BOOK TOUR for The Rom-Commers!
ALL THE DETAILS about the JUNE 10-29 BOOK TOUR !!
Some events are ticketed and some are not. Some have limited seating, and last year a few folks were turned away—so register early! In the past, we’ve done most of the Texas stops first, and then the rest of the country. This year, we’re spreading the Texas stops out a bit. There are TWO Houston events, for example—over a week apart. Links to ticketed events below. If you have questions about procedures, please check with the stores!
Can’t wait to get out there and celebrate The Rom-Commers!!!
