The 2016 Romance Writers of America Conference is now over. It was special to me in many ways, but most of all because it was in my hometown of San Diego. A couple highlights and pictures ~
A high school friend, Jose Cruz, is Chief Executive Officer of the San Diego Council on Literacy and was instrumental in setting up the Literacy Signing on July 13th. I’m only sorry that I did not get a picture with him. He was busy putting out fires…
Seeing another high school friend, Pam L. and her best buddy Pam B. show up at the literacy signing made my night! The signing happens before every annual conference and with San Diego’s event, topped One Million Dollars that has been donated to helping with literacy in the USA!
High School Friend & and resident trouble-trouble maker. (Love her!)
I loved getting together with the Harlequin authors and editors (who came all the way from London!)
