Nora Roberts` astounding success did not come overnight. After years of rejection, her first novel Irish Thoroughbred, was published in 1981. Several of her manuscripts languished for years before they were accepted by the publishers.

But today, according to Entertainment Weekly, "Her stories have fuelled the dreams of twenty-five million readers." One of America`s leading novelists, her books are published around the world. She is frequently invited to promote her novels in other countries. Her recent travels took her to England, Italy, Australia and Japan to meet fans, fellow authors and aspiring writers.
