## 个人生活
### 早期
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。

### 现在
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。
