Florence – Day 2

Some of us pop awake, others stagger, but eventually we’re all up, and it’s time to roll out of here. Our first goal today is the Duomo. Lots of walking and window shopping along the way. I love the narrow streets, the cobblestones, the sun-washed colors of the buildings with their impressive doors. Then those … Continue reading Florence – Day 2 →

Florence – Day 1

At last, after a two-year delay, we’re off to Italy. BW and I are so lucky to have our unflappable traveling companions, Jason and Kat, along with our youngest and oldest grandkids. This is Kayla’s high school graduation trip—and she’ll be a junior in collage next fall. This is a three-week trip (!) so we … Continue reading Florence – Day 1 →

Nora’s Garden Album

Nora’s deep into book world, tying things up before the family vacation starts in 10 days (daily updates beginning mid-June). So instead of a post, I’m sharing garden photos (the ones I forgot over a week ago 😳). Hope you’re all enjoying the weekend. Laura

Desperation in Death excerpt

It’s never too early to plan ahead — even as you shouldn’t wish your life away. I had a chance to read Desperation in Death while I recovered from hip replacement and it’s a fast-paced entry in the series that grabs you by the throat from the first. Which you’ll see in a minute. The … Continue reading Desperation in Death excerpt →

Nightwork discussion thread

I know it’s a month off, but I think of release day for Nora’s summer book as the first day of summer (or winter in the southern hemisphere). Nightwork is on shelves now! Harry Booth started stealing at nine to keep a roof over his ailing mother’s head. He slips into luxurious, empty homes at … Continue reading Nightwork discussion thread →

Girls, Games & Griffin

Another Girl Spa Week in the bag! We missed Laura, who ditched us to attend her son’s wedding. Of all the nerve! And Pat who’s in the process of moving. But the rest of us had a very fine time. Every time I walk into the lobby after the drive, I feel my stress level … Continue reading Girls, Games & Griffin →

Book Notes

Greetings from the Cranky Publicist desk. And Happy Mother’s Day to everyone who’s a mother of the heart in any way, shape or form. I know you’d all prefer a Kentucky Derby post, especially after that amazing race yesterday evening, but Nora and Bruce opted not to attend this year due to the crowds and … Continue reading Book Notes →

Springing

There’s little I like better than saying goodbye to winter. I took the snow we had after Easter as a personal insult. But finally, it’s here! BW and I hit our nursery—Sunny Meadows is one of my favorite places. Not only because this trip means SPRING, but everything is so beautiful, so well tended. Everyone … Continue reading Springing →

Nora’s on a Podcast!

Nora was invited to appear on Fated Mates, a podcast hosted by Sarah MacLean and Jen Prokop. What drew Nora in was the free-ranging questions and the hosts’ focus on women who led the way in the romance genre. And it answers why Nora no longer writes straight romance. It’s a fascinating episode. Nora Roberts: … Continue reading Nora’s on a Podcast! →

Recovery, rest and a REALLY annoying puzzle

I thought it was time to change things up and post an update from the CP, instead of Nora. I’m nearly six weeks out from hip replacement and will honestly say the hip is doing great. (My right knee — the first site of arthritis — doesn’t like things right now, but PT and massage … Continue reading Recovery, rest and a REALLY annoying puzzle →
