個人生活

編輯

早期

編輯

1950年10月10日埃莉諾·瑪麗·羅伯遜出生於馬里蘭州銀泉，是五個孩子最小的。[2]她是愛爾蘭後裔。[3]她的家人都酷愛讀書，所以書在她的生活中總是很重要。[4]她在一所天主教學校學習。[5]高中二年級時，羅伯茨轉學到當地的公立學校，蒙哥馬利布萊爾高中。[6]在那裡她遇到了她的第一任丈夫Ronald Aufdem-Brinke。1968年高中畢業後他們結婚。[7][8]

羅伯茨的丈夫在他父親的公司工作。她生了兩個兒子，Dan和Jason。羅伯茨成為了一個家庭主婦。羅伯茨花了很多時間做工藝品，包括陶瓷和縫製孩子的衣服。[7]與丈夫1983年離婚。

現在

編輯

羅伯茨與第二任丈夫Bruce Wilder相遇，他是一個木匠，因為羅伯茨聘請他為她修書架而認識。1985年7月他們結婚。她的丈夫擁有並經營一家書店。[9]還擁有附近歷史悠久的一家酒店。[10]

當羅伯茨專注於寫一部小說時[11]，每天要工作8個小時，即使度假也一樣。[8]羅伯茨不是開始一個大綱或劇情梗概，而是設想一個重要事件，人物，背景等。[12]然後她開始寫有一個故事基本元素的很短的初稿。完成初稿後，羅伯茨又回到了小說的開頭。第二稿通常開始增加細節，增加「紋理和色彩」的工作，以及對人物進行更深入的研究。在修正最後定稿後發送給經紀人。[13]

她經常寫三部曲，這樣她就可以繼續保留相同角色。[14]她的三部曲都是平裝版本出版，因為羅伯茨認為，等待精裝版本對讀者來說時間太長。[4]

羅伯茨在互聯網上做了很多研究，因為她討厭飛行。[8]

她是一個狂熱的棒球迷。[15]
