## 個人生活

### 早期

1950 年 10 月 10 日埃莉諾・瑪麗・羅伯遜出生於馬里蘭州銀泉，是五個孩子最小的。她是愛爾蘭後裔。她的家人都酷愛讀書，所以書在她的生活中總是很重要。她在一所天主教學校學習。高中二年級時，羅伯特轉學到當地的公立學校，蒙哥馬利布萊爾高中。在那裡她遇到了她的第一任丈夫 Ronald Aufdem-Brinke。1968 年高中畢業後他們結婚。

羅伯特的丈夫在他父親的公司工作。她生了兩個兒子，Dan 和 Jason。羅伯特成為了一個家庭主婦。羅伯特花了很多時間做工藝品，包括陶瓷和縫製孩子的衣服。與丈夫 1983 年離婚。

### 現在

羅伯特與第二任丈夫 Bruce Wilder 相遇，他是一個木匠，因為羅伯特聘請他為她修書架而認識。1985 年 7 月他們結婚。她的丈夫擁有並經營一家書店。還擁有附近歷史悠久的一家酒店。

當羅伯特專注於寫一部小說時，每天要工作 8 個小時，即使度假也一樣。羅伯特不是開始一個大綱或劇情梗概，而是設想一個重要事件，人物，背景等。然後她開始寫有一個故事基本元素的很短的初稿。完成初稿後，羅伯特又回到了小說的開頭。第二稿通常開始增加細節，增加「紋理和色彩」的工作，以及對人物進行更深入的研究。在修正最後定稿後發送給經紀人。

她經常寫三部曲，這樣她就可以繼續保留相同角色。她的三部曲都是平裝版本出版，因為羅伯特認為，等待精裝版本對讀者來說時間太長。

羅伯特在網際網路上做了很多研究，因為她討厭飛行。

她是一個狂熱的棒球迷。
