Queen of the romance novel, Roberts has written more bestsellers than anyone in the world. Of her 190 full length novels, 162 of them have spent over 800 weeks on The New York Times bestsellers list. More than 400 million copies of her books are in print in 34 languages. She also writes romance detective novels under the pseudonym, J.D. Robb. As if that isn’t enough to keep her busy, between chapters she purchased and oversaw every aspect of the renovation of the historic Inn BoonsBoro, minutes from her Keedysville, Md., home.
