个人生活

早期

1950年10月10日埃莉诺·玛丽·罗伯逊出生于马里兰州银泉,是五个孩子最小的。[2]她是爱尔兰后裔。[3]她的家人都酷爱读书,所以书在她的生活中总是很重要。[4]她在一所天主教学校学习。[5]高中二年级时,罗伯茨转学到当地的公立学校,蒙哥马利布莱尔高中。[6]在那里她遇到了她的第一任丈夫Ronald Aufdem-Brinke。1968年高中毕业后他们结婚。[7][8]

罗伯茨的丈夫在他父亲的公司工作。她生了两个儿子,Dan和Jason。罗伯茨成为了一个家庭主妇。罗伯茨花了很多时间做工艺品,包括陶瓷和缝制孩子的衣服。[7]与丈夫1983年离婚。

现在

罗伯茨与第二任丈夫Bruce Wilder相遇,他是一个木匠,因为罗伯茨聘请他为她修书架而认识。1985年7月他们结婚。她的丈夫拥有并经营一家书店。[9]还拥有附近历史悠久的一家酒店。[10]

当罗伯茨专注于写一部小说时[11],每天要工作8个小时,即使度假也一样。[8]罗伯茨不是开始一个大纲或剧情梗概,而是设想一个重要事件,人物,背景等。[12]然后她开始写有一个故事基本元素的很短的初稿。完成初稿后,罗伯茨又回到了小说的开头。第二稿通常开始增加细节,增加“纹理和色彩”的工作,以及对人物进行更深入的研究。在修正最后定稿后发送给经纪人。[13]

她经常写三部曲,这样她就可以继续保留相同角色。[14]她的三部曲都是平装版本出版,因为罗伯茨认为,等待精装版本对读者来说时间太长。[4]

罗伯茨在互联网上做了很多研究,因为她讨厌飞行。[8]

她是一个狂热的棒球迷。[15]
