Also believe the The Great Gatsby is a book about how swell it was to be rich in the '20s.

Hey Nora! Holy heck, has it really been six months since we chatted? I would have contacted you if I realized it was so long. Time really sneaks up on you, huh? I'm doing great now that the kids are back in school. I love them to bits, but it's nice to get some "alone time" to write on weekday mornings. Speaking of which, are you still interested in collaborating on that anthology with Sarah and Clive? Hope you're doing well, too! Hugs and kisses! P.S. Steven's here with me in bed and just noticed who I was e-mailing. He says to to tell you "Mr. Bachman wants to know if we'll see you in Boonsboro over the holidays." Cute, but he scares me sometimes. -Robyn
Sometimes I send replies.

I recently came across your work and felt compelled to reach out. Itโs always inspiring to connect with writers who are deeply committed to storytelling and the creative craft. For me, writing is not only an expression of imagination, itโs also an act of observation and reflection. Some of the most powerful ideas emerge in those still moments when we simply listen. Iโm curious to know what themes or narratives have been shaping your writing lately. Kind regards, Nora Roberts
I get e-mails.
