Her books have been published in 25 languages and in more than 125 countries around the world, and more than 35 million copies have been sold. Six of her books have been finalists in the Romance Writers of America RITA contest, and she has been honored with Reviewer's Choice awards by Romantic Times magazine. The Iowa Library Association presented her the Johnson Brigham award in 2003 for substantial and sustained literary contributions to American culture.
She also writes non-fiction, including On Writing Romance, which has been called the definitive guide to writing romance novels, and Creating Romantic Characters.

Lemberger, of a book about the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904, and of many local history books.

Her first submission was accepted and published by the first editor to read it.
