Meet Nora Roberts...

As you may have noticed, we love Nora Roberts at Piatkus!

However, many readers on this side of the Atlantic have never had an opportunity to meet Nora or hear her talk about her writing.

Luckily, Nora was gracious enough to allow us to interview her while she's been holidaying in Ireland (a place where all you Nora-readers know will always have a place in her heart).


To see this interview, please click here!


We'd be delighted to hear what you think. And let us know what your favourite Nora title is ... we'd love to hear from you!


Also, don't forget to look out for Nora's new book, High Noon, which is being published next month in July. Savannah’s top hostage negotiator, Police Lieutenant Phoebe MacNamara, found her calling at an early age when an unstable man broke into her family’s home, trapping and terrorising them for hours. But not everyone is enamoured of Phoebe’s charms. And when she’s grabbed by an unseen assailant and brutally assaulted in her own police station, Phoebe can’t help but be deeply shaken. Then threatening messages show up on her doorstep. Phoebe must discover just who this dangerous stalker is before he starts targeting her family to get to her…

'The day Kevin Tucker nearly killed her, Molly Somerville swore off unrequited love forever...'



Susan Elizabeth Phillips is one of my favourite romance authors!


There's no one quite like her and when I describe her to people I always struggle with authors to compare her with. There's no one quite like Susan!


The best description I've come up with is that Susan writes romances that are most similar to the screwball comedies of the 30s and 40s but with a contemporary setting. Think Bringing Up Baby with a modern day twist! They're very, very funny!




This month we're publishing the delightful This Heart of Mine, along with two other of Susan's novels: Nobody's Baby But Mine and Heaven, Texas. Wonderful romps one and all...


This Heart of Mine also has one of my favourite opening lines to a romance novel - see above!


Do you have a favourite romantic comedy writer? If so, we'd love to know who...?
