I just found where Nora’s announced that the books chosen for the next set of Lifetime movies are…
I really, really can’t wait! I hope Lifetime picks some awesome leads. As I know more, I’ll post here.
Later,

You might have noticed that I’ve been updating. The home page list of books now has the most current information on Nora’s books. The links are all updated to be the most recent releases, and I’ve added almost all the new Nora books I have added to my shelves. I also found something very interesting…
The Official Nora Roberts Companion. Released in 2003, this book not only has the information about Nora’s books, but her as well. The introduction was written by her, so you’d think the book would be the most accurate collection of information on her career out there to date.
If you have this, I’d love to know if it’s worth the investment to other Nora readers. I have it on my wish list for Christmas, but we’ll see what others think.
More site updates coming soon, but for now I’m off to re-read another favorite!

I have been given permission to reprint reviews from WeWriteRomance.com here on my site, so from time to time you’ll see some. Here’s the latest for Tribute!
Cilla McGowen is the granddaughter of Hollywood legend Janet Hardy and the daughter of a Hollywood wannabe. She was a child star with her own series, but when the series ended and voice overs and bit parts didn’t interest her any longer, she knew she wanted something more out of life than the flash and burn of Hollywood. So she went to college for a semester, then got married and subsequently divorced (even though her exhusband and her are still best friends).
Now, when Dilly, Cilla’s mother, needs money to get a show together, Cilla offers her the money for a piece of family property located in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Dilly begrudgingly takes the money and hands over the unmaintained property.
Cilla had been doing contractor work for a while, and she was ready for something that was going to be her own and something that would enable her to rebuild her relationship with her father at the same time. The property was the key. And all was going well until weird things started to happen around Little Farm. Things like horrible notes being left in the mailbox and dolls that looked Cilla showing up.
Ford Sawyer, the neighbor across the road, meets Cilla and can’t quite shake the feelings he has for her. Ford and Cilla start getting together when the accidents start and he tries to help her solve the mysterious death of her grandmother, and find out who is trying to run her off from Little Farm in order to keep the secrets hidden.
This is a good book for curling up with and having a nice cup of tea, it’s not my typical murder mystery but it really has substance and feeling, I will keep it with my growing collection of Nora Roberts books. It has kind of a homey feel to it.
I haven’t had the chance to get this one yet, but it’s on my definite TBR pile. If you have, I’d love to know if you agree with the review.
In case you haven’t already read this on Nora’s site, I wanted to share the great news! Yea! More Nora movies. I just can’t wait!
LOS ANGELES, CA – After the success of the four Nora Roberts movies that aired on Lifetime Television in 2007, the network will join forces once again with Mandalay Television and Stephanie Germain Productions to produce four all-new Original Movies based on Nora Roberts’ best-selling novels to air in 2009.
In making the announcement, Susanne Daniels, President, Entertainment, Lifetime Networks, said, “Our loyal viewers are devoted Nora Roberts fans, as evidenced by the great ratings and buzz from our movies last year. We couldn’t be happier to deliver four all-new bestsellers to the screen. I’m thrilled to be teaming with Nora, Peter and Stephanie once again. The quality of the first four films was excellent and we couldn’t have a better team behind Nora’s outstanding stories.”
Guber said, “Reconvening our stellar partnership with Nora Roberts and Lifetime provides a unique opportunity to build upon our successful franchise.” Added Germain, “Nora Roberts’ captivating books clearly translate into event-driven television. We are thrilled to bring four more of her extraordinary stories to the screen.” Six best-selling Nora Roberts titles are being considered for movies to air in 2009. They include: Tribute, High Noon, Northern Lights, True Betrayals, Midnight Bayou and Carnal Innocence.
“I’m delighted to be working again with the excellent partnership of Mandalay Television, Stephanie Germain Productions and Lifetime Television,” said Roberts. “The care and attention to detail they gave the four movies that aired in 2007 made for wonderful entertainment. Peter Guber and Stephanie Germain kept the essence of each book, and Lifetime’s outstanding promotion brought a whole new level of anticipation among my readers to see the books brought to film,” Roberts continued. “I’m anticipating another four exciting adaptations to air in 2009.”
I know I’m repeating myself, but HOW GREAT! =)
