Nora Roberts was born Eleanor Marie Robertson in 1950 in Silver Spring, Maryland. She published her first novel, Irish Thoroughbred, in 1981. By the mid-1990s she was already an established and highly successful romance author. During that period she launched the J.D. Robb pseudonym specifically to write crime fiction with a futuristic setting, with a different tone and branding from her Nora Roberts work.

Under the J.D. Robb name, the In Death series has continued for decades and and includes numerous novels, novellas, and short stories, all published under the J.D. Robb name. On this site, all books listed under J.D. Robb belong to the In Death universe.

In addition to J.D. Robb, Nora Roberts has also written under the pseudonyms Jill March and Sarah Hardesty across different genres, keeping distinct identities for each series.
