Writer Nora Roberts has had enough of the speculation — enhanced by romance’s recent plagiarism scandal — about the “true” authorship of her books.
So she took to Facebook recently to explain to the world just how she manages to produce what she does.
(The tl;dr version? Discipline, drive, desire. No ghostwriters or co-authors.)
Read Roberts’s (in her words) “probably doomed” effort to outline her writing process on her Facebook page.

Nora Roberts denied rumors about her use of ghostwriters. In a frankously Facebook post, she said it was discipline, drive, and desire that had in fact led to her prolific writing. She said she writes every word herself — no ghostwriters, no co-authors. Roberts talked about how she writes every day, the work ethic she’s nurtured for decades and how she thinks of storytelling as the bedrock of her sustained success over the years.

No way in hell she doesn’t use ghost writers! It’s physically impossible for one person to write the number of words she writes in a year. At least James Patterson acknowledges his “co-writers” on the covers of his books, too bad Nora doesn’t have the courage to give credit where credit is due! 🤬
Very late to that party, but I, too, am a big fan of Mrs. Roberts. Her book, Carolina Moon, motivated me to go back to writing (it wasn't my only push, but a solid one). Her post (or is it a rant) is was amazing. I am not ashamed to say I favorited it, and plan to reread it from time to time.
I just read The Witness by Nora Roberts and the book was awesome, the writing was so amazing the story was funny, scary, and so believable. I was sad to stop reading. I love Roberts books and will read more of her stories, what a good author.
I have all the JD Robb books but last two. They are boring and no humor . She has left out everyone but Eve And Roark. The dialogue is awful. So sad.
Love your books!
Currently reading Identity and was left gobsmacked that the main character bought a hybrid vehicle and once of her justifications was that there were charging stations at her place of employment...Hybrids are NEVER charged from an outside source, there is no port. It's all internal. So disappointed this made it through proofreading, editing and final print
In reading these criticisms of Nora Robert’s’ last few novels, I couldn’t help but wonder if maybe these commenters were reading these works with a somewhat jaundiced eye. Maybe, having heard the rumors about Roberts’ possibly using ghost writers BEFORE they read the works, their reading was tainted by this slant? I don’t know. I’m not a fan of the romances, but I love her J.D. Robb series, and I have enjoyed the last few every bit as much as I did the first ones I read. But I had not heard these rumors prior to my reading, so…………..
I’m reading Nightwork which is a very slow read, unusual for a Nora Roberts book. Now I’ve just come across a major error which bothers me no end. She referred to the Chicago White Sox as the Socks! Not once but several times! So maybe she isn’t a baseball fan, but surely an editor should have caught this.
I have always liked MS Roberts books even the fantasy ones which I am not usually fond of. I have wondered about her prolific writing, but decided not to worry about something I can't do anything about and just enjoy not question
