![]() ![]() While writing might not have been in Nora Roberts’ blood as a child, she made up for it in 1979, when she first sat down to write. with her husband, Roberts had two sons, Dan and Jason, whose names would later inspire her JD Robb pen name. She did, though, meet her future husband at high school, whom she married immediately after graduation in 1968. ![]() Roberts’ school years were unspectacular, and, unlike some authors, the seed for writing was not planted at this time. However, although she greatly enjoyed reading, Roberts was not a keen writer as a child, which, given her output now, is somewhat surprising. Roberts grew up in a family which valued literature, and so she grew up immersed in books. Roberts has Irish ancestry, which is reflected through some of her work, especially her Irish Hearts series of books.

The name Ta-Nehisi comes from an Egyptian word for Nubia, which roughly translates to “land of the black.” Coates had seven siblings on his father’s side his parents were strict and attentive, and his mother taught him to read at the age of four. Ta-Nehisi Coates was born to Cheryl Waters and Paul Coates, a former local captain of the Black Panther Party and founder of Black Classic Press. ![]() ![]() They emerged during the 19th century with the growing spending power of the middle class. Modern breeds as we now define our pets are a relatively recent phenomenon. We’ve been shaping and reshaping dogs for specific purposes-hunting, herding, working, companionship-for thousands of years. We can see what looks like a greyhound pictured on a Grecian urn, or a toy poodle in a Renaissance painting, but they’re not necessarily genetically linked to our modern breeds. Q: The book includes so many fascinating facts about dogs-what did you find that especially surprised you?Ī: Well, one thing that surprised me was that modern breeds haven’t necessarily progressed in a linear fashion from ancient breeds. I love being able to provide kids with a nonfiction dog book that can pair up with their beloved fictional dog stories. ![]() Why not a mashup?Īlso, if there’s a genre called “dog literature,” I was one of those kids who read the complete oeuvre.
