Nora Roberts releases several new romance novels every year, making her one of the most prolific authors of our time. She is continually adding to a number of series and has published more than 200 novels—some sweet, some suspenseful, and some fantasy.
Roberts has regularly hit the New York Times bestseller list since 1999. Thanks to her dedicated fans and the fact that she was an early pioneer in communicating with them online, it is rare that a new release does not hit that esteemed book list. In fact, starting in 1999, every Nora Roberts book has made it.
Known for writing compelling series and trilogies, Roberts is adept at telling stories that almost force you to hunt down the next title. Her 'In Death' series is closing in on 50 titles. It is a detective romance series written under the pseudonym J.D. Robb.

Jodi Picoult is one of my favorite authors but this book wasn't very good. It was to short and ended weird. Review 2: I love Jodi Picoult, so I was excited to see a 'Kindle Single' by her. I have to say that I didn't realise just quite how short it would be, and felt slightly cheated out of 99p! Still, it is a Jodi Picoult - and I still enjoyed it.
Nora Roberts and J.D. Robb Books by Year
Roberts started writing during a blizzard in 1979. It forced her two sons to stay home from school, and she was on the verge of going stir crazy. Though her writing may have started out as a creative escape, it quickly turned into a long and lasting career.
If you're looking for her earliest work, she published six titles within the first two years of her debut. This volume for a new author is astounding in itself and is just a prelude to the amount of work she would produce in the coming decades.

- 1982: 'Blithe Images'
- 1982: 'Song of the West'
