Yay! It looks like it may be a happy ending for author Nora Roberts' hotel (yes, that would be the same Nora Roberts whose books you spent all summer reading on the beach).

Last year, the author had planned to open up an inn out in her hometown Boonsboro, Maryland, converting a 200-year-old building into a cool literary-themed hotel. Sadly, during the renovations — almost a year ago this week, actually — the hotel caught fire, and the blaze spread to the buildings next to it causing an estimated $1.5 million in damages.

We weren't sure whether or not she and her husband were going to move forward with the opening, but it seems she pushed through: the 2.5-story Inn Boonsboro will open up this Tuesday, featuring (according to the Annapolis Capital) "rooms named for literary couples including Eve and Roarke from a series of novels Roberts wrote under the name J.D. Robb." Rates start around $220; reservation info can be found here.
