Eleanor Marie Wilder

One of 242 books by Nora Roberts is sold every 4 minutes in the United States. The shelves of the study of the author of novels and detectives are decorated with numerous awards, among which there is even a writer's Oscar. Nora Roberts received the Quill Pen Award in the Romantic Literature category.

Eleanor Marie Robertson was born on October 10, 1950 in the provincial town of Silver Spring, Maryland. The girl's father, projectionist Bernie Robertson, from childhood instilled in his daughter and four older brothers Eleanor a love of reading. From a young age, the child was surrounded by books, so the girl quite early began to compose interesting stories that she told others.

The Robertson couple who emigrated from Ireland strictly monitored the attitude of children to religious dogmas. Nora was sent early to a Catholic school, where the girl was brought up in strict discipline.

The biography of the future writer changed direction dramatically after Nora moved to a school near her home. In her second year at Blair High School, she met her future husband, Ronald.

Immediately after graduation, Nora, despite the dissatisfaction of her parents, got married, changing her last name to Aufem Brick.

To help her husband pay the bills, the young wife got a job as a secretary in a small law firm. And after the birth of her first child, Eleanor took up housekeeping, earning money by selling knitted things of her own production.

Nora's first book appeared thanks to a blizzard. In 1979, Mrs. Aufem-Brick, the mother of two boys, was held hostage to her own home. The blizzard broke out so hard that it filled up Nora's house.

The woman and her sons spent a week locked up. And while the children watched Sesame Street, Nora sketched out a rough draft of a love story by hand. Robertson was so fascinated by writing that the housewife created several more works in the next couple of weeks. After three years of constant refusals from publishing houses, Silhouette published Nora's first work, Purebred Irish.

However, popularity and recognition came to Roberts (by this time Eleanor took a pseudonym, shortening her first name and maiden name) only in 1985, when the "Game of Differences" appeared on the shelves of bookstores.

Accustomed to self-discipline, Nora created 5-6 works per year. And each new novel had the same resounding success as the previous one, and sometimes surpassed its predecessor in popularity.

In 1995, already known as the author of love stories, Roberts surprises fans by creating a non-trivial detective story "Awesome Man". The action-packed novel marked the beginning of a series of books under the general title "The Investigation is led by Eva Dallas."

In order not to shock the audience, which is accustomed to a different role of the author, Nora releases a detective under the pseudonym JD Robb. In the new name, the writer combined the initials of her own children and further reduced her maiden name.

The author of romance novels has made a similar strategic move before. The Konkennan Sisters series of books appeared in bookstores under the pseudonym Sarah Hardesty, and the five-volume Night Stories series was signed by the name of Christine Salinger.

According to Nora, the writer likes most of all to create trilogies. This allows you to stay with your favorite characters longer and better reveals the characters of the heroes. Producers of film studios drew attention to the fruitful work and interesting stories of the bestselling author. The first film, based on the Nora Roberts novel, was released in 1989.

The premiere screening of the film, entitled "Magic Moments", confirmed the guesses of the film industry - Roberts' works are an excellent basis for scripts. By 2011, 11 novels of the writer were screened. Nora wrote the scripts for the films that were released in collaboration with eminent screenwriters.

The bestselling author's first marriage fell apart in 1983, when Nora's books began to receive accolades from critics. The divorce went without scandals and complications. Dan and Jason - the couple's sons - remained in the care of their mother.

A year later, fate brought the woman to Bruce Wilder. A professional carpenter and fiction lover arrived at the writer's house to craft new bookshelves. The pleasant acquaintance continued, and in 1985 Nora and Bruce were married.

The newlyweds moved to the city of Boonsboro, where the couple opened their own bookstore. The main business management fell on the shoulders of Nora's spouse, but the writer spends about 8 hours in the bookstore every day. In the back of the building, Bruce has set up an office for his wife, where Roberts writes new works and does research work for books.

Another common passion of the couple was the Boone Hotel. The couple bought a closed hotel of historical value for the city. In 2009, after a lengthy renovation, the hotel opened its doors to guests.

In May 2018, Nora's new creation is released - the detective novel Shelter in Place, which tells the story of the lives of three teenagers who survived the mass shooting in a shopping center. During the year, 2 more works will appear on the bookshelves: "Leverage in death" and "Of blood and bone".

Nora is still in her habit of working on the novel 8 hours a day. The bestselling author spends his free time in the garden where he grows magnolias or socializes with his grandchildren Colt, Kayla and Logan.

The spouses are also kind to their own hotel. Bruce's new hobby, in addition to the store and the hotel, was photography. The Roberts-Wilders often host photo exhibitions to show guests the beautiful views of Ireland, where Nora and Bruce spend their rare and short vacations.
