Books

Between 1973 and 2011, Robert B. Parker published nearly 70 books. Almost all of them were bestsellers.

He started each of his books with a very brief sketch of an idea—a sentence or two, sometimes more. There was never a detailed outline. As he wrote, Bob usually wasn't sure what would happen until it did.

He would sit down to write five and, later, ten pages a day. Once he was in his "groove," the words flowed easily, frequently leading him and his characters in unanticipated directions. Bob loved to write, and he always wondered at how his fingers often seemed to do the thinking for him. He disliked rewriting, however, and grumbled (not always to himself) whenever Joan or his editor, Chris Pepe, thought he should make changes. There were not a lot of them.

While Bob is best known for his bestselling detective series—those featuring Spenser, Jesse Stone or Sunny Randall—the range of things that mattered to him was much broader. He was thrilled when Ed Harris turned one of his westerns, Appaloosa, into an excellent motion picture.

Bob's publisher enabled him to produce books about things he thought about a lot, including baseball (Double Play), generations (All Our Yesterdays), and young love (Love and Glory). He and Joan wrote A Year at the Races, about the world of horse racing, and also combined to write Three Weeks in Spring, about Joan's first battle with breast cancer. Even though young adult novels did not come easily to Bob, he wrote three of them.
