Biography Not only has Nora Roberts written morebestsellers than anyone else in the world (according to Publishers Weekly ), she’s also created ahybrid genre of her own: the futuristic detective romance. Andthat’s on top of mastering every subgenre in theromance pie: the family saga, the historical, the suspense novel.But this most prolific and versatile of authors might never havetapped into her native talent if it hadn't been for one fatefulsnowstorm. As her fans well know, in 1979 a blizzard trapped Roberts athome for a week with two bored little kids and a dwindling supplyof chocolate. To maintain her sanity, Roberts started scribbling astory -- a romance novel like the Harlequin paperbacks she'drecently begun reading. The resulting manuscript was rejected byHarlequin, but that didn't matter to Roberts. She was hooked onwriting. Several rejected manuscripts later, her first book wasaccepted for publication by Silhouette. For several years, Roberts wrote category romances forSilhouette -- short books written to the publisher's specificationsfor length, subject matter and style, and marketed as part of aseries of similar books. Roberts has said she never found the formrestrictive. "If you write in category, you write knowing there's aframework, there are reader expectations," she explained. "If thisdoesn't suit you, you shouldn't write it. I don't believe for onemoment you can write well what you wouldn't read for pleasure."
