Nora Roberts (born Eleanor Marie Robertson on October 10, 1950) has been publishing books since 1981, her first publication being published by a new small romance publisher, Silhouette Books, who picked up Irish Thoroughbred which had been rejected by Harlequin Romance Novels. If that isn’t a success story of “look where she is now,” I don’t know what else it is. From what I could find, she has now published over 225 novels under the names Nora Roberts, J. D. Robb, Jill March, and Sarah Hardesty (in the UK).
