I'm a publisher with Orion Books in London. Been reading crime and thrillers since the age of 10 (Conan Doyle was my first dip) and turned hobby to job 9 years ago...
Books And Authors I Like:
All Orion authors (obviously...) but outside that hallowed circle would particularly mention John Connolly, Mark Billingham, Jeffery Deaver, Lee Child and Mr Lehane as masters of their art.
If I had to pick a desert island novel it would have to be... mmm...
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
Fixated with m.o.r. US drama - West Wing, House, Lost etc. Also a big fan of current Kudos shows - SPOOKS, Life on Mars (can't get into Hustle).

Jon is also a complete hustler on the pool table who has the perfect youthful looks to play the Tom Cruise character in the Colour of Money. I can attest to having watched him clean up against the likes of John Connelly, Mark Billingham and Declan Hughes at Bouchercon in October. I'd also mention my defeat but the wounds are still too raw.

As to 'real work' - I think that is something best left for others better qualified than myself.
