Who Is Nora Roberts?

Born on October 10, 1950, in Silver Spring, Maryland, Nora Roberts was the youngest out of five children. She met her husband while in high school, and got married soon after graduating.

She bore two sons, Jason and Dan, and said that raising her children as a homemaker was considered as her “Earth Mother” years. She spent her free time doing arts and crafts, including making ceramics and sewing clothes for her kids.

It wasn’t until 1979 during a February blizzard when she started writing her first novel. According to Roberts, being stuck in her house with nothing but snow all around her spurred her to write because she had nothing else to do.

As soon as she held a pen, she instantly fell in love with writing and ended up producing six manuscripts instantly.

Roberts faced a couple of rejections before publishing her first novel. Her first work, Irish Thoroughbred, was published in 1981. She produced 23 more books in the next three years.

Nora Roberts got her taste of real recognition when she published Playing the Odds, the first book of her best selling romantic series, in 1985. The novel was a great success, and Roberts received a lot of fame among the romance novel readers.

From 1991 to 2001, Roberts had 68 novels penned as best sellers by The New York Times. She was also the author of the four out of the five most popular and best-selling romantic novels in 1999 and 2000, according to USA Today.

She was also involved in a plagiarism scandal where she sued author Janet Daily for copying her work. Daily eventually confessed to the crime.

1) Blue Smoke Nora Roberts – 1909

Book Summary: Incomparable #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts delivers a tale of gut-level fear, human triumph, and the bonds that carry us through our darkest times…Reena Hale’s destiny was shaped in the destructive—yet fascinatingly beautiful—fire that leveled her family’s pizzeria when she was young. Now an arson investigator, she finds her strength and wits constantly tested, although sometimes the job seems like a snap compared to her love life. But she can’t always blame the men. After all, a soot-caked woman barking orders and smelling of smoke isn’t the biggest turn-on in the world. Then she meets Bo Goodnight, who seems different. He’s been trying to find Reena for years, and now that she’s close enough to touch, he has no intention of letting go.Nor does the man who has begun to haunt Reena’s life—with taunting phone calls and a string of horrifying crimes. And as Reena tries desperately to trace the origins—of the calls, the fires, the hatred aimed in her direction—she will step into the worst inferno she has ever faced…
