The man behind Jack Reacher

We're celebrating the best creatives where we live with Nina Das Gupta, including:

• From Handsworth Wood to 40 years at the forefront of literary thrillers: Writing superstar Lee Child opens up on his 30 bestsellers as the man behind Jack Reacher, being a Villa fan and not knowing the destination of his plots until he writes them.

• Why it's Lights, Camera, ten days of "action!" for the West Midlands: Get the low-down on next week's Birmingham Film Festival, bringing more than 200 creations to showcase the directors, producers, actors and writers of the future.

• When world-class artists lit up Worcester city centre like you've never seen before: Get an exclusive tour of the Bridges of Light festival, bringing stunning displays of light throughout the city centre.

• He's the Telford and Stoke writer whose work almost every week goes international! We catch up with script-writer extraordinaire Grant Foxon, whose latest film and podcasts have gone transatlantic.

• She's one of comedy's rising stars, made in the West Midlands: Podcaster, script-writer, sketch artist and stand-up Lorna Rose Treen is on, fresh from another sold-out Edinburgh Fringe run and ahead of a second series of her award-winning Radio 4 show.

• He's the Worcestershire dog trainer who appeared in the Oscar-winning World War One epic 1917 and has just published a new book. We chat with actor Scott Harrington and his labrador Benny, who say they're created the ultimate guide for canine companions and animal enthusiasts.

• Honing a passion decades in the making: Meet Warwickshire writer Anthony Etherington who's made it his mission to take readers all over the world, in a journey created from the comfort of his Kenilworth home.
