Carti scrise de Nora Roberts

   Nora Roberts (Eleanor Marie Robertson) s-a nascut pe data de 10 octombrie 1950 in Silver Spring, Maryland, SUA, fiind cea mai mica dintre cei cinci copii, ambii sai parinti avand stramosi irlandezi. A urmat o scoala catolica de calugaritele ce i-au insuflat un sentiment de disciplina, apoi liceul Montgomery Blair. Pe parcursul anului al doilea de studentie s-a transferat la o scoala publica locala, unde s-a intalnit cu Ronald Aufdem-Brinke, viitorul ei sot.

    A inceput sa scrie in 1979, dar primele sale manuscrise i-au fost respinse de editura.In anul 1981 i se publica prima nuvela “Irish Thoroughbred” la Editura Silhouette Books cu pseudonimul Nora Roberts.Devine celebra o data cu publicarea nuvelei “Playing The Odds”, prima din seria The MacGregor, in anul 1985. Din anul 1992 incepe sa colaboreze cu editura Putnam care ii sugereaza Norei Roberts sa adopte un alt pseudonim pentru romanele sale de suspans. Si astfel ajunge sa scrie seria In Death sub numele de J D Robb. Mai scrie si sub pseudonimul Jill March, iar pentru o publicatie din Marea Britanie ca si Sarah Hardesty.

   In 1985 se casatoreste pentru a doua oara cu tamplarul Bruce Wilder, care detine in prezent o librarie in Boonsboro, Maryland care se cheama Turn the Page Book.Impreuna mai detin si hotelul Inn BoonsBoro ale caror apartamente poarta numele cuplurilor romantice din carti (sunt transpuse in trilogia “Hanul amintirilor”).

   Nora Roberts este castigatoarea a numeroase premii RWA Rita Awards, cea mai mare distinctie a genului romantic.
