Nora Roberts is known as "The Queen of Romance" with good reason: she is both prolific and generous with time and energy. Roberts has been lauded with many awards; her first was for The Heart's Victory, which won the 1983 Golden Medallion in the Contemporary Sensual Category. Nora Roberts was the first author inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame. In 2007, her novel Angels Fall received the Quill Book of the Year Award, an honor chosen by fans and readers.

Roberts famously started her writing career when a 1979 blizzard trapped her and her young sons indoors for an extended period of time. Her first novel, Irish Thoroughbred, was published in 1981. She continued writing exclusively for the Harlequin/Silhouette lines until 1987, when she branched out into Single Title.

Though Nora Roberts no longer writes for the Harlequin/Silhouette family, her backlist titles remain in print and top sellers. Many of her books have been collected in a special group called Nora Roberts Language Of Love. She wrote one novel for the Harlequin Intrigue imprint. Roberts published 13 novels for the Silhouette Romance imprint.

Roberts also publishes futuristic suspense under the name J.D. Robb.
