You would think that with now having 280 million books in print, that uber-romance author Nora Roberts wouldn't have time to blog about her vacations. But she does. She has a full trip diary with photos, recounting her and her husband's August, 2004 trip to the Emerald Isles. And yes, she blogs just as well as she does everything else. Her latest book (writing as J.D. Robb) is Survivor in Death (Putnam), the newest entry in the futuristic/noir police procedural series which follows the exploits of tough as nails homicide detective Eve Dallas. We just love Eve, her husband Roarke, her partner Peabody, her best friend Mavis -- and Nora's futuristic Manhattan. Apparently, Mel Gibson loves them too. The Eve Dallas "In Death" series has been optioned by Fox 2000 for Mel Gibson and Bruce Davey's studio-based Icon Productions as a full-length feature film.
