Dear Reader,



It’s difficult to pinpoint when I first became enamored with sports heroes. From high school football games to college basketball, I always enjoyed whooping it up for the home team. It’s a joy that only grew after marrying a pitcher on my college’s baseball team—a pitcher who went on to be a sports editor for a variety of newspapers around the country. During those years I had the pleasure of learning about sports from the inside out—the human dramas underlying the plays on the field.



And while my husband was always more interested in the forces that shaped an athlete for greatness, I’ll admit I occasionally speculated on a player’s love life. What can I say? We were each called to our professions for a reason! I hope you will enjoy the inside peek into four players’ romantic journeys during pivotal moments in their careers, in Sliding into Home.



It’s always a pleasure to hear from readers. You can reach me at joanne@joannerock.com.



Happy reading!



Joanne Rock
