Tickets can be claimed online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.universe.com\/events\/marion-marsh-brown-writers-lecture-series-featuring-lee-child-tickets-4XF2YG\">this link<\/a> and at Baxter Arena&#8217;s Box Office (2425 S. 67th Street) during regular hours (10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Friday).<\/p>\n<p>Child was fired and out of work when he hatched a harebrained scheme to write a best-selling novel, thus saving his family from ruin. &#8220;Killing Floor&#8221; went on to launch a No. 1 New York Times best-selling series that is sold in 47 languages. Forbes calls the Jack Reacher series &#8220;The Strongest Brand in Publishing.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In addition to being a household name, Child is one of Omaha&#8217;s most popular authors as measured by Omaha Public Library circulation. His visit will be the third lecture in UNO&#8217;s Marion Marsh Brown Writers Lecture Series, which has previously brought authors John Grisham and Cheryl Strayed to Omaha.<\/p>\n<p>The Marion Marsh Brown Writers Lecture Series is presented by Marion&#8217;s son Paul Brown, his wife Djel Ann, and their children, Randy, Scott, and Marietta Luellen. <\/p>\n<p>Marion served as a professor of English at UNO (then Omaha University) from 1954 through 1968. She wrote more than 15 books and is best known for her young adult literature. The series celebrates her life and work by bringing a well-known author to UNO each year.<\/p>\n<p><b><a
