The Final Target

Nora Roberts, the number one best-selling author at The New York Times and "America's favorite writer," as described by The New Yorker magazine, once commented: "I don't write about Cinderellas who sit around waiting for their Prince Charming to come and save them. They have plenty of capacity to move forward on their own. The "prince" is like an extra salary, a complement, something more... but not the only answer to their problems." More than four hundred million printed copies of her books give credibility to the complicity that Nora Roberts manages to establish with women around the world. The success of his novels is undoubted, and those who read it once, repeat it. She knows how to talk to today's women about themselves: her readers are professional, strong and independent, like the characters she creates in her books, and her stories reach a very wide female audience because they are much more than romantic novels. The numbers speak for themselves: Nora Roberts has written more than 180 novels that have been published in 34 countries, sell about 27 of her novels per minute, and 42 have appeared in the first week of sales in The New York Times' No. 1 covetousness.
