Roberta Pearce’s relationship with romance novels began when she fell into a box of her aunt’s dog-eared treasures that miraculously opened at the most interesting bits. All through post-secondary adventures – Russian Lit: good; torrid love scenes: better – this amour de HEA took her, though it goes without saying that she failed French. One day, she decided to make a useful contribution to society and write HEAs rather than just reading them, and still seeks one for herself in real life.

Winner of 2013 & 2014 NaNoWriMo, Pearce is still waiting for her cheques. Her influences include Fyodor Dostoyevsky [his dreamy side], Douglas Adams, Rupert Brooke, Mary Burchell, and Omar Khayyam. While she currently has no pets, she once had a pair of Si

It's a contemporary romance [natch!] about two people who both suffered public humiliations at the hands of former lovers, learning to trust enough to love again.

Following that work, I hope to publish the novel that resulted from my NaNoWriMo efforts last year - still a romance, but a bit of a departure for me, as it is also a bit of a suspense, and it's my first time writing in first person!(less)

http://bit.ly/theboysclubnovel I really did have plans to blog more regularly, but I’ve been busy reading Angie Martin’s The Boys Club, so . . .

Quotes by Roberta Pearce  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Speaking of which, about assuming you had a condom—I just meant that you, with your experience, would be prepared for responsible sex, even if it were on the fly. An intelligent man is prepared for spontaneity.”
Roberta Pearce, A Bird Without Wings

“. . . the only way to tell off an asshole was face-to-face and to look fantastic doing it. So, here she was, with perfect makeup, hair done in a riot of waves that had taken a ridiculously long time to create, and a brand new screw you and the horse you rode in on dress laid out on her bed.”
Roberta Pearce, The Value of Vulnerability

“A bride should look chaste—not caught.”
Roberta Pearce, For Those Who Wait

Topics Mentioning This Author

“You can't blame a writer for what the characters say.”
Truman Capote

“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.”
Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time

“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”
Oscar Wilde, The Happy Prince and Other Stories

“The natural tenderness and delicacy of our constitution, added to the many dangers we are subject to from your sex, renders it almost impossible for a single lady to travel without injury to her character. And those who have a protector in a husband have, generally speaking, obstacles to prevent their roving.”
Abigail Adams
