Roby James

    Roby Jamesová se literatuře věnuje od devíti let. Její tvorba se vyznačuje pronikavým pohledem na lidské vztahy a společenské otázky, často s osobitým humorem a bystrou observací. Zkušenosti z psaní pro televizi a divadlo obohatily její prozaický styl o dynamiku a silné dialogy. Jamesová mistrně propojuje své znalosti z technického psaní a publicistiky s uměním fiktivního vyprávění, čímž čtenářům přináší díla, která jsou jak podnětná, tak poutavá.
