诺拉·罗伯茨

诺拉·罗伯茨（英語：Nora Roberts，本名埃莉诺·玛丽·罗伯逊，英語：Eleanor Marie Robertson，1950年10月10日—）是一位美国畅销书作家，出版过超过209部言情小说。她的笔名有J. D. Robb，Jill March和Sarah Hardesty。 诺拉·罗伯茨是第一位入选美国浪漫作家名人堂的作家。截至2011年，她的小说曾进入紐約時報暢銷書榜861周，其中包括176周的第一名。 1950年10月10日埃莉诺·玛丽·罗伯逊出生于马里兰州银泉，是五个孩子最小的。她是爱尔兰后裔。她的家人都酷爱读书，所以书在她的生活中总是很重要。她在一所天主教学校学习。高中二年级时，罗伯茨转学到当地的公立学校，蒙哥马利布莱尔高中。在那里她遇到了她的第一任丈夫Ronald Aufdem-Brinke。1968年高中毕业后他们结婚。 罗伯茨的丈夫在他父亲的公司工作。她生了两个儿子，Dan和Jason。罗伯茨成为了一个家庭主妇。罗伯茨花了很多时间做工艺品，包括陶瓷和缝制孩子的衣服。与丈夫1983年离婚。 罗伯茨与第二任丈夫Bruce Wilder相遇，他是一个木匠，因为罗伯茨聘请他为她修书架而认识。1985年7月他们结婚。她的丈夫拥有并经营一家书店。还拥有附近历史悠久的一家酒店。 当罗伯茨专注于写一部小说时，每天要工作8个小时，即使度假也一样。罗伯茨不是开始一个大纲或剧情梗概，而是设想一个重要事件，人物，背景等。然后她开始写有一个故事基本元素的很短的初稿。完成初稿后，罗伯茨又回到了小说的开头。第二稿通常开始增加细节，增加“纹理和色彩”的工作，以及对人物进行更深入的研究。在修正最后定稿后发送给经纪人。 她经常写三部曲，这样她就可以继续保留相同角色。她的三部曲都是平装版本出版，因为罗伯茨认为，等待精装版本对读者来说时间太长。 罗伯茨在互联网上做了很多研究，因为她讨厌飞行。 她是一个狂热的棒球迷。 1981 《爱尔兰纯种》 1982 #BLITHE IMAGES (SR 127) 1/82 #SONG OF THE WEST (SR 143) 4/82 #SEARCH FOR LOVE (SR 163) 7/82 #ISLAND OF FLOWERS (SR 180) 10/82 #HEART'S VICTORY (SE 59) 11/82 1983 #FROM THIS DAY (SR 199) 1/83 #HER MOTHER'S KEEPER (SR 125) 4/83 #ONCE MORE WITH FEELING (IM 2) 5/83 #REFLECTIONS (SE 100) 6/83 c – Dreams #TONIGHT AND ALWAYS (IM 12) 7/83 DANCE OF DREAMS (SE 116) 9/83 c – Reflections UNTAMED (SR 252) 10/83 THIS MAGIC MOMENT (IM 25) 11/83 1984 ENDINGS & BEGINNINGS (IM 33) 1/84 STORM WARNING (SR 274) 2/84 PROMISE ME TOMORROW (Pocket mm) 2/84 SULLIVAN'S WOMAN (SR 280) 3/84 FIRST IMPRESSION (SE 162) 4/84 A MATTER OF CHOICE (IM 49) 5/84 LESS OF A STRANGER (SR 299) 6/84 THE LAW IS A LADY (SE 175) 7/84 RULES OF THE GAME (IM 70) 10/84 OPPOSITES ATTRACT (SE 199) 11/84 1985 PLAYING THE ODDS (SE 225) 3/85 s – The MacGregors THE RIGHT PATH (IM 85) 3/85 PARTNERS (IM 94) 5/85 TEMPTING FATE (SE 235) 5/85 s – The MacGregors NIGHT MOVES (HI 19) 6/85 ALL THE POSSIBILITIES (SE 247) 7/85 s – The MacGregors ONE MAN'S ART (SE 259) 9/85 s – The MacGregors BOUNDARY LINES (IM 114) 10/85 SUMMER DESSERTS (SE 271) 11/85 c – Lessons Learned DUAL IMAGE (IM 123) 12/85 1986 SECOND NATURE (SE 288) 1/86 c – One Summer THE ART OF DECEPTION (IM 131) 2/86 ONE SUMMER (SE 306) 4/86 c – Second Nature AFFAIRE ROYALE (IM 142) 5/86 s – Cordina’s Royal Family LESSONS LEARNED (SE 318) 6/86 c – Summer Desserts TREASURES LOST, TREASURES FOUND (IM 150) 7/86 RISKY BUSINESS (IM 160) 9/86 A WILL AND A WAY (SE 345) 11/86 HOME FOR CHRISTMAS (Sil.
