrew escaped from corporate life, and established himself as the author of the critically-acclaimed novels Even, Die Twice, More Harm Than Good, RUN, False Positive, False Friend, False Witness, Invisible, and Too Close To Home. Andrew is married to novelist Tasha Alexander, and lives on a wildlife preserve in Wyoming, USA.

In The Concrete Plateau: Urban Tibetans and the Chinese Civilizing Machine (Cornell UP, 2022), Grant examines how China's urban development policies of frontier cities like Xining (Tib. zi ling) accompanied civilizational projects that deployed various discursive and non-discursive practices aimed at creating ideologically homogeneous and modern places. Xining or Ziling is the capital of Qinghai (Tib. mtsho sngon) province and it is the largest city on the Tibetan Plateau and home to over 200, 000 Tibetans. Dr. Grant shows how specific processes complicate the rural/urban divide and allow for the emergence of a “regional modernity” where Tibetan urbanites develop tools for the “remediation of the Chinese Dream,” and subtly challenge and subvert the social and ethnic hierarchies promoted through urban development policies. Despite the idea of the city or Trungcher (grong 'khyer) as a place of moral decay and social disintegration, instead of rejecting and retreating from it, Tibetans view the city as a site of social and political possibility; where they can assert their social existence and cultural identity through creative forms of cultural expression and entrepreneurial endeavor.

================================================== ==SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1================================================== == DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADOLESCENTES 2022“UN SALTO EN EL TIEMPO”Narrado por: DORIANY SÁNCHEZDesde: PERÚUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church 25 DE AGOSTOEL GRAN BULO SOBRE LA LUNA«Porque surgirán falsos Cristos y falsos profetas que harán grandes señales y milagros para engañar, de ser posible, aun a los elegidos» (Mateo 24:24, NVI).EI aterrizaje de una nave espacial en la Luna le quitó mucho misterio a este satélite, aunque aún quedan cosas que no sabemos de él. Vivimos en una época de conocimiento y exploración. Gran parte de la extravagancia de los años pasados ha desaparecido, y eso no es del todo malo; pero hace siglo y medio mucha gente en los Estados Unidos se creen historias descabelladas sobre la Luna. Al menos durante un tiempo. Asi es como sucedio.En este día de 1835, empezaron a circular en los periódicos estadounidenses artículos donde se decía que se había descubierto vida en la Luna. Sí, en la Luna. Es difícil creerlo, pero eso es lo que decía la prensa. La mayoría de los artículos eran reimpresiones de una vieja revista llamada Edinburgh Journal of Science. Por ser una revista científica, a la gente le parecía de fiar. Los artículos decían que el doctor Andrew Grant, amigo del famoso astrónomo Sir John Herschel, había encontrado pruebas de vida en la Luna. Grant describía animales extraños como unicornios, castores de dos patas y criaturas peludas parecidas a los murciélagos. Los artículos describían la geografía de la Luna, incluyendo cráteres, enormes cristales de amatista, caudalosos ríos y vegetación. El New York Sun, un periódico sensacionalista y barato, publicó también todos esos datos falsos. Cuando salió el primer artículo, las ventas del New York Sun se dispararon inmediatamente. Los artículos eran emocionantes, y a los lectores les encantaban. ¿El problema? ¡Que todo era mentira! El Edinburgh Journal of Science llevaba años sin publicarse. Todo era inventado, y el doctor Grant era un personaje ficticio.¿Quién era el responsable de todo aquello? Lo más probable es que fuera Richard Adams Locke, un reportero de otro periódico. Las historias no estaban destinadas a ser tomadas en serio; pretendían burlarse de historias anteriores sobre extraterrestres, especialmente de las escritas por Thomas Dick, que una vez dijo que la Luna tenía 4,200 millones de habitantes. Pero los lectores estaban tan ansiosos por creer, que no captaron el chiste y fueron completamente engañados. Incluso los científicos de la Universidad de Yale fueron engañados. Finalmente, el Sun admitió que los artículos eran un bulo, y se refirió a ellos como «El gran bulo sobre la Luna». La mayoría de los lectores pensaron que todo el asunto era gracioSo, y siguieron comprando el periódico.Antes de que Jesús venga de nuevo, los falsos profetas que dicen ser Cristo, «surgirán... y harán grandes señales y milagros para engañar, de ser posible, aun a los elegidos». ¿Eres uno de los elegidos? Pídele a Dios que te ayude a comprender las Escrituras hoy para que no te dejes engañar.

Andrew Child never backs down from a challenge. Whether it's leaving a stable corporate job to pursue a writing career or picking up the reins of his brother's legendary Jack Reacher series, his willingness to take risks and put himself out there have helped him become the successful writer he is today. Child has been writing full-time since 2008 and is most known for his David Trevellyan and Paul McGrath series. His latest release, Better Off Dead, is available below. From Amazon.com: Andrew Grant was born in Birmingham, England in May 1968. He went to school in St Albans, Hertfordshire and later attended the University of Sheffield where he studied English Literature and Drama. After graduation Andrew set up and ran a small independent theatre company which showcased a range of original material to local, regional and national audiences. Following a critically successful but financially challenging appearance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival Andrew moved into the telecommunications industry as a 'temporary' solution to a short-term cash crisis. Fifteen years later, after carrying out a variety of roles including several which were covered by the UK's Official Secrets Act, Andrew became the victim / beneficiary of a widespread redundancy programme. Freed once again from the straight jacket of corporate life, he took the opportunity to answer the question, what if ... ?
