A month or so ago, book reviewer Lisa Lenard-Cook informed me she would not be able to write for the Alibi much—if at all—for the foreseeable future. It seems she went and got herself published and plans to teach a course or two while promoting her book, The Mind of Your Story: Discover What Drives Your Fiction. She’ll be giving a workshop and signing copies of her new book on at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 6, at Bookworks (4022 Rio Grande NW). Good for you, Lisa—you know where to find me if the reviewing itch needs a scratchin’.
