Hilarious, as always (Note to self: no food/drink while watching authortalk videos). See Nora perform some of the skills she picked up researching Tribute, her July release. Authortalk.tv Send to Kindle

Dear Ms. Roberts: Usually your single title books work for me and work well. It’s the single titles, not the JD Robb books or the categories, that made me a fan. Unfortunately, I never quite grasped hold of the characters in Tribute. I like Cilla well enough but Ford, well, I did not lose the(…)

Little, Brown (and not Penguin UK) did some “extensive market research” to ascertain why US mega bestseller Nora Roberts isn’t making the same waves in the UK. Apparently it is the covers. The focus group readers said that the covers were too old and didn’t represent the “strong female characters” that the readers found synonymous(…)

Nicole and Jim Hayes opened up the Cafe Book store in Antioch, Illinois last month inspired by Nora Roberts’ Three Sisters Trilogy. The bookstore is designed to invoke the feeling of the bookstore in the series. The selection is small but the atmosphere is conducive to lounging. The Hayes’ have previous small business and restaurant(…)

A fire on February 22, 2008, consumed the Historic Boonsboro Inn that Nora Roberts and her family were restoring. The blaze also damaged six other buildings in the small town. No one was injured but there was an estimated $1.5 to $2 million in damage. The Smart Bitches reported on this yesterday and Nora dropped(…)

Dear Ms. Roberts: I discovered the In Death series almost 20 books in (at the publication of Portrait in Death), so I had the opportunity to read a big chunk of Eve and Roarke’s story all at once. I was immediately and completely caught up in the fictional futuristic world, from the tumultuous adventure of(…)

Want to give a show of support outside making a comment? If you’ve read the Newsweek report by Paul Tolme, the ferrets whose “closest relations are European ferrets and Siberian polecats” are an endangered species. Nora Roberts and the Smart Bitches have put together a wonderful sort of “pay it forward” campaign. If you give(…)

The following guest review/letter comes from author Jenyfer Matthews whose latest release, One Crazy Summer, is available in ebook form. *** The nicest thing my ex-SIL ever did was introduce me to Nora Roberts books. She gave me a box of her castoffs with the warning that they were formulaic but fun. Included in the(…)

Reader Troy sent me the link to Nora Roberts’ 10 Questions, but it was on Sunday and I forgot about it until I say that SB Sarah blogged about it. So thank you Troy. Sorry that I suck and forgot to post. Send to Kindle

Dear Ms. Roberts: This is a tough review to write and not because I was unhappy with it but because while good, it reads like one giant prologue. This book is better suited to be purchased and read with its two other companion books because the plot is one that spans the three books. In(…)

Dear Ms. Roberts I feel a bit awkward writing this review because I know that you read the blog on occassion. I felt like I was on a Nora Roberts high the last three books. Angels Fall, Innocent in Death, and High Noon were all either keepers or close to keepers so I was near(…)

If you didn’t heart Nora Roberts before for her writing, you have to love her for the speech she gave last night at the 3d Annual Quill Awards. Publisher’s Weekly and NBC teamed up to create the Quill Awards a few years ago with the intention of bringing “glamour and red carpet extravagance to the(…)

Dear Ms. Roberts: Most readers say the same thing about you and that is you consistently deliver good, solid reads. But as with all authors, particularly those with ginormous backlists (and yes, ginormous is now an official word), some books are better than others. When I started this book, I was a little apprehensive wondering(…)

Can’t wait until July 10th for Nora Roberts High Noon and don’t mind paying near full price for a bunch of bytes that you really don’t own and will have to read on your laptop or handheld? I totally understand. Ereader is offering High Noon for $24.95 today, which is five days before its scheduled(…)
