His real name isn't Child

Edit: His real name is Jim Grant (Gidday Jim) http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Child

I once read that the name Lee Child was commercially deliberate: Lee can be either Male or female so could appeal to any airport bookshelf browser and Child because it's a very familiar, safe and comfortable word.

I'd interested to know which explanation is correct, this or the wiki.. Sorry I can't find the other source.

(I seem to remember it saying something about the airport market being a key target, hence the easy-read style and short choppy sentences)

Either way, great books. Thrilled to read that there are many more coming!

Are you any better than the average Joe at opening jars of pickles etc?

Thanks for answering my last one, so are they at the stage where they're as good as they are going to get or do you have plans for more work to improve dexterity? And are you still working with the same surgeon who did the initial operation? Thanks for doing this, fascinating.

With the rotational movement thing, do you text with your finger-thumbs or is it easier with your finger-fingers?
