Romance stars came together last Wednesday for the Literacy Signing. This mega event raised over $53,000 for literacy programs in San Antonio. Above is Tracy Solheim, author of the Out of Bounds series set in Baltimore. Tracy will be my partner for an upcoming project that kicks off in September to celebrate the football season ... stay tuned.
