Identity

Because it’s never too early to plan ahead, I’m pleased to share the cover of Identity — Nora’s May 2023 release (specifically, it’s out 5/23/23). Isn’t it gorgeous??? St. Martin’s Press outdid themselves with this one. So…what’s it about? The only official copy is this: The #1 New York Times-bestselling author’s terrifying new thriller about one … Continue reading Identity →

Desperation in Death discussion space

Today’s the day! Desperation in Death is officially on sale. And this is the official space to discuss all things Desperation. Beware of spoilers in the comments. Did you notice any of the questions I posed in the other thread? Or were you reading so fast to get to the conclusion that you’ll notice on … Continue reading Desperation in Death discussion space →

Desperation in Death Teasers

We’re three days away from Desperation in Death arriving on shelves, to your house by mail or to your e-reader by magic, so that means it’s time for a few teasers. Not spoilers, just a few little things to notice as you read. Usually I have some ideas of what will work as teasers when … Continue reading Desperation in Death Teasers →

A note from Laura

A Monday afternoon blog post is rare, but I thought this was important.   Last week, The Washington Post ran this story. Nora was appalled and asked me to find a way for her to help them bridge the gap — personally, not through the Nora Roberts Foundation.  I contacted the WaPo reporter who provided me … Continue reading A note from Laura →

Trust Me

Desperation In Death comes out shortly. As always, I enjoyed spending time ( a lot on this side of the page!) in that world, with the characters who inhabit it. And hope you will, too. Whenever we announce a new In Death, there’s excitement and speculation. There’s also—inevitably—a continuing complaint from some readers. It goes … Continue reading Trust Me →

Summertime news

Hello all, How have you fared during the dog days of summer? Or the depths of winter, depending on your hemisphere? Nora’s currently with family at the spa while I thought it was time to get a regular summer cold. (Forgot how little fun they are.) But before either of those things happened, we had … Continue reading Summertime news →

Italy 2022 – A Postscript

Did you think I’d make you go cold turkey on the travelogues? I thought it might help the transition if I posted once more and shared a few things. The trip home took some time, but the family was back in a rainy Maryland before dinner last night. Now Nora’s reacquainting herself with the dogs … Continue reading Italy 2022 – A Postscript →

Tuscany – Day 24

A day of packing and organizing and planning. Five adults and a toddler can spread out a lot in a couple weeks. Apparently I slept through a storm the night before—thunder, lightning and much needed rain—which turned the day’s sky pure blue, blew away all the haze, and took the temperatures down to normal. Of … Continue reading Tuscany – Day 24 →

Tuscany – Day 23

After workout, I’m told we have no cold water. The gardener’s trying to fix this issue, and the housekeepers are also on it. It’s a good thing my workout was brief today, because no shower. Definitely no shower as by the time we’re ready to leave, no water at all. And about the time we’re … Continue reading Tuscany – Day 23 →

Tuscany – Day 22

After my work out, I can hear Kayla fake squealing so know I’ll find her and Griffin, at least, in the game room. And I do, along with Kat and a game of video Yahtzee. Griffin requires a brief non-virtual race with Nana before he morphs into Danger Guy dangering on the sofa. He pays … Continue reading Tuscany – Day 22 →
