NEWS & NOTES

PFL is looking for a few good writers to plug the gaps in our ranks. If you’re looking for a critique group or know someone who is, please check us out. We don’t bite newcomers (often).

PFL member emeritus Gloria A. has finished the third book in her thriller series about espionage in the Mideast (congratulations, Gloria!) and is looking for beta readers. If you’re interested, comment on this post and I’ll hook you up.

• Saturday/Sunday, Apr. 18-19: Los Angeles Times Festival of Books (at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles)
